More Facebook Timeline Tips for Business Pages
Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income blog is just one of the numerous helpful resources we provide for bloggers in our home based business e-book, Income Anywhere! The book addresses many ways other than blogging to supplement or replace your income while working from home, but I digress.
Shortly after I updated our Team Agreda Facebook Page, Pat published his comprehensive how-to guide to Timeline for Facebook Pages complete with instructions for adding custom HTML tabs, code snippets, and this tutorial video describing how to replace the landing pages which Facebook no longer supports…
Pat included an informative overview of the new admin panel and a helpful Photoshop template for creating vital images, along with a few other specific tutorial videos in his guide – including how to integrate YouTube and Twitter – so be sure to check it out before updating your own Facebook Timeline Page.
I had not yet watched Pat’s videos when I wrote about how to create a custom Facebook Timeline Page, so I thought I’d share a few of the important steps I implemented when updating the various Facebook pages we maintain.

Add a website link to your About info.
Add a link to your Facebook page About info.
One of the most important things you can do to help drive traffic from your Facebook page to your website is to include a link in your About info. If your page is for a local business, the About excerpt on your page will be populated with your location and hours by default. Page admins can click the About area to edit the Basic Information section of their profile settings.
To include brief details about your business, with a link to your website – instead of your location and hours – change your category to Companies and Organizations or something else applicable. Then edit the About field with a brief description of what you do and include the URL for your website, it will automatically be converted to a hyperlink. Be sure to preview your page and edit accordingly as the excerpt will get truncated to 150± characters.
Add an RSS feed to your blog.
The Tradable Bits app is an easy way to add a News feed – or various other tabs – to your Facebook page. This app is free to use, but you are limited to only four tabs per page. You can upgrade to create more tabs and access enhanced features. To add any RSS feed to your Facebook Timeline, select the News app and publish it to your page. Enter your feed URL, and that’s it! Then you can follow Pat’s instructions for changing the tab’s image.
Preview your feed by clicking the app tab. Or, click the small pencil icon to edit settings. Note: You must expand the apps area to show all tabs before accessing the edit icon. Consider changing the tab name to your blog domain, if it’s short, or something like “Latest News” and your Facebook fans can always see your recent blog posts and click through to your site to read more.
Offer fans an incentive to like your page.
Facebook App Tabs with Edit Icon
You can use the Tradable Bits “Exclusive” tab or the Static HTML app Pat recommends to show “fans only” content to those who have liked your page. Since Pat provides detailed steps about how to do this in his tutorial, I’ll just describe how we used the latter app and some basic HTML to offer an Income Anywhere! coupon code for our Facebook fans. We used this same method to promote a coupon code for our Tripawds e-book.
- Install Static HTML app on page.
- Click tab to enter HTML for promoting your offer in the first box.
- Enter your coupon code or other hidden incentive details in the fans-only content area.
- Click the preview link for both fans and non-fans, then save your changes.
- Visit your Facebook page and edit the tab settings to change the name and image.
Use the “link to this tab” URL when promoting your page and you have yourself a default landing tab for your Facebook Timeline Page!

Fellow snowbirds Kim and Sam had this to say…
“I want to thank you and Jim for the wealth of information your ebook contains! Wow! Even though I’ve read quite a few of the books you’ve mentioned, I see I have a lot more to read. You’ve also introduced me to a lot of websites that I didn’t know about… I’m only about halfway through your book but already it’s been a help!”
— Kim
When Nina from Wheelin’ It dropped by for a tour of Slab City last month, we asked her for an honest opinion about our e-book and here’s what she recently had to share with her readers …
“…it’s a neat little resource for various easy and accessible ways to make money on the road. Interested in monetizing your blog? Or selling crafts online? Or freelance writing? Or workamping? The book will give you good, basic info on how to start looking at each. This is a quick read and contains a ton of links so I look at it as more of a reference/resource book than anything else.”

Are you ready for Timeline?
To be honest, I was never a big fan of Facebook, but with the number of Facebook users quickly approaching 1 Billion, resistance is futile.

After launching our home-based marketing business, we realized the importance of reaching the largest online audience and created the LiveWorkDream Facebook page. (Be sure to like it for your Income Anywhere e-book coupon and free sample chapter!)
After creating a custom fan-gated landing tab to reveal a coupon code and free sample chapter download link for fans who liked our page, I was concerned about this notice you may have seen if you have a Facebook page for your business…
On March 30, 2012, all Facebook Pages will get a new design. Preview your page now to see what it looks like and try out the new features.
— Facebook Pages Notice
I was even more alarmed to discover that people will always see the Timeline view of our page when they visit it…
You can’t change the default landing view to another view or app…
— Facebook Help Center (Apps On Pages)
[sigh] So, I took the advice of the powers that be and turned on the Preview mode to see what our page would like like with the new Timeline and find out if our custom HTML app would still work. Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think! No, you won’t see our old default landing tab anymore, but you can still access the app and you will notice a pinned post linking directly to it.
After adding a cover photo, updating our profile picture so it didn’t get cropped off, and configuring the tabs to my liking, I decided to publish the new page ahead of schedule. I suggest you do the same for your Facebook page before the end of the month when Facebook will make the switch for you. Consider these steps I took to reach a happy compromise with the new Pages format:
How to Make Custom Facebook Timeline Page
1. Visit your page and click the preview button.
This will allow you to make changes using the new tools available and preview your page with the new style before publishing it for others to see. Click the “Learn More” button to find out what the new Facebook Page changes mean for your brand or organization.
2. Add a cover photo.
The Facebook Help Center states that cover images must be at least 399 pixels wide. Don’t believe it. Follow this advice and your photo will be enlarged, degrading the image quality. Create your cover image at 851 pixels wide to avoid resizing. Once uploaded you will be able to drag the image for preferred positioning within the maximum height area of 315 pixels.
Note that your profile picture will hide a portion of the lower left section of the Cover image and that there are certain restrictions. Cover photos may not contain:
-
Price, purchase or sale information
-
Any contact details intended for your page’s About section
-
References to Like or Share your page, or any other Facebook features
-
Any calls to action, such as “Free Download” or “Tell your friends”
New Facebook Timeline Page App Tabs. Up to 12 are allowed.
3. Test your Apps and configure your tabs.
Wondering where the “Edit Page” button went? Click the new Admin Panel button to expose new likes, messages and other notifications. Use the “Manage” drop-down menu there to access and edit all the settings for your page as usual.
As the Page admin, however, you can sort the order of tabs and edit app settings by expanding the row of tabs and clicking the small edit icon for each app. Up to twelve apps can be added to a page and four tabs will always display on the first row. The Photos app will always appear first, and the Map app can only be removed by unchecking the box to “Show Map Location” in the Basic Information section of your Page settings.
Your page tabs will appear empty if you do not have any apps installed. So I chose to use the RSS News tab for Pages from TradableBits to show the latest posts from this blog and our LiveWorkDream RV lifestyle blog on two of our tabs. I originally used the Static iFrame tab app to create the custom HTML page we are using to promote our new Income Anywhere! home based business e-book and it appears to be fully compatible with the new Timeline view.
4. Pin a link to your favorite App.
While you can no longer create a custom default landing tab for your visitors, you can link people directly to a particular view or app on your Page. Find the URL for the app you want to highlight on your Page in the web address bar of your browser when you visit that app. Use the sharing tool at the top of your Page’s timeline to create a post that links people to your app, and draw attention to the post by pinning it to the top of your Page.
TIP: Clicking the “Highlight” icon for a post on your page will expand the post to fill both columns of your Timeline, however, you cannot highlight a pinned post.
