How to Share Your BookBuzzr AuthorPage Widget on Your Facebook Fan Page

 

Check out the latest version of the AuthorPage Widget here

The first version of the BookBuzzr Widget worked flawlessly with Facebook. You simply clicked on the Facebook icon inside the widget, followed a few prompts and you’d have your book widget appearing on your Facebook profile. The instructions for this were presented in an earlier blog post.

Then Facebook changed the rules.

Under the new rules, your Facebook page cannot feature any widgets on your personal Facebook profile page.

So we’ve worked on a fix for this problem. And it works only on your Facebook Fan pages (aka public profiles … we’ll be using “the phrases public profiles and fan pages interchangeably.) All BookBuzzr Author Pro subscribers automatically get access to BookBuzzr’s AuthorPage Widget along with all of the other cool book promotion technologies such as the Hangman game, exposure in the CoverMatcher game on Freado.com and the Amazon Sales Alert tool.

Here are the steps to get your BookBuzzr AuthorPage Widget to work on your Facebook fan page (PLEASE NOTE: If you don’t have a Facebook fan page, please take some time to create a Facebook Fan page. This is going to become very important for all authors. Also, the rest of these steps will not work for you if you don’t have a Facebook fan page.)

If you don’t have a Facebook fan page, please follow the below steps to create a Facebook fan page:

  1. Login to your FaceBook Account
  2. Go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
     
     
  3. Click on ‘Artist, Band or Public Figure’.
  4. Choose category as Author.
  5. Enter the Fan page name.
