Using Social Media to Boost Your Business Exposure:
Recently I got an email from REALTOR.COM Marketing on how to build a business page/fan page for your business. Not only it was a great suggestion they shared some valuable tips on how to customize the page by using Facebook Markup Language
So why set your sights on Facebook as one of your marketing resources? The answer is quite simple; Facebook is probably one of the largest countries “cyber country” in the world with 500+/- Million members, advertiser and companies it becomes a powerful networking platform. Anyway this article is not about facebook demographics, let’s talk about some code and get you started with your own face book page. This tutorial is very basic and it’s probably for the very beginners with no experience creating a webpage/facebook page.
Step one: is to build your fan/business page: FBML don’t work with your regular FB profile. How you asked? Here’s a link that can help http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php, if you don’t have a face book profile you still can crate the page. If you already have facebook account you can link your new page to your current account. My suggestion is that if you have a FB account link it to your new fan page. Once you get to the create page just follow the steps!
Step two: now you want to customize your page ah! Well the good news is that your imagination is the limit you can do almost anything. I’ve seen some really impressive fan pages and I always wondered “How they do that?” well yes it takes a little know how and some HTML. Ok you already created your FB Fan Page: now you want to make sure that the program that allows you to create these powerful HTML pages is installed in your Fan Page. To install the program simply make sure that you are logged in to with your FB profile, do a search for FBML, once you identify the FBML page and open it click on the link that says “Add to my page” you will find this link right under the dummy image on the left. Once you do this you will see fireworks and confetti… nahhh Just kidding really nothing happens.
Step three: Go to your new page and click on “edit page” under your picture/company logo on the left. Once you click edit page a new window will open. On the left look for and click on the link that says “applications”. A new window will open and you will see a list of programs that are available. Look for the FBML icon and click on the link on the bottom of it that says “Go to Application”. Once you click go to application the editing window will open. Time to get your FBML on the way, don’t worry I discovered that you can get a lot done with HTML. If you already know some basic HTML you will be able to create hyper links, use pictures as backgrounds, change the background colors of your page, style links and font colors. Here’s some of the HTML codes that I personally use the following codes and they worked really well:
<hr />
< style="your style code "h1,h2,h3> </h1,h2,h3>
<div> </div>
<img scr="http://yourmagesamplelocation.c o m >
<p> </p>
I'm sure that there's a lot more but these will give you a good head strat, I hope this has been helpful if so I don't mind if you leave me a shoutout at my page or here on this blog.
Basically I build my page using these few HTML styles. You can check it out for your self and possible grab some ideas or leave me some suggestions. Visit my FB Page!!!
By the way did I mention that I don’t have any HTML formal training?
