DIY Basic Facebook Page Set-up Webinar

February 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Can’t Afford $200+ for a Facebook Business Page? What About $9.99?

I know times are tough, and there are still plenty out there unemployed and starting their own businesses. It gets overwhelming with everything you need to learn and/or pay for.

So for the next few months, I’m paying-it-forward. Rather than charge my usual fee, I’m going to host a webinar where I walk you through how to set-up your own Basic Facebook Page.

You’ll need to have the following BEFORE the webinar:

  • Vertical logo 180 pixels wide x 540 pixels high
  • Minimum of 5 photos of your product(s), service(s) or portfolio
  • About content (i.e., business phone, email address, company description, etc.)

Date & Time:

The webinar is: Thursday, February 16th, 2012 at 11:00 am PST

Pay $9.99, if you sign up before Valentine’s Day (2/14/2012).

Pay $14.99, if you sign up after Valentine’s Day.

I’ll also show you where you can get a FREE Welcome tab template!

Sign up on my registration page: Webinar Registration Page

If you have any issues with the registration form, contact me through my contact form. Check “Other” under “Interested in”, and in the box, type in your issue.

Thank you, and see you online!

Here's an Alternative to the Issues with NetworkedBlogs on Facebook

September 15, 2010 By 7 Comments

Earlier this year I was using NetworkedBlogs for all of the blog feeds on mine, and my clients Facebook pages.

Around July it stopped working. I posted the issue several times on “Get Satisfaction” only to be told it’s something I was doing or had done wrong. This would be true if I had changed anything in the previous blog feeds that were working, but I hadn’t.

I decided to search for another app since my clients feeds needed to be active, and couldn’t afford the downtime that was occurring. I finally found RSS Graffiti. I’ve been testing it since end of July, and I love it. I’ve now migrated all my blogs to it. The “dashboard” is fantastic too!

Check it out here: http://apps.facebook.com/rssgraffiti/

I tried posting this solution to the hundred or so others that are having the same problem, only to have it deleted twice. Their reason was “Not a question to NB.” This would have made perfect sense had I not posted it to the Solutions category.

It’s never a best practice to delete consumer posts, especially when they’re listed in the proper category.

Hope this helps, it helped me. :)

How-to Upload A Vertical Facebook Page or Profile Picture

July 11, 2010 By 31 Comments

If you’re still having a problem uploading your image, photo or picture to your Facebook profile or page, after reading my previous post “Posting Vertical Pictures, Images or Photos in Your Facebook Profile or Pages“, follow the steps below and you should be all set.

Why am I still getting that error when my image is under 180 pixels wide or 540 pixels high?

I tried to upload my father’s logo (image dimensions 99 pixels wide by 476 pixels high), and it didn’t work! I received the same error as before:

“Upload Failed: Your picture is too tall or too wide. Try to pick something closer to a square.”

99 x 476

So I researched some more and found, in Facebook Help, that profile photos cannot be three times taller, than they are wide:

“If you are having trouble adding or changing your profile picture, please note that you cannot upload a photo if it is more than three times as tall as it is wide.

So, I divided the length of my father’s logo by three and made it that width.

Incorrect logo size for Facebook Profile and Pages

I uploaded it, and it worked! See my father’s Facebook Page here: On Call Auto Service Facebook Page. You can see the white-space where the logo is wider than it was designed. (Edit: I changed his logo to what you see now, but you can view the example I mention here in his Profile Photos album.)

You can view my logo here: My Facebook Business Page

So as long as you keep your image within the above dimensions and ratio, you’ll be all set!

Hope this helps! I have spent days researching this, and spent about 3 hours again yesterday. I’m so happy I found the solution!

If you’d like some help getting your Facebook page or profile picture freshened up or would like some advice on other ways to improve you social media efforts feel free to contact us we’d love to help!

Posting Vertical Pictures, Images, or Photos in Your Facebook Profile or Pages

July 10, 2010 By 2 Comments

I’ve been going loony trying to upload my logo (200 px by 600 px), and client logos, to our Facebook Pages unsuccessfully. Nothing I tried worked!

I finally found this blog post – Making the most of your Facebook page profile picture – which proved to me that images, picture, photos, and logos with the 200 px by 600 px dimensions, were still being uploaded. There was obviously something some of us were missing, and here it is…

If you’re trying to upload the above dimensions, and are getting this error:

“Upload Failed: Your picture is too tall or too wide. Try to pick something closer to a square.”

It’s because Facebook no longer allows images to be 200 pixels wide by 600 pixels high. The new dimensions are 180 pixels wide by 540 pixels high, which was changed May 3, 2010. You can find this on their developer site, under Developer Roadmap, which states:

“We’re changing the size of the largest profile picture to 180 pixels wide by 540 pixels high (down from 200 pixels by 600 pixels).”

It worked! You can see a sample here: KMBurck Facebook Page

And now, I’m going to relax, knowing that Monday I can upload my client logos without issues!

Please let me know, in the comment section, if this helped or if you need any assistance.

Thank you, and have a GREAT weekend!
