Social Media Marketing Boot Camp's New Blog!

Today in Boot Camp we will be discussing our fan pages. Here's a nice article from Mashable to help others get started on their fan page(s). And it's true, if you don't have one - you surely need one!

Although the information is accurate, this is a test post as I am working on tonight's curriculum for class. I will return later to expound on the topic of having a great fan page. So feel free to check back later.

Okay, so it's 11:31pm and I am back as promised. Tonight one of our focus topics was on the Facebook trend for 2010 - the Landing Page. Since your fan page really acts as an additional website, a place were perspective clients can go online and get insight into your business, it makes sense that it should have a professional welcome just as would your website. Traditionally on your fan page, that first impression page is your "wall". And for the most part, especially depending whats on your wall, that page may not be making a good first impression. Enter...the Landing Page.

The Landing page is a page that is totally customizable with Facebook's version of HTML, called FBML (but HTML is fine for writing the necessary code to create your page.) In this evening's call (hopefully recorded) we went through the steps one by one. Since I have not yet begun posting my own tutorial videos (and yes I will be soon), here is a link to a well explained video regarding the set up of your Landing Page. Have fun. We will talk more in the days ahead!
