How to Create A Business Fan Page On Facebook

It is true that Facebook is a temptation for anyone, even for a freelancer or SME, go if it is ... more than 500 million registered users, of which about 14 million live in Spain or in other words 29% of Spanish population has a Facebook profile (data from May 2011).

The other day a friend told me ... Hey! That we are on Facebook!, Referring to his store. I know that behind this initiative no marketing plan or goals, or anything like that. The step has been taken, whatever the trigger that prompted him to do so, the company of my friend is now on Facebook. Right now this is what counts, period.

Come if you like to go over some points that are essential to understand before taking this step.

    Do not mistake one profile with a Fan Page (Fan Pages).
    The Facebook Fan Pages are created for:
        Place or Local Business
        Company, organization or institution
        Brand or Product
        Artist, band or public figure
        Entertainment
        Cause or Community
    The profile is for people and aims to find friends, share photos of parties and others. Used to find out what your friends want you to find out and why not say, to gossip a little.
    The High-Profile form ie a person, ask date of birth, name, sex ... this is not data specific to a brand or company right?
    A Fan Page is a more corporate, no friends, there are fans.
    A Fan page, used to communicate with the followers of your business, for example to advertise new products, special offers, etc..
    Setting permissions and privacy is much simpler in Fan Pages in the profiles.
    The content of Fan Pages are indexed by Google, the contents of the Profiles no.
    Of course your friends may be fans of your business page, but on the wall of your company will not see messages such as "Mario is now friends with Mary"
    Use this form to register your company, brand, business or your musical group on Facebook.

My recommendations:

    If you are adding your business on Facebook does not use the same email account with which they walk into your personal profile, use another.
    Once you have created the fan page, fill in the basic information tab. With a description of your business, do not forget the timing, location map, etc..
    The logo is essential.
    Respond to all comments you come through the wall of your page.
    Use straightforward language and close to communicate with your followers.
    It offers quality information ... offers, new campaigns, etc.. This is what will make a difference with respect to competition, which incidentally is also on Facebook.

Some marketing:

    Your initial goal is to make your brand more people know her as well as loyalty.
    When you are able to reach 25 fans, you can put a logical username to your Fan Page, for example www.facebook.com / andante772. Meanwhile you have is a url rather complex and difficult to communicate to customers of your store.
    When you have your username use it on your bills, your communication by mail, in your radio ads, on the label of your business, cars, etc..
    A good trick is to think that where post advertisements for the phone number of your business must also address the Facebook page.
    If you have a blog you must pair it with your Facebook page, this way it will post on the blog to Facebook automatically.
    If you have a website should be well placed the link to the Facebook page.
   Think that Facebook is a new way of communication with your customers and followers, therefore this condition the maximum squeezing.
    Inside your business, make visible this new Facebook address for customers who visit you.

Postscript. Unfortunately my friend created a profile and not a fan page for your company, is going more work than necessary and also its content will not be found by Google, to see what I say ... or better ... read it here. But ... branded tachaaann! Recommended readings have a link that explains how to convert a profile to a fan page!

Creating a business page on Google+ and get badge for blog

At the beginning of the month of November 2011, Google opened the possibility that companies and brands to create your Google+ page. Until then, only allowed discharge of personal profiles. If you have a business, brand, company, or other musical group, it's time to have your own page on Google+.


Some time ago I wrote an article called "A company has no friends, has fans" and tried not to fall into the mistake of creating a personal profile to manage our brand presence on Facebook.

Now with Google+, and although it is mandatory to have a personal profile to create and manage a brand page (not in Facebook), which subsequently we empower our followers, customers, etc.. page is not marked as such profile that aims administration.

You should see the following video where you can see how a user added to his circles to a company that sells and repairs bicycles ZEN Bikes. The company uses Google+ page to announce not only their news but also as a meeting place with your customers with pictures of activities, hangouts (video conference), suggestion box, etc..


The strategy that Google poses to our business, is based on three pillars. The first is sharing, there is no doubt that this new space represents all a platform to share photos, videos, milestones and all we want to communicate the business. The second is to let you know by logos (logos) to be recognized by your followers and customers and aims to take you to your Google+ page. Finally measure ... and it's not easy to know the impact on our fans and customers, so Google is planning to offer in the future statistics on the use of your Google+ page


Steps to create your Google+ brand page and put a logo on blog


Step 1. Create a Page on Google+

     Sign in to Google+ for businesses and click on Create a page on Google+
     You must have already previously created a personal profile, otherwise you will give you high.
     Once inside you will see a screen like the one show below:

Select the button to the left (categories) that best defines your company brand. Depending on what you choose will ask certain data. Click the Create button to register your site
    In the next step will ask you to personalize the page with your company logo and a slogan.



Step 2. Get your insigna

    When your page is created, you will see a welcome page
    Click Get Badge (recommended) or accessed through this link you prefer on this link and then put the ID of your page if it appears empty. More info here
    Choose the type of logo that you like, I chose the large icon
    Copy the code to put on the blog now



Step 3. Add your insginia in Blog (Blogger)

    Open the tab "Design"
    In the sidebar select "Add New Gadget".
    A list, choose the one that says "HTML / Javascript".
    In content, paste the code obtained above.
    Save the template and view the blog.
    Remember that you can move the gadget to place it in the desired location.

How do I manage the new page on Google+?

When you enter your personal profile on Google+, you will see a dropdown to the left under your name from which you manage your pages.

How do I publish blog content on the new page on Google+?
So far I know of no service that links the publication of new blog posts to your Google+ page. So you should copy the url of the post that you happen to Google+ and paste it in the text box on your page News Google+

Post. In my case I have a personal profile and now a brand page, so far I have not seen a mechanism to migrate profile followers of the page.

The second and most important, the "Extensions" which are nothing more or less that additional functionality can be built into the browser itself.

The most practical way to approach this article is pintándote few everyday situations to see if you identify with any of them.


"I lose a lot of time looking for a way to access Google services"
Managing a blog is challenging, we have to go into Google Analytics to see statistics, then we will see if we have Gmail for email, respond to blog comments, etc.. We entered Blogger to also see statistics, compose new post ah ... and from time to time we look at our piggy bank called Google Adsense to see if we have some income from advertising, not to forget where we annotations Google Docs, Calendar, etc..

Google Shortcuts is a browser extension that offers access Google services (160) that most interest us with a simple click. Once installed you just have to look for services, click to add them to the list. Remember that you can manage your extensions from menu Tools -> Extensions or put in the browser address bar this chrome :/ / extensions /


"I lose a lot of time on my social networks to share the same information"
Besides that we have linked our blog with Facebook or Twitter you may be interested in publishing a link to specific input in order to re-promote it. So it is very common to have to go on Twiiter, Facebook, Linkld to post the same.

Sharedaholic, lets share links on your social networks. You can configure it to show you only the social networks that interest you. Now just copy the url of your post and click on this button to send it to all the social networks you've previously configured.


"I lose a lot of time writing down links to pages to read later."

Read Later Fast, allowed once on the item you click the right mouse button and press the Read later (see below). When you have time, open the browser and click on a new tab, press the Read application later and get access to items previously marked.


"I lose a lot of time getting to Gmail just to check if I have new messages."
Those expecting an important message and are continually checking your inbox and anything that does not come.

Gmail Checker shows you in the browser bar icon with the number of unread messages. Now you know in advance that you have something pending in your inbox.


"I like to be aware of the particulars of my Twitter"
If anything characterizes Twitter is the immediacy of information. It may interest you at all times monitor this network without having to be changing in the browser tab.


Silver Bird is a lightweight Twitter client for Chrome, so like Gmail Checker alerts you to tweets that mention you, besides letting you tweet directly

"I have to be continually capturing screens, cropping ..."
Indeed, when you write a tutorial on a web service, you lose a lot of time on this task.

Capture and Annotate allows you to capture all or part of the browser window, annotate and store the result in a PNG or even host the file on the web.

Here we mention the most common extensions that usually work with. There are thousands of extensions, both free and paid. Connect with Google Web Store to find more extensions for your browser.

What is Buffer and how to combine it with Blogger

Buffer is a service that allows you to store the notifications you cast from your blog to your social channels (Twitter, Linkedin or Facebook) for publication following is a schedule. In this article I give the keys to combine it with Blogger.

 One of the tasks as bloggers have to consider, is to promote not only the new post, but the above, as long as they maintain in full force and interest. In my case, what I did was open my post and click the Twitter button. Of course, not knowing if it was the best time or the best time. Also I did not like suddenly Tweet 3 or 4 items. So finally it was all a bit random and not follow a specific pattern. For me it has been a great discovery and I encourage you to implement it in your daily make as a blogger.


What is the idea?
The idea is simple. We continue by clicking on the Twitter button as if we were to publish but instead of "Tweet", Buffer will press the button, so that is not published at the time, but following a schedule and based on previous stock you have on Tweets for launch from Buffer. Ideally, go fill your Buffer and make 1 full week.

If you have the Twitter button you can also send your post to Buffer using the right mouse button, or by a new icon that will display in your browser to read it.

What does BUFFER against direct notification to your followers?

As I said before, Buffer is as a collector of the notifications you want to convey to your followers on Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin. Instead of launching a direct notification, it is stored to be launched following a few hours a day. Of course not everything has to go through the buffer, you can continue to report to your followers, as has been done so far. Remember to sync your new publications with your social channels can use IFTTT (recommended) or TwitterFeed.

Keys to combine Buffer with Blogger
Buffer register and Configuration

    Sign in BufferApp, creating a new account or using Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin
    Connect with your different accounts Buffer
    Click where it says Settings at the top to access the calendar
    Choose your social channel and now you can configure which days of the week and what time throw your notifications. (See this screen)

Install Buffer extension for your web browser

    Browser extension for Google Chrome (recommended)
    FireFox browser extension (from the extras of Buffer)
    Sailed Extension for Opera

"Buffea" your first post using the Twitter button
Do the usual, ie see a post and click on your button Twitter. Just click it and watch you Buffer button appears next to the button for Twitter. To add to Buffer should indicate by what account (Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn) you release it (may be three).

Now just send the Buffer tickets that you want to promote during the week, so that you have more time to new content, pending comments or simply respond sports, lol.

Install Buffer on your SMARTHPHONE
The mobile application allows you to share with Buffer any web address you're visiting. Plus you have access to your schedule can view the status of Buffer and statistics of each notification released. I have it installed and check the soil often.

    Buffer app for iPhone, iPad
    Buffer app for Android (Google Play)

How to know what time notify my followers?
This is the big question. What we want is that the impact of our notice have more effect. This is achieved notice in those times of the day where you have more active followers. For this statistics online services are able to provide this data. Furthermore, these services can automatically set Buffer schedule adjusting those hours more active followers.

    Timely
    Tweriod (very easy)
    SocialBro (Chrome extension)

Did you know BUFFER? Do you're using? Do you see it practical?

Why Pinterest is important for my blog?
Until now we have always emphasized that the content (text) is the most important for Blogger because on them depends the positioning of the blog, now if we lucirnos within options should also enhance the images included in our items, this makes excel, internalize that every post on our blog is like a page from a magazine, so the end result is much more professional and all options and Blogger makes an explosive combination.


One last tip, variety is the spice, so create your hobbies and tastes in parallel with the boards of your blog.

How Avoid The Same Description On Google Search

In this article we look at how to keep our post with the same description in Google result page, thus improving the SEO of our blog.


At Blogger you can indicate a description of the blog on the Settings tab and then description. This is highly recommended, but you must make a simple change to the HTML template so that this disclosure affects only the main blog address leaving as a description of each post the first paragraph of the same (156 characters), for this we will use a Simple conditional.

Do a search of your blog on Google to see if there is a problem

    In the search key Google Site: laurldetublog.blogspot.com
    Analyze the result. Here is a picture where you can see the problem



If you have configured Google WebMaster Tools, go to the Diagnostics tab and then click HTML suggestions and see where it says meta description should show the number of posts containing the same description. This is what we will address in this post.

Note: As you can see in the picture above, the description is the same in every post.

Steps to prevent all post show the same description

    Go to the Template tab and click Edit HTML button
    Find (Ctrl F or Ctrl B) this line in the code: CDATA [/ *
    Copy the following code and paste it just before the position where the previous line encontrastes:

    cond='data:blog.url <b:if data:blog.homepageUrl'> ==
       <meta content='Aquí must indicate the description of your blog' name='description'/>
    </ B: if>

Note: This code snippet should be in the head section ... </ head> blog. If you already have a fragment description is just add the condition.

Although it is a topic that is discussed in their day through this page, I have seen fit to make a post because of the importance from SEO perspective. Remember also that this issue (description and duplicate titles) is reported by the Webmaster Tools.

After applying the change to the template may take 1-2 weeks to see the new descriptions on the Google results page.

Finally thank the initiative of several followers of iniciaBlog for proposing this topic.

As always, I invite you to use comments to leave your opinion on this article. If you liked this post and want to be anywhere else, follow me via Facebook, Twitter, subscribe by email, Google Friend, RSS now also on Google +.

    Comments. It's a box to post comments from your website or blog, these are posted on the wall
    Live stream. Ideal for live events and live, allows active participation of users. A kind of chat where you seeing what others are writing.
