Making Sure You See the Facebook Posts You Want to See

I just got the following message from the Worldwide Defense League and thought I'd pass it on to the rest of us:

The "New Facebook" has a newsfeed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people who you've recently interacted with or interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile).

So in other words, for both business and personal pages, unless your friends/fans commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa, you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!

HERE'S THE FIX: On the homepage click the "Most Recent" title on the right of the Newsfeed, then click the drop down arrow and select "Edit Options." Click on "Show Posts From" and change the setting to "All Of Your Friends and Pages" (you can also access the "Edit Options" link at the very bottom of the facebook homepage on the right).

Simply posting an update about it won't do any good because lots of your friends/fans already can't see your posts by default. You'll have to send out a message to everyone on your list or post it through a group like this one.

How to Re-Post Posts You Like

LET'S SAY YOU'RE a fan of Citizen Warrior on Facebook. And let's say Citizen Warrior posts something you want all your Facebook friends to see. There's an easy way to do this.

Go to the specific post you like, and notice the links immediately underneath that post. One of the links is "Share."

A window will pop up. In the lower right of that window is a little box that says, "Share." Click on that.

You're done. That post is now on YOUR page, and all your Facebook friends can see it.

How to Invite Your Facebook Friends to "Like" a Page

GO TO A page you like (one you are already a fan of) and look at the links right under the "profile picture" at the top left of the main page. You will see one of the links says "Suggest to Friends." Click on that link.

You will see all your Facebook friends. You can now just go through your friends clicking on whichever ones you want to get an invitation to "Like" the page that you like. When you're done, click the "Send Invitations" box.

That's it.
