2. Make sure the sharing is set to “public.”.

3. Copy the link and paste it in the”status” area as a tweet on Twitter.

4. Optional: add a description in the text field above the link and a short link back to your site.

5. Click “Post” to publish.

Sync your blog with your Facebook Page with Networked Blogs

Picture 10

Winter has arrived in the Sierra Foothills and being snowed/iced-in at my place has fostered a wonderful sense of stillness.  Between winter-wonderland walks, I have been working on my new music album and this valuable blog post on how to sync your blog with your Facebook Page.

Networked Blogs is an application developed for Facebook that pulls your RSS Feed from your blog on a regular basis, then posts a thumbnail image (if you’ve included one in your post) and an excerpt from your blog onto your Facebook Page Wall for all of your fans to see in their News Feed.  With this application, you can also follow other blogs on Facebook and invite people to follow yours.  It’s a great way to share your content with your Facebook fans and to drive traffic back to your website/blog.

Free Facebook tip: shorten your URL

facebook

Facebook Pages are an important piece of your overall social media marketing strategy.  With a Facebook page, you can publish your blog content to Facebook members who have subscribed to your page by becoming a fan.

If you don’t yet have a Facebook Page for your business, I suggest you make one yourself or hire someone to help you make one.  And once you have more than 25 FB fans, you can shorten your Facebook Page url.

Improving the world one post at a time,

-Catherine
