Thanks for your note Kristine. Anyone who installed the Static FBML app on their Fan Page before March 11 can continue to use it (until Facebook decides otherwise), but it may be a good idea to explore switching to iFrames to take advantage of increased functionality. Here is some additional information about creating custom content for Fan Pages: http://bit.ly/gMupxm

Best,

I agree that facebook \like\ or fan pages are integral to promotion of your book or business. It is separate from your personal profile and gives you another \reach\ to the facebook audience.

Recently, as of March 11, 2011 Facebook made changes for fan pages. No longer can you utilize FBML, now it is Iframe integration.

If you’d like, I can design a \like\ page for you.

If you’re planning on having more than one book (whether in a series or just different books by you), I STRONGLY suggest setting the page to reflect that. Having a page for every book is an exercise in cluttering up people’s interest and may cause them to lose interest.

For example, I’m writing a book, called Poo Bah. It’s a faerie tale/fantasy, and I honestly don’t think it will have any sequels. I’m not creating a page just for it, but rather for my writing ‘brand’ – this way, I can promote Poo Bah, and also the other books I work on, to the same set of fans. And when Poo Bah comes and goes, the page isn’t left or ignored.

It makes it seem more interactive.

Just my two cents.

Do you know if you already have a regular Facebook account, can you also sign up for a fan page to promote a book or character? I’m not clear on this.

thanks

[...] Promote Your Book on Facebook with a Fan Page: Of course, make it about them not you — just like successful social media users do. [...]
