Tips and Tutorials

Tip #2
Add Applications

Some of this information below cam from Mari Smith the PIed Piper of Facebook. I am compiling several tips to help you master Facebook and use it for your business. Hope some of these tips help.

Just as you can add apps to your Profile, you can add many of the apps to your Page. Recommended apps inculde:

• Static FBML (Facebook Markup Language) – allows you to include any of your own HTML.
• Flash Player – upload your own Flash files for advanced customization.
• YouTube Box – import videos you’ve already loaded to YouTube.
• Kyte – create your own TV channel.
• Simply RSS – import your various feeds. (See also Notes below).

Facebook default apps;

• Notes – import your primary blog post.

1. On the Notes page, select the “Import a blog” link on the right side of the page.
2. Enter the URL (web address) of your blog into the text box, and check the box underneath that states that you agree to our Terms of Use.
3. To complete the process, click on “Save Settings”. Once you do this, your past posts will be in notes and any new posts you make will automatically display.

• Photos – load and tag pics. (Note – you can’t pull pics over from your personal Profile. You have to upload pics from afresh as Facebook doesn’t make the connection that your Profile and your Page are the same person!)
• Videos -load your videos on Facebook even if they’re also on YouTube, Viddler, etc. for added exposure.
• Posted Items – share links with useful resources for your fans.
