Are you looking for ways to boost your Facebook “likes” – off of Facebook? I was looking around and found a plethora of WordPress plugins – but they are had lots of tech hoops that I had to jump through — so I was on the hunt for something easier.

Here’s what I found — http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins

You can create a feed for your page, a way for blog guests to register through their Facebook account, collect fan page “likes” on your blog – and much more. Its not too hard – but you will need to be able to add “image” code into your site or FBML code. Take a look at the page, there are lots of instructions.

Are you an author with book trailer(s)? You should check out this FB group — http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=126183500747007 .

If you don’t have trailers for your book(s) – you should check out my latest book, its all about using Web 2.0 and Social Media to promote and there are 2 chapters about book trailers – including over 1200 free or low price resource links – many for pictures and music for trailers – http://bookpromotionservices.com/books/book-promo-201/

Below this video, I’ve included the detailed table of contents for the book trailer chapters.

I’ve had a good number of people comment to me that this book is easily worth the cost – just to have all the free and low cost resources that I share — there are over 1200 resource links and over 90% are FREE.  Almost every idea that I share in this book is free – this book is ideal for the budget conscious author or business that wants to use the internet to promote their product or service.

They all wok well – but I highly recommend the YouTube Blaster program – I’ve switched from Tube Toolbox to YouTube Blaster and am very happy with the way it performs – check this link for more info http://bookpromotionservices.com/blaster/

I got an email from Kathleen Gage over the weekend as a follow up to a program I was in with her. At the end of the message she included some great links to videos to help people learn more about Facebook and it seemed like great information to share here. So, I’m including the links below. Feel free to let me know which one you think helped you the most :)

Have you noticed that the “page” layouts on Facebook have been changed and they look much more like the profiles? There was an old guide for the old pages – but this is the link for an updated page guide for Facebook – www.facebook.com/advertising/FacebookPagesProductGuide.pdf

What will you do with your new “page”? You can also add a Twitter feed to your profile and to your individual pages – to keep FB visitors up to date on what you’re tweeting about :)

Add Twitter to Your Facebook Page -

Go to http://apps.facebook.com/twitter/ and click to add the application to your “page”. You can then choose which page or pages you want to add the application to – then when you post updates on Twitter, they will be posted to your Facebook “page” too.
