Facebook Landing Page for 2012
Facebook Landing Pages are confusing to say the least. Facebook is constantly changing, keeping page owners on their toes to stay up to speed. This video is two days in the making, worth of research and testing so you’re not banging your head against a wall, figuring this stuff out.
While there are services that will build a facebook landing page for you, you might be a do it yourself kinda person or not have the cash to have a landing page made professionally. This video is for you. I’ll guide you through 11 steps to get it done. Plus I’ve created a stripped down WordPress theme to use for your Facebook Landing Pages and included a text version of the steps. Enjoy!

Does a matching website/facebook theme sound awesome? Like a little mini version of your website right in facebook where visitors can shop, sign up, read about you – anything you can do in WordPress. I thought so! So I created one especially for my visitors for a very low price of $14 until the end of January. Snag it today before the deal is gone!Check it out Here!
Trisha,
Thank you for the awesome relevant content so clearly explained.
Your presentation is in a class by itself. It is one of the most user friendly trainings I’ve seen online.
Louis
woo hoo, thanks Louis!
Thaaaanks! I actually spent some time figuring out how to do this properly with no success.
The latest problem for me was “how to find your app after u created it”
So, um, ye… thanks again! U rock
Thanks Alex! It does get frustrating when youre trying to do something and they keep moving information, taking away features, etc etc etc… So glad to be able to help!
Haha, true true! FB updates and changes r so frustrating. >.<
Aaanyway, greetings from Lithuania ;D
So frustrating that so many developers abandon their fb projects, so its even harder to find anything that works. Hey back atchya from Chicago!!!
1). Would Flicker work for a much simpler picture hosting to use in your welcome tab? I mean use the simple image URL that goes “Http://”, and then creating the secure one just by adding “s” – “https”, to the link?
2). Do u have any experience in FB tab creating like in “FBML”? I need to create a tab, lets say that it will have two links to two gyms (just for example, one is in Chicago and another is in NY). So one or another link should open the details inside the FB window for the specific gym.
How could I do it? Create a page on his website server and then link it in the FB app? OR any other way?
I hope i made it clear, and u got some ideas
Im not sure if flickr would work because it really needs to be on a secure server. I believe the reason for 2 urls is because some people on facebook are seeing secure sites, others are not. I tested with both secure and non secure urls. I could see some content, friends of mine couldnt. Id say give it a shot, then ask around to see if other people see your image.
I havent tried FBML, if you look in your apps on your page, the FBML app is still there, so I think it might still work. Since html/iframes is much easier(?) they might be phasing that app out… you never know with facebook.
Hm… Ok, I will try some random image from Flicker on my experimental fan page.
I will let u know if it works.
About the FMBL and iFrames and so on… as I remember u cant change the icon of the tab, or maybe I just dunno how to do it.
From the info I have seen ATM on pages like Asus or etc, it seems that everything is linked to a mini site created specifically for FB purposes, or in other cases to a company server that specifies in FB Page/Tab creating.
So I guess creating a mini site to host the content is the only option if u dont like iFrames stuff. The main benefits are that u can link everything in a proper HTML way with your desired icons and so on.
heres how i would do it. Create a minisite with all the info you need to show. Everything will fit in that 520px wide box. Create one main index page and all the subsequent pages like you would any other website. Then link the app to your index page.
You CAN change the icon in your tab. In your fb app, right below the name theres an upload button. Yes, thats exactly how to do it. create a site like you would any other site, making sure it fits that width constraint – or – like you said go with a service that lets you build facebook tabs.
