Javascript-facebook-invite-likes-fan-page

I've posted before about a little trick whereby you can manually invite people who have liked your Page's Facebook posts to then like the Page. This manual method is explained in the video at the bottom of the article. But for a post with hundreds of likes that is an awful lot of scrolling and clicking. That's a nice problem to have because the post has clearly gone viral but it does take ages to action. Instead there is a little javascript hack you can use in Chrome which will do this ...

Can Facebook Pages join Facebook Groups?.

Posted on 25th October 20182nd November 2018 by Marie Page

I wrote an article earlier this year about how to post as a Facebook Page in your Facebook Group and have been inundated with questions since from people confused as to how you join a Facebook Group as a Page. https://thedigiterati.com/link-facebook-group-to-page/ Now what people have failed to figure out is that the functionality I was explaining was (and remains for most) only possible when you admin both the Page and the Group. It's not been helped by rumours that Facebook has opened...

How not to £@%!-up on social media!.

Posted on 24th September 201825th September 2018 by Marie Page

I've had a fun few weeks recently putting together a Digiterati Academy course and a masterclass comprised of social media #fails alongside guidance for social media policy development and staff training. There are a few screen grabs shared below. The internet is awash with examples of corporate PR fails including the likes of Habitat, McDonalds, Qantas, Nokia, Ryanair, the NYPD and Home Depot but it was trickier to track down personal social media mishaps that went on to affect the individua...

Employer and job title targeting is back for Facebook ads.

Facebook ad targeting by job title employer

The withdrawal last year of a number of key audience targeting options was hugely frustrating for many Facebook advertisers. We know of client companies that cancelled their Facebook ads altogether and some even jumped ship to LinkedIn. The good news is that Facebook has quietly bowed to pressure and reinstated them as options. We at The Digiterati did some AB testing for one client a year or so ago splitting a duplicate B2B campaign targeting by job titles and employers between Facebook a...

Facebook has jumped the shark.

Posted on 29th January 20184th February 2018 by Carlton Jefferis

Prediction: Facebook's engagement metrics slipped in Q4 2017 In little more than 24 hours my bold (foolish?!) prediction is either going to be proved right, or I'm going to look a right cock. Let me explain why this is a watershed moment for Facebook and digital marketers either way... Facebook is under the cosh. Big time. It cannot be disputed that poor Facebook is on a bit of a downer at the moment. In the past 12 months or so it's been through the mill... Fake news s...

Facebook Page cover photo data capture hack.

Facebook Cover Photo Email address data capture

Looking for a way of collecting email addresses for Facebook fans without using lead gen ads? You can use your Facebook Page cover photo as a data capture device. But I didn't realise Facebook cover photos were clickable? All photos on Facebook are clickable and when clicked users get to see whatever text information (and clickable links) you like about the picture. So create your irresistible offer (you know - the thing you will give away as a thank you for the email address) and create...

12 tips for local optimisation on Facebook.

Posted on 7th June 20178th June 2017 by Marie Page

I was asked recently to guest in the Location Station podcast. I love doing these guest interviews and always try to tailor what I present to the interests of the subscribers. So rather than simply talk about the Facebook algorithm (the topic I'd been asked to wax lyrical on) I decided to give some serious thought to local optimisation (because that's what Location Station is all about). Facebook's search engine is far from perfect. It needs all the help it can get. And users need rapid wa...
