Did you know that I Heart The Mart is also on Facebook? I am sure you did. But many of you are commenting that you can’t see me anymore. There have been so many changes on Facebook lately that you need to take a few steps to make sure that you don’t miss a great deal that I post. Facebook wants us as a “brand” to pay to have you guys see our posts.
I am just not going to do it, I feel like we are being held hostage by Facebook and held hostage from our readers seeing us and that is not right. I also post quick deals on Facebook that I don’t have time to get on the blog, also we have a lot of fun over there and FB shouldn’t keep you from seeing these deals!
One of the first things that you can do to make sure that you see me and your favorite sites is to comment and “like” posts, this helps get the page into your feed.
Then you just need to take a look at the following examples of 2 others things that you can do. They are easy and quick and just take a second.
First, make sure that you have “liked” I Heart The Mart, you can do that HERE.
Then go to where it says “liked” like you can see above and click the “Show in news feed” until you see the little check mark. This will make sure I am in your feed.
The more you comment and like posts on my blog and page, the more likely you are to see my posts. The higher your interaction, the more Facebook’s algorithm knows my Facebook page is something you want to see.
The other thing that you can do is add Facebook pages you want to view to an interests list. You can create brand pages into interest lists like on Twitter and Pinterest so you can view updates from those Facebook pages you want to see easily from your sidebar.
Just click that little button with the wheel looking thing and choose “add to interest list” then create a list like “coolest Facebook pages” and add me to it!
Hopefully this will help you find me again on Facebook, because I am really missing you all!
You definitely haven’t been showing up in my feed, which has irked me to no end. I’d already marked “show in news feed”, but will try the other tips to see if you show up again. Thanks, Paul!
