Good news for those of us who like to layer our content in different channels. Facebook now allows the embedding of posts on your website and in your blogs.
This not only allows you to drive traffic to your Fan page, but it gives you a permanent URL for a post that you could use to direct people. Uses include a live chat, entering a contest or making an announcement to create buzz. Here’s a quick “how to” on embedding Facebook posts.
1. Post a status update your your Facebook Page.
2. From a desktop (currently not a mobile feature) hover your cursor over the upper right hand corner of the post until a downward arrow appears.
3. Select “embed post.”
4. Copy the code provided.
5. Place the code on your website wherever you want it to appear.
I ran a sample from our IO Creative Group Page at www.facebook.com/iocreativegroup and my page at www.facebook.com/prgurukim and the results appear below.
