Be
sure you read the previous articles about setting up a Facebook account
and setting up a Facebook Page.
Because
you want members to access your Facebook Page, make sure you publicize
it. Include the URL in your newsletters, announce at meetings, and put it
on most documents.
But
most importantly, put a link or even two on your website. If you construct your
website using Weebly, you can link to your Facebook Page through the social
media icons. But if you want you members to “Like” your page, see the
directions on this LINK.
Follow
the directions given, making sure you have copied and pasted the URL of your
Page (not the basic account).
Hint
1: you don’t have to change anything on the Like Button Configurator. Just make
sure you have pasted in the URL for your Page.
Hint
2: for Weebly, choose iFrame for the correct code.
Example:
What
can I post on it?
- Photos from a meeting or event (draws in more members than does anything
else).
- Announcements (Hint: use canva.com to create graphics; it is free.)
- Calendar reminders
- Links to new information on your website (e.g. scholarship
applications, etc.)
- Link to newsletter
- Surveys (fill-in-the-blank or a multiple choice)
- Sign Up for event (eventbrite.com is free.)
- Upload/link to videos
- Link to International publications
- Link to International website
- Like both the official DKG Facebook Page and DKG Facebook Public Group
Additional
tips: Post regularly, keep posts short, complete the “about section,” and post
images, images, images!

Thanks for all the good information about using Facebook for chapters!
ReplyDeleteI like to post files and documents in the Files feature on the Facebook page. In addition, the poll and events features are useful. Elizabeth Rapp Turner on Facebook. .
