How to set up Facebook notifications
Do you find yourself having to constantly check your Facebook business page to see if anyone has left a comment or posted to your wall? It seems like a bit of an oversight on the part of Facebook that, unlike a personal page, you receive no notifications of comments from fans.
But there is a solution to this oversight with a simple (and free) app called Hyper Alerts.
Just register with your contact information and the URL to your Facebook page, and choose the frequency of notifications, and hey presto - no more constantly checking your page for responses.
How to add a newsletter tab to your Facebook page
March 18 2011 – Important update to this post!
The Static FBML application that helped you create custom Facebook landing pages is being phased out. You will be unable to create new FBML applications. Check out this post from Spiderworking for further details of this change.
Do you routinely send out a newsletter to your subscribers? Do you have a Facebook Fan Page? Would you like to incorporate your newsletter with your FB page?
Follow my step-by-step guide to adding a newsletter tab to your FB fan page
Step One
1. Go to the Static FBML application (facebook markup language or FBML for short)
2. Click “Add to my Page”
Step Two
1. Click on “Edit Page“ on your own FB fanpage
2. Select manage applications
3. Click on FBML – ensure the tab setting is added
4. Under FBML click on “Go to Application”
Step Three
1. Add the html code that you would normally use on your website to the FBML box
2. Change the title to Newsletter
3. Save

Tip: You can use the static FBML widget as many times as you want to customise your Facebook fan page. Once you’ve added it to your page, simply go to “edit page”, then under Applications click “edit” under Static FBML. This will give you the options you need to paste in your code.
