Hi Dawn,

I don’t handle change very well either, but I like the idea of being creative within the boundaries that are set by facebook. One of my mantras is that the pain is in the resistance, so I’m trying to practise what I preach and letting go of resistance to things that I can’t control. Thanks so much for the article. It helped me get my head around the new facebook changes.

Warm wishes,
Mia

I have a facebook fanpage, and as you stated, with the new timeline layout fans can send me a private message, but am I able to send them one first? sometimes i like to do raffle giveaways in order to get more likes on my page. I want to let them know through a private message to get their contact information rather than exposing it for everyone to see on the fanpage wall. Any ideas?

I forgot in my previous post if we capture leads ( which Facebook is very good for) we can create much more business success. Timeline still keeps that as a possibility, while maybe even enhancing it.

You did a great job informing of some of the changes Timeline brings. I would like to say that it is possible to still bring people in to a specific app (Tab) as default. It is done by ads, status updates or even redirect. You just have to link to that Tab in the ad, message etc. you send out. yes I know it is not like setting a default and forgetting it. I think Timeline is going to, eventually, be considered a great upgrade and loved. it gives a lot more possibility for us. I am quite pleased.

We just have to be more creative. it will weed out weaker marketers and help the good ones.

I am glad i found your blog. keep up the good work.

Hey Cindy! Yes, I think it is good to add custom tab buttons for people to click on. Those tabs can feature anything from a newsletter optin page, youtube videos, twitter, pinterest, etc. I would be happy to help you with your Facebook fanpage whenever you are ready Cindy! Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post and leave a comment.

Thanks for the valuable insights Dawn. It’s funny because we just talked about you designing my new Facebook Page. I guess we’ll have to think about how to get more creative with it now!

So as a graphic artist, do you think it’s useful / possible to have some good visuals in the boxes /tabs on top? Will those be clickable to take visitors to a certain tab on which we can have an opt in form?

thanks!

Great article Dawn. There are some things I would not like to be changed, but some are great and I think it will all be for the best.
