Posting to a Business Page from Your Business: Facebook Tips

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Yesterday I posted How to Post to Your Facebook Business Page As You (And Not Your Business). That post (and accompanying video) got a lot of good response and some great follow-up questions.

One of the questions was from a woman who wanted to post to a business’s Facebook page, and have the post attributed to her business, not to herself.

I created a video which you can watch on YouTube or below, but here are two critical steps:

  • You need to become a fan of the business in question (and what do you know, I created a video on that, too!)
  • You need to use the Facebook convention of “mentioning” the other business in your post with the @ symbol.

That’s it! Of course, it helps if the other business has their default wall setting to show all posts, not just their own posts.

UPDATE: You can now post, comment or like something on your business page as yourself.

How to Post To Your Facebook Business Page As You (And Not As Your Business)

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

If your company has a business page on Facebook and your an administrator, you’ve probably realized that whenever you post to the wall, it appears to come from your business, and not you. I.e., if I post to the flyte new media page on Facebook it gets posted as if flyte new media wrote it and not Rich Brooks.

Then I saw Jaica Kinsman post to our Social Media FTW page as herself, so I asked her how to do it.

That answer was the basis of this video I created called How to Comment as You on Your Facebook Business Page. (I’m happy with neither the name of the video or this blog post, but I digress.)

Hopefully that helps with something you’ve been struggling with.

UPDATE: You can now post, comment or like something on your business page as yourself.
