All are thinking what will be the "Next Big" thing in the world of Facebook!!! What is the new feature that Facebook will give its users?

The No. 1 in "Social media", now has started a new experiment with a new button which is called as "Sympathize button". After "Like" and "Share" button now its "Sympathize" button. What exactly is this button of feature being created for? 

According to Facebook spokesperson, if any user wants to tag a status with a negative emotion, then the "Sympathize" button would automatically replace the "Like" button. 

Admin roles can be changed in Facebook fan page or business page as the need arises. For example, if you are a creator of any fan page, then you are the primary "Manager" of the fan page. This fan page may be created for your clients or for your own personal thing. 

One who is creating any fan page for others, then after getting some likes for that page, the page needs to be handed over to the client. In that case, the admin roles changes for that page. 

There are different types of roles while managing admin roles. 

• Content creator
• Manager
• Advertiser
• Moderator
• Analyst

As a "Manager" of the fan page, you can set anyone as the above admin roles.

As the role changes, their accessibility also changes. The below image will specify what actually is accessible in Facebook fan page according to your admin roles.


A manager is the main person of fan page. He has all the accessibility for doing things in Facebook. Like he can manage admin roles (which is only for him) , edit , create posts , create ads and view insights. Whereas other roles will not have all of these roles.

Their accessibility changes as set by the manager of the fan page.

If there is a need to change the admin roles or set any person as a manager or moderator or any other role, then follow the steps:

• In the Facebook fan page, click "Edit Page" 
  
• Now click "Manage Admin roles" option
• Type the name in the text field to add a person 
• Then click the down arrow to select the role of that person 
  

Now what role you have designated to the person added will have only permission to that role and cannot have all the options that a "Manager" has.

Think carefully before setting an admin role.

There may be situations when some friends who meet you personally have hurt you or may be you have hurt them. They may not show in Facebook as they are friends. But finding out who hates you or whom you hate in Facebook will show the real image of your friends face.

After many attempts of trial and error basis, some points do get remained for making "Fan Page" a success. The success of course depends upon the number of likes, posts made by members, frequency of engaging fans, the type of content, etc.

The success is descriptive. Content matters the most in any case whether it is a website or a blog or a fan page or even a status update that you make every day in your Facebook wall. If the content is interesting and engaging, people do come and read and wait for more updates from your side. 

Sometimes, if the content is most alluring, then some fans do "Bookmark" your fan page to know more about your pages. 

This all comes with experience and mainly the different techniques to make it a success. 

When you start any business, your first intention is not to earn money but to earn people. The fan pages have to be created "for the fans" and not for your purpose. Success will follow when more and more people visit your page for more interesting information. 

It may happen sometimes that even after many attempts, the fan pages don't accelerate as needed and the result happens to be a big "FAIL". 

This point is not for getting frustrated but to think more about how to bring more traffic to your fan page. For that some sort of "SEO" also is needed. This post mainly depends on this that "How to do SEO of Business Fan page"? Bringing all things in to my mind, I have made a list of 15 points for you to get through and enjoy a successful fan page. 

These were some of the points that every page owner should keep in mind while creating or promoting a fan page. Because after all you are creating fan page for viewers and not for your own self. 

We have discussed about creating Facebook Fan Pages, business pages, creating Static iFrame tabs, creating video contests, which mainly gave more exposure to the online world for your business. Taking it more forward, if people or your fan page fans are around your business location, then they will not be intimated through just business pages. For that you have to create "Facebook Places" in addition. 

 

In one of my posts earlier, I have mentioned about adding "Geo Location"  using Google Maps. But this will not intimate the visitors who are in the vicinity of your business location. 

 

If people are around your business location building, then using their mobile phone apps, your business details should pop up on their mobile devices. Using "Facebook Places" this is possible. 

In Facebook "Places"  is an application that allows location based feature on your iPhone and other smartphones. 

Not only for business but also you can see where your friends are by giving your real world location. 

Using this app, you can check in to the places. 

Moreover, for business if some events are upcoming then setting your location or places will bring in more public.

This post is mainly for business fan pages to set the location or the address of the business. Then using "Places" app, people will get notified about it when they are nearby you office or the exact location. 

Note that the details that you entered are correct and they will be updated in the system after few hours. 

So, when it is updated in the system of Facebook, the place or the location will be popped up on the users' iPhone when they are nearby or in the vicinity of your office or business. Using this they may visit the place and if you have set any event or offers, then they will really find that interesting to visit again and again. 

Videos and Photos make everything viral on Facebook. You must have taken your own example of uploading your own photo or video which got more likes and shares. Same trick applies for your Business fan Pages to make them popular.

To make any business page popular or successful, some tricky ways have to be applied. One of the main tricks that creates interest in your page visitors or viewers is "Video Contest". 

When it comes for promotion of business using Fan page in Facebook, lot of points and tricks have to be applied for doing so.

The promotion of the Facebook business page depends on most effective and important formats which are Photo contests, Video contests, surveys, sweepstakes, etc. Introduction of "Photo Contest" app was done in 2012 with the release of yet another similar app called "Video Contests". 




















What actually is "Video Contest" in Facebook? 


The fan page admins who have business pages want to engage their fans with some attractive offers and an opportunity to participate with brands on Facebook.

Video contests can be created with an app.

As "Videos" go viral, tricky way to promote any business page is to create a "Video Contest" for your fans and attract new fans."Video Marketing" is termed as the best way to promote your brand or business with correct arrangement of keywords, content and attractive offers for your visitors.


Why to create "Video Contests" in Facebook ? 

As stated above, videos go viral and termed as the best way to promote the business or brands. Think of an advertisement without their videos. Will you buy any product with the name and brand of the product just by seeing the label on it? Maybe the trust factor will be missing. That will be gained with the use of videos which will inform about the features of the product or brand.

In the similar manner, your brand needs exposure to more customers and to gain the trust of them the videos should be created. But the video contest factor or promotion technique will not only gain more visitors for your fan page but also engage them in the contest to win the "Special offers" decided by you.


Features of "Video contests" 

• Viral Social Sharing
• Integrated social response 
• Flexibility

Taking these points into consideration, lets get started for creating a successful "Video Contest" in Facebook.

When you use Facebook daily with other social media sites like Twitter or Pinterest, etc , then your online presence should be measured or judged with some online tools. 

These tools will report about how your Facebook posts are interacted, how they are popular, what others demand from your fan pages or posts, how frequently they check your updates or whether they like or share your posts or fan pages. The answers to all these questions will be given by some useful online tools to measure your online success as a businessman or entrepreneur or a user. 

 

 

I have made a list of some useful tools for you which will measure your online success in the field of "Social Media". 

Booshaka: This tool is mainly used for : 

Using this tool, you can easily find out the keyword that your fans use. Using that keywords you can engage them more into your fan pages. 

It also ranks your success. The tool provides you with the information about what your fans like on the selected topic and what they are finding for on Facebook. 

This toll provides you with the Facebook page ranking and real time stats.

You can compare the biggest fan pages by the category and sort by number of page likes and people talking about this. 

Monitoring of fans for maintaining fan pages and creating new ones. 

SocialMotus : Again a different type of tool for business related social media people. 

Using this tool, you can : 

• Manage Facebook account
• Monitor your brand
• Measure social media performance
• Track conversion rates

No doubt that you have "Facebook Page Insights" to examine the performance of your page and its fans who are engaged into your brand, but one who don't have the fan pages and who are just users need to know how to make their social presence more popular.

Hence these set of tools to keep them updated in their respective social fields.
