Just when you thought you had Facebook figured out, it’s time for the new Facebook pages. Since surveys show 90% of nonprofits are on Facebook, this news likely affects you. So I want to point you to the best resources I’ve seen this week on how to make a successful shift to the new format on Facebook.
1. Get oriented. First off, here’s a 101 on the new pages and what yours will look like. And here’s Beth Kanter’s summary of what this means to you.
2. Get started. Second,check out Heather Mansfield’s how-to guide to custom-design your new Timeline.
3. Get inspired. Third, find inspiration in the examples of nonprofits that have made a successful shift. Check out their pages here.
4. Make it pretty. Last, a guest post on Beth Kanter’s blog on getting your cover image just right - without having to hire a designer.
