Bloggiesta Mini-Challenge: Promoting Your Blog On Facebook

Bloggiesta's mascot, Pedro

Welcome to the Bloggiesta Mini-Challenge on promoting your blog on Facebook.  With nearly 800 million users, it is the largest social network, making it an excellent platform to let the world know about your blog.  This mini-challenge will guide you through some easy and (mostly) free ways to do that.

Česky: Logo Facebooku English: Facebook logo E...

To Complete This Challenge

Follow one or more of the steps below.  Once you have completed them, share what you have done in the comments.  To qualify for the prize draw, include links to your blog post with a Facebook “Like” button or to your Facebook Fan Page for your blog.  If you discover any tips or tricks along the way, please share them in the comments.

1. Have Facebook “Like” buttons on every post

Italiano: versione ombreggiata e ingrandita de...A button for your readers to “Like” your posts and share that on Facebook is the easiest way to promote your blog on Facebook.  It is also the easiest way for your readers to share what they have read with their friends.  The instructions on how add a “Like” button to your posts for the major blogging platforms are as follows…

  • The wonderful Happiness Engineers at WordPress.com provide all the details on how to do it with this article on Sharing.
  • The easiest way to add the “Like” button to your self-hosted WordPress.org blog is with the following plugin.
  • If you’re using Blogger, you will need to modify the HTML code for your theme.  The simplest set of instructions I was able to find was on Mad Tomato.  Note: if you’re using the new Blogger interface, you will have to switch back to the old interface to follow the instructions.
  • Typepad also made it really easy to add the button.  You can find the instructions on how to do it on their blog.

2. Set up a Facebook Fan Page for your blog

Most blogging platforms have tools to automatically publicize new posts on Facebook (see #3 below).  You can use those tools to publicize your posts to your friends and family on your own Facebook page, or you can set up a Facebook Page for your blog and share with a much wider audience.  Since a Facebook Page is open to everyone, your followers can come from anywhere.  With a separate page for your blog, you can also keep your personal life on Facebook private.  Just remember to only publicize small excerpts on your page and include links back to your blog.  The goal is to always direct your audience to your blog.

How to create a Facebook Page for your blog:

  1. Go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
  2. Click on “Brand or Product“.
  3. For Choose a Category, select “Website
  4. Enter your blog’s name in the text field (ex. MyBlog or MyBlog Fan Page)
  5. Check “I agree to Facebook Pages terms” then click the “Get Started” button

Check out the Facebook page I set up for this blog.

3. Automatically publicize your posts on your Facebook feed

There are a variety of tools you can use to automatically publicize new posts on Facebook.  Whenever you publish a new post, these tools will put a few lines and an image from your post, along with a link to the full post, on your Facebook wall or on your Facebook Page.  Instructions on how to do this with the major blogging platforms:

  • For WordPress.com users, the Happiness Engineers included the instructions in an article on Publicizing.
  • Typepad also includes tools for publicizing on Facebook.  You can read about it on their blog.
  • For Blogger, self-hosted WordPress.org, or other platforms that do not have Facebook sharing tools, I recommend using a simple Facebook application called Networked Blogs.

4. Facebook ads

If you want to invest some money into promoting your blog, you can create a Facebook ad. With 800 million people on Facebook, you will reach a very broad audience with a relatively small investment. I have to admit that I have not tried this myself, but my blog is not a business nor a part of my business.  If I were using my blog to sell a product or service, I would consider investing in a Facebook ad.  For more information, see the Facebook ad page.

Share Your Experiences

Please share your experiences with sharing your blog on Facebook in the comments below and feel free to share a link to your blog’s page on Facebook.  We would also love to hear about any tips or tricks you discover along the way.

    For those on self-hosted WP blogs, you can add a fb like button through the Jetpack plugin. Jetpack is a must if you want stats and shortcodes anyway, and it gives you the same sharing options that WP.com does.

    I also use dlvr.it to automatically post to Facebook (and Twitter, actually). I like it better than Networked Blogs, as NB puts that little bar at the top of your screen whenever you click the link.

    Great post!

      Thanks so much, Amanda. The other plugins I had read about seemed complicated to install. Are the two you suggested easy to install?

      Reply

      • Amanda Says:

        Jetpack is easy to install, especially if you already have a WP.com account (you just connect everything by logging in using your WP.com account and you get all the WP.com features).

        dlvr.it is a website, not a plugin. It was easy enough to use.

    • novalibrarymom Says:

      Thanks, Amanda, for posting this! I’m not a fan of Networked Blogs, and dlvr.it was new to me. Just added it, though, so we’ll see how it goes!

      • Amanda Says:

        Hope it works for you! I basically just set it up to automatically post to Facebook (and Twitter) and haven’t had to go back since. But you can also schedule tweets with dlvr.it

    I have a Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/perogiesandgyoza and unlike it but it is changing to the timeline format soon. I was wondering what everyone is doing for their blog page cover photo. Should I put in my header or what should I do?

    I have added the like buttons to my two blospot blogs! Thanks! I was looking for this! They are now below every post 🙂 Now I only need to find one for twitter and pinterest.

    For my Dutch girly blog that I co- write with a friend I am considering to make a facebook page for the blog, but my other blogs I just publish on my personal facebook page. I use feedreader for this. It does twitter too, so my posts get automatically posted on facebook.

    I typed a longer comment but I had to login and then it ate it..? 😦

      Your first comment wasn’t eaten, it was just awaiting moderation since I have comment moderation on this blog. Hmmm… that’s something I should check – make sure that commenters are told that their comment is awaiting moderation. Anyway, thanks for doing this challenge and that it has been helpful for you 🙂 Thanks for the suggestion for feedreader!

    Thank you for this mini-challenge! 😀 My blog has a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ChachicsBookNook) because I like keeping blog-related stuff separate from my personal profile (and I’m pretty sure my real life friends appreciate that). I had no idea I can set my WordPress posts to automatically be posted on my Facebook page, I thought it only had the option to post on my personal page. So it wasn’t until I saw this informative mini-challenge that I decided to link WordPress the the Facebook page. Yay, no need to manually post links for every new post.

    Happy Bloggiesta!

    Thank you for this!!!! I was able to do step 2 and 3. I set up a Facebook page and then set it up through Networked Blogs for it to automatically post to the FB page. Fun! I can’t figure out how to add the button to the posts…maybe my blog partner can do that!

    I have Networked Blogs, which adds my posts to FB … and I love the new format! I used my header from my blog for the FB page. It worked out well!

    Thank you so much! I wanted to put a Facebook “Like” button on my posts, Since I use Blogger at the moment, anyway, I followed the directions for Mad Tomato and they worked. The only thing I’m not sure about is when I did a test post, the “Like” button showed but it said next to it, “8 people like this. Be the first of your friends to…” I don’t know why it said 8 people! But the “Like” button is there and can be clicked!

    Thank you, Liza!!

      Once everything is synced, it will automatically put a small excerpt from your blog post, an image (if you have one) and a link back to the post on your personal or your blog’s Facebook page timeline (depending on what you set up). It’s automagic 🙂

    I really struggled getting the like button to work. It just wouldn’t show up and when it finally did it was in the wrong place. After a long time I managed to get it close to where I want it. So that is good enough for now. I already had a page but it wasn’t working so I fiddled with that. I still don’t understand the auto feed. I have Network Blogs but I guess I need to figure it out. Regardless, I can post from my blog to facebook so it works out anyway. Thank you for the help.

    I created a fan page for one of my blogs, and linked it to the blog’s feed with Networked Blogs, so hopefully that will make the FB like button work. I’m going to try it out tomorrow–in the past it didn’t do anything.

    I found just one problem and that was connecting my page to my blog (I’m on wordpress) I found I had to disconnect then re-connect for wordpress to find my page.

    Certainly it was easier and quicker than I had anticipated.

    I really like how clearly you lay everything out with such helpful links. I noticed wordpress had added more “share” options since I’d first set them up: like Pinterest, Google+, and Tumblr. Was glad I checked that.

    I very recently built a FB page. I decided to do it, so as to not inundate my uninterested friends with book-stuff, and I can link more interesting posts/reviews for my non-twitter friends. I need to work on the page look more though..sigh.

    thanks for this very helpful post!

    I wanted to add that my favorite tool for getting my blog posts sent to twitter and facebook is a website called http://www.twitterfeed.com. It does all the work for me to get the post where ever I want it to go. Its pretty awesome.

    Thanks for this challenge. I only did the first part, i.e., add a Facebook Like button. I thought I had one, but it was a facebook share button. In WordPress, it turned out you can change these buttons in the settings, so now I have the “official” buttons and I made sure you can also see them when you’re on the home page – earlier you could only see them if you were on the page for the actual post.

    Thanks, I’m very happy with this improvement.

    Here’s my Facebook page for my blog. It’s sort of like a companion page. I share tons of giveaways that I find as well as post reminders about local events and share other more random info that I wouldn’t make into a blog post. I also share links to my blog posts, via the FB share buttons at the bottom of each post. I used to have it set up through FB for my blog to automatically post to FB, but it made the posts into notes and it wasn’t attractive at all. So now I do the share instead. I’m about to look into networked blogs though.
    As part of Bloggiesta I added the FB like button into my site’s HTML. It now appears at the bottom of each post next to the “pinit” button.
    Thank you for you post and mini-challenge! This is my first Bloggiesta and it’s going really great!

    One very important thing you have unfortunately left out. I have a personal facebook account, under my real name. My blog is not under my real name. I created the facebook page & unfortunately selected the option for the page only, as in didn’t have an existing facebook account, because I don’t have one for the “name” I use on my blog. Because of this, I now cannot link my blog to facebook because I don’t have a personal account for that name….You cannot currently link wordpress blogs to facebook pages which don’t also have a person attached to them & I can’t create a personal account for that “person” because facebook now says I already have an existing account for that name.

    Reply

    • Liza Says:

      I am so sorry! That is certainly not a case that I had considered. I didn’t even think Facebook would let someone set up a page without an account. Have you tried contacting WP support about connecting to a Facebook page directly without a personal account?

      Reply

      • Audrey D Wilkerson (@InkandPage) Says:

        Originally you could not make a fan page without having an account. Are you sure your fan page is not connected to your personal page? You would know by looking at your account settings. Also, if you are on your personal page, at the top of the screen should be a drop down box next to “Home.” Look there and see if your fan page appears there. There’s a thing called Networked Blogs that has a facebook app that you can use to tie your blog to your personal account. You have to have 4 or 5 people follow you to prove this is your blog. Let me know if this works?

      • Ceinwenn Says:

        That’s ok, I suspect it’s one of those things that until it happens you have no reason to consider it happening. Unfortunately, you can’t currently do it unless there is a person on the end of the page! WordPress will not let you link it to facebook that way. In the end I had to delete the page I had created, log in as the real me & create the page for my blog as the real me, hoping against hope that it would not link it to my profile (I like my anonynmity, or the persona that exists on my blog). Luckily it worked. The page exists on facebook & you cannot tell that it is linked to the “real” me.
