Welcome to this week’s social media tip. Today I want you to show you how to set your wall posting preferences on Facebook. 

Recently I was teaching a social media workshop when the topic of how to deal with people posting directly to a Family Practice Facebook page came up.  The person who raised the topic hadn’t realised that it’s possible to limit who can post to your Page. In fact, you can set your page’s Posting Ability tab so that only your page admins can post to your Facebook page.

Here’s how to do it.

1. Choose Settings from your Admin panel. Then choose Edit.

2.  From here, edit the posting ability to decide if you want everyone to be able to post on your page, or if you want to allow only your page admins to post by checking the relevant boxes.

3. When you’re done, hit Save Changes.

A very simple step, and one that those who are new to Facebook can easily overlook.

Welcome to this week’s social media tip. Today I want you to show you how to use Facebook Collections to curate and organize saved content for easy access and sharing.

Ever come across a piece of content on Facebook but don’t have time to read it in the moment? Did you know you can save that content to view later?  Facebook lets you save content (posts, events, pages, and photos) directly from your news feed and then easily access your saved items from the left navigation menu on the home page.

Here’s how to do it.

To save content to your saved item list, simply click the three dots at the top right of any Facebook post in your news feed, and then simply select the option to save the content.

When you start building a group of saved posts, you can start to organize it into collections, categorizing it by topic.

To create a collection, simply click on Create Collection in the left sidebar.  You’ll then be prompted to name your collection.

If you want to add a saved post to a collection, simply click the Add to Collection button below the item in your saved list – or create a new collection.

You can also share a saved item directly from your list by clicking the Share button.

I find the ability to save content on Facebook and categorize it according to collections a very useful feature.  I like to share a #MondayMotivation quote each week and many times scrolling through Facebook I’ll find the perfect quote to save. Come Monday all I have to do is access my folder containing quotes to share one quickly and easily with my followers.

Welcome to this week’s social media tip. Today I want you to show you how to assign admin roles on your Facebook Page. 

Facebook allows five different administrator roles: admin, editor, moderator, advertiser and insights analyst. Each role has different capabilities.

Admin can manage all aspects of the Page. They can publish and send Messenger messages as the Page, respond to and delete comments on the Page, post from Instagram to Facebook, create ads, see who created a post or comment, view insights, and assign Page roles. If an Instagram account is connected to the Page, they can respond to and delete comments, send Direct messages, sync business contact info and create ads.

Editor can publish content and send Messenger messages as the Page, respond to and delete comments on the Page, create ads, see who created a post or comment, post from Instagram to Facebook, and view insights. If an Instagram account is connected to the Page, they can respond to and delete comments, send Direct messages, sync business contact info and create ads.

Moderator can send Messenger messages as the Page, respond to and delete comments on the Page, create ads, see who created a post or comment, and view insights. If an Instagram account is connected to the Page, they can respond to Instagram comments, send Direct messages and create ads.

Advertiser can create ads, see who created a post or comment, and view insights. If an Instagram account is connected to the Page, they can create ads.

Analyst can create ads, see who created a post or comment, and view insights. If an Instagram account is connected to the Page, they can create ads.

To assign a role go to Settings on your Page, and click on Page Roles. Scroll down through the options above to choose which roles you wish to assign to your team members.
