How to post on Facebook

Hello. Hello. Let's host on Facebook as a business page, shall we? Why not? So here I am in Facebook. I have come to a page that we have created and let's just go straight to Create Post here on the right hand side. Can you see, it's got a little drop down arrow which I had selected. And you can choose between posting directly on Facebook or using the Business Suite. So if we select in Facebook, you can see that this pop up looks very like normal Facebook, as though you were posting on your personal page. You can type something, you can add some images and it all just looks very familiar, right? I hope, I hope so. I hope it does. You can also add calls to action to your post here as well. For example, you know, whether you want people to contact you or you want to tag other people and stuff like that, it's all, it's all available here and you can do that in the text as well. But because this is a fairly familiar section of the page, what I'm going to do instead is have a look at the business suite because it's just a little bit more intense than posting straight onto your page. So what I've done is clicked on the Meta Business Suite prompt and we have opened a new page. So you can see it's got the page name here on the left hand side and it's done a mini version of your page here with notifications and your inbox. You can access it all from your Business suite page. It's useful also to become familiar with Business Suite because it's useful for scheduling. It's quite handy if you want to schedule natively. Natively means within the platform itself rather than using an external scheduler. So we'll click on Create Post here and it will open up another new page. So you can see you actually have the option of creating a post for maybe, but also with a connected Instagram feed as well. We haven't got Instagram connected for this particular page, but also that's deliberate because we don't want it to be confusing. So in the same premise that you would do Instagram for creating. A normal post, you pop your caption in here and can you see on the right hand side of my screen we've got a little preview up here. This is absolutely a fantastic tool. We'll come back to that in just a moment. I'm going to add in a photo, just a photo that we can use for the purposes of this exercise. It's also going to load in the preview and you can see how it would look on a desktop, but I want to see how it's going to look on a mobile phone. And here it is. Can you see that? So it's just got a post page name and hello maybe and an image below. So here in this middle section you can add your call to action. Again, you can ask, you can invite people to message you, you can add in links and you can still add in your activity or are you at a certain place to you tag in a location. You can also add further photos and videos. And she's here on the left hand side. Now I know that this might feel a bit bewildering and it's quite a. It's not necessarily the most instinctive scheduler to use. I totally understand that. And you may feel more comfortable using an alternative scheduler like the one that we have in maybe, but this is just to cover all bases really. We will show you how to use that scheduler in a different video. But in a nutshell, this is how to schedule using Facebook. Lastly, before we hit publish, you can choose whether to save your post as a draft or schedule your post. We're going to hit schedule now and choose a date. Let's go with 22nd of April and then click on the. Clock and I will type in 15 no, not 0515. It doesn't like me to do that. And then you could also select optimal times as well for your post. So that in a nutshell is that I'm just going to hit publish now to take the page and publishing your post. It's going to take a moment and here we are. We can see it scheduled. That's it. I hope that was helpful. If you have any questions, please do click your blue button in main V because we're there 247 and we love to help.
