[Editors] My FB Inquiry

Tue May 13 16:00:46 EDT 2014

Hi Gayle (et al), 

I’d be willing to meet with you and walk you through how to manage a Facebook Page for an organization. Please email me directly and we can find a time to talk. 

In general, a Facebook Page is different from a Facebook profile. That means you can’t tag people in a post, although you can tag them in a comment if they’ve already commented on that post. You can tag any other Facebook page, though. 

I can also help you (or anyone on this list) with integrating your Facebook marketing into your overall communications so that it’s not just “another thing to do,” but rather something that adds to the value of your work. 

Let me know how I can help. My information is in my signature. :-) 

Best, 

Stephanie

So far, I've been administering the page, which has a few other pages under it relating to various wings of our program. However, I don't find an option to look up friends or other external pages, or import contacts, but rather just have to wait untill others see and like my page so I can have the opportunity to see and like anything posted in the feed.

As I didn't create these pages, I'm very frustrated about finding their root and need some help with managing it and using it the the best productivity in communicating the mission of my organization. Right now, all I can do is post and like stuff, but I can't target any individual or mention anyone in any post, or even find other cool pages to like and post to, which I can do as an individual through my own personal FB account. When I ask the general FB help desk q/a section, it tells me that I'm in the "grey" and that I must do my login (as a person I presume) before posting the question. Of course, this is the very issue I'm facing: How do I get "un-grey"?
