Facebook Branding: Personal Branding Requires Facebook Setting

If you have been using video branding (and who isn’t?), to set yourself apart from the crowd- then you probably have noticed, when you post to your FaceBook page, that not all your friends and fans are seeing them.

I think you’ll all agree that we have worked too hard to acquire our friends and fans to be leaving them unaware of our offerings.

FaceBook friends have been circulating a tip that I thought would be a benefit to all of you:

Have you noticed that you are only seeing Facebook updates in your news feed from the same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and everyone else seems to be ignoring you?

Don’t worry, everyone still loves you and nobody has intentionally blocked you. The problem is that a large chunk of your friend list can’t see anything you post and here’s why:

The “New Facebook” has a news feed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people who you’ve recently interacted with or interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile). So in other words, unless your friends commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa – you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!

HERE’S THE FIX: On the homepage click the “Most Recent” title on the right of the Facebook Newsfeed, then click on the drop down arrow beside it and select “Edit Options”, click on “Show Posts From” and change the setting to “All Of Your Friends and Pages” (you can also access the “Edit Options” link at the very bottom of the facebook homepage on the right)

The good news is: now you can now view all of your friends and fans again. The bad news is: YOU ARE STILL INVISIBLE to a large portion of your list. You must get the word out to ALL of your friends and fans they can read the post and adjust their settings.

You can put this message on your Facebook  page by sharing it here with the Share button below, tweet about it here, bookmark this  blog post or send out an email (a video hopefully) in hopes of reaching them all.

If you haven’t made the leap to video branding yet, and know it is time, you can check out the tools that we are currently using by attending a Live Video Broadcast that showcases the video branding tools.  Contact Us.

I hope this helps keep you in touch with all your friends and fans.
