Tips & Tricks
Publisher & Wall: Use the Publisher on the Wall tab to post an update about an
upcoming tour, album release or your thoughts on a new song. Upload behind the
scenes videos or photos from a video shoot or create a tour diary using Notes.
Favorite Pages: Use Favorite Pages
to call attention to the other public
profile on Facebook that you care
about, such as other artists who have
inspired you, your new perfume or
clothing line or other public figures or
brands you care about.
Share, Like and Commenting: Remind users to participate on your public profile. The
more that people share, like or comment on your content the wider distribution you will
receive through News Feed. Be sure to post engaging, relevant content at a pace that is
steady without being overwhelming to your fan base.
Targeted Updates: In addition to News Feed distribution, you can send targeted
updates to the people connected to you about upcoming live shows or ticket promotions
in their geographic area.
