Facebook Changes: Log In as Your Page and Like Other Pages

Facebook changes again.  This time it's the “Login as your Page” option – it's gone.  But never fear, we can still do everything we used to do, it's just different.

Facebook definitely likes to change things up and it's not always for the better.  I personally liked the Login as your Page option because then it was very clear how you were acting on Facebook.

Now you have to pay attention to the small icon next to each post to switch back and forth.

I made a handy video of the changes here.

 

Here are some of the changes and how you do the things you used to do while you were logged in as your Page.

View your Page Home Feed by Click the Pages Feed

Before when you logged in as your Page you would click Home at the top to see the Pages you have Liked as your Page.

Now, you get to your Pages Feed by clicking View Pages Feed under your profile picture on the left sidebar.

 

 

Now your Pages Feed is showing but your profile picture is still at the top.  But your Page is “set” to comment on any of the posts there.  You can change the attribution by switching the icon.

 

Like Other Pages as Your Page

This has changed too.  You used to be able to just navigate to the Page while you were logged in and click Like.  But now, there are a couple of ways to do this:

• Click the “Like Other Pages” button and type in the Page name from your Pages Home Feed (see the image above)


• Navigate to the Page and click the 3 dots button to the right of the Like button and select Like as your Page from the drop down menu.

 

Then you just have to navigate to that Page and click “Save”

 

Comment on Other Pages as your Page

You don't have to Like another Page as your Page to comment on their Timeline or Posts, you can just navigate to that Page and switch the icon to your Page.

 

This also is the case for just commenting on Posts on their Page.

 

So there you have it.  I know it's irritating.  I'm cranky about it, too.  And there are extra steps involved.  I don't like extra steps.  But it's Facebook and it changes weekly.

What do you think?  Are you cranky too?  Share your comments below!

3 (Seasoned) Tips to Starting a Part Time Business as a Social Media Manager

One of my passions is helping people start a part time business as a social media manager.  Because that's how I started and I think it can be such a great way for moms (or dads) to stay home with their kids and provide some extra income to the family.

On our recent #SocialTalkLIVE video we talked about some of the keys to starting a part time business as a social media manager or consultant and working out of the home.  It's a challenge sometimes!

If you are not familiar with our SocialTalkLIVE show, we like to have a little fun.  It's Friday afternoon and we wear hats and wigs and get a little silly while talking about serious topics.

This week I was calling in from my family's house in Chicago and luckily I was able to borrow one of my mom's wigs – so now you know where I got it from.

Here are the major points we covered.

Tip #1 Understand your schedule and create your boundaries

When you have children at home and you are trying to work on the side, it's challenging.  I know when my kids were small, I only had nap times and some odd moments here and there to get things done.

So there was a lot of evening work and when I did have time, I had to be extremely focused at what I did.

A calendar management system helps.  Schedule your time and don't get distracted with other issues that crop up.  Also use good tools to help you save time.

Phyllis has a great system around using your Google Calendar to really focus your time called Timebliss.me.

Obviously when you are starting out part time, you can't get quite as much into your day.  But making your kids a priority first helps you focus on your own priorities later when you need to get things done.  I share a few stories about that in the video recording.

 

Tip #2 Figure out your niche and work in your passion!

When you niche you will naturally attract new clients.  We talked about 3 ways to niche:

• Industry – health care, authors, restaurants, etc.


• Platform – Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.


• Skill – social ads, image creation, blogging, analytics

One of our students from Social Media Manager School, Janet Kennedy, has done a great job niching into the Health Care business and focusing on social media.  She started her business part time and it has grown tremendously with a new podcast Get Social Health and she has become a real go-to expert in her field.

 

Tip #3 Work with people you love – especially since you have limited time!

Make sure you are working with the right customers who respect and appreciate what you do.  It's important to find the right clients as a social media manager since you have limited time.

If a client isn't a right fit for you, it's ok to say so.

We live in an exciting time.  We can create a business that fits our schedule, working from home, and being with our kids!  I wrote a post about why I do what I do – even with the late nights, some guilt, and some frustration – it's totally worth it.

 

 

Social Media Manager School is OPEN until April 14th!

And if you are looking for a great place to learn how to be a social media manager I highly recommend our online course that is now open until April 14th.  We open up the school twice a year and it's one of the best places on the planet to grow, start a business, and be with a fabulous group of 1000 other people doing the same thing.
