Okay, I’ve confessed before to making tons of mistakes in writing, publishing and social media. But, I keep on moving forward.
Although I sometimes feel as if I’m navigating an Internet minefield blindfolded.
- Set up too many email accounts.
- Opened 2 Facebook accounts.
- Thought I needed a personal one and one for writing platform. Not…
- Plus a professional page attached to one of them. Ugh…
- Twitter
- Set up not one, not two but three tweet managing programs.
- At last, I settled on Tweetdeck, but I’m sure the other accounts are still floating around in the great big worldwide web.
- Set up not one, not two but three tweet managing programs.
So why am I telling you all of this?
Because I’ve discovered as with most things less is more. And I’m starting with Facebook. So here goes.
- First, I’m deleting my “personal” Facebook account.
- Second, I’ll post on my Writer’s page and let it link to my “News Feed” home page.
- How? I’ve discovered a little tip. (Now don’t rain on my parade if you discovered this years ago.)
See here is the thing, if you write something on your Home/News Feed it doesn’t necessarily show up on your “Writers or Professional” page.
But here’s the good news. You can change your settings on Facebook so that whatever you write on your “professional” page and then the post will show up on both. That way no matter which one your readers click on they can see your comments.
Why would you want to do this?
Because by posting on your “Page” first instead of on Newsfeed/Home, you can schedule comments!
Yay, another tool to make life a bit calmer and easier.
As you can see, both look different.

Okay, now you can tell me. Is this old news?
Have you already synced your Facebook page with NewsFeed?
If not, are you ready to give it a try?
