Facebook in 5 Minutes - Linking Content

Today's Tip is centered on promoting your Facebook Business Page by including a link in your post. As you navigate the internet you might see buttons and places where you can 'share' a website, an article or feature. For example, we encourage business owners to have a business blog where they add articles. Blog sites like Blogger and Wordpress have the option to easily share your post on your Facebook or Twitter account. If there isn't an option to 'share' content, you can still add a link to your Facebook Post.

How do I Post a Link?
• Go to your business page
• Below the header, you'll see a status box (similar to personal Facebook pages).
• Copy the URL (Ctrl+C) of the website you want to link (Make sure you have the exact link so that people will be directly taken to the specific article, picture or page)
• Paste the link (Ctrl+V) in the Status box (says "Write Something")
• Facebook will automatically create the link with a picture and website description if available.
• Type a message about why they should click the link and then click 'Post'.


What Do I Link to?
• Other businesses or affiliate websites you recommend
• Articles that relate to your industry
• Trending news stories that relate to your business
• Videos and articles you have posted

Time for Action
Now is the time - don't put it off until later - take 5 minutes or less to search for a trending article or video that relates to your industry or pick one of your own. Go into your Facebook Business page and create a post that includes this link. Try to incorporate this into your social media routine as often as possible. Facebook is about sharing and you should be using it as a tool to position yourself as an expert. It only takes 5 minutes!
