How to Create a Facebook Page and Landing Page





One of the most popular blog posts I’ve ever written was The Blogger’s Guide to Facebook. It has been viewed over 20,000 times and the videos within that post have accumulated over 120,000 views.

Unfortunately, those videos are now outdated. Facebook, as many of you know, loves to update and change things around – so my walkthroughs for creating a Facebook Page and creating a Facebook Landing Page are a bit off.
Several people have requested that I reshoot these videos and publish updated versions.

Below, you’ll find updated videos on how to create a Facebook Page, as well as how to create a Facebook Landing Page.

If you have yet to utilize Facebook for your blog or business, you’re falling way behind. There are now over 500 million users active on Facebook and every month people spend a total of over 700 billion minutes on it (see Facebook Statistics).

This is Craziness.

For most businesses, Facebook has become one of the top traffic sources (2nd only Google), and it has helped to connect with our audience in a way that no other platform has. On the Facebook Page (now 5,060 fans strong) we could ask for opinions or pose questions and have 15-30 responses within minutes. By the end of the Day, you would have up to 50 or 100 comments.

In the past, companies would pay Top Dollar for an honest response from an audience like that, which is exactly why today you’ll see that most companies, big and small, are setup with their own Facebook Pages too.

If you haven’t already set one up, now you can – for free!

If you do already have a page, I still recommend that you watch through these videos because I’ve added a few tips and tricks that will maximize your Facebook efforts, and you may end up changing a thing or two (see the image at the very top for a preview).
At the bottom of this post, you’ll also see some downloadables. These are the PSD files that go along with the videos, and the code for your landing page as well.

Enjoy the videos!

Part 2: How to Create a Facebook Landing Page (UPDATED!)

If you have a landing page for your Facebook Page, even if you’ve already set one up before this post was published, it is important to leave a link in the comment section of the blog. This way, they can be inspired by everyone else’s landing pages and possibly earn the interest of new fans for the page.

No advertisements or descriptions necessary please, just a link and any comments about this post or how Facebook has helped your business grow.
