A shoutout to my bud Chris Stone from Rock Solid Media for suggesting today's blog topic: integrating SendLabs on your Facebook fan page.
So here's the scenario: you are like one of the many companies out there with a fan page on Facebook...like you should if you have a product that helps provide engaging content in our expanding social media world. You also have a thriving email marketing program and are eager to add new subscribers however you can. You think, "Hmmm...how can I get people to sign up on my fan page?" Thankfully, there's an easy way to do it with no muss and no fuss. Lucky you!
(If you want to avoid reading and/or want to hear my hypnotic voice, just look for the imbedded video below or click here. Just make sure your Flash is updated first.)
- Go to your page and hit Edit Page (under your main image on the left hand side).
- Scroll down to Static FMBL under Applications. Click and 'Add To My Page' when the popup window gets all up in your grill.
- Go back to your page, hit 'Edit Page' again and look for FMBL. Click the editing icon at right and click 'Edit'.
- Cut and paste the code from your Subscription form you've already created in your SendLabs account. (You did this already, right?)
- You're all good to go. Just like that. Simply rearrange everything how you'd like and you're good to collect email.
Now when your boss complains about your Facebook usage, tell 'em you're working. I'll totally vouch for you.
Hey look...a video!
