How to View Your Facebook Page Newsfeed

Facebook Page Newsfeed

Have you tried to view your Facebook page newsfeed lately? I’ve had several people ask me about this lately because it used to be pretty easy to do. You’d simply use Facebook as your page and go to the newsfeed like you normally do. But in all its wisdom, Facebook has decided to change things. They probably thought they were simplifying things, but the result is not so great.

The only way to view the posts from the pages YOUR page has liked is to do it from your page’s Timeline and only on the DESKTOP. (I’ll talk more about mobile in a moment.) The option is displayed on the left-hand side, below the number of likes your page has and the post reach as seen below:

That’s right. This SEO copywriter / internet marketing expert says you should stop writing blog articles NOW!

Here’s what I want you to do instead:

What is Blab and Why Should I Care about it?

BlabHave you heard about Blab?

If the answer is no, don’t feel bad. You’re not alone.

This year-old livestreaming service with the “stupid” name (my 23-year-old’s humble opinion!) is sort of like Periscope on steroids. That’s because you can have a public video chat with 4 people on-screen talking at once. For those of you who grew up in the ’60’s, picture the “Brady Bunch” with everyone in a different square.

Not only can you have 4 people on camera at the same time, but viewers can participate by typing in comments and questions in a chat box. Viewers can also give “props” to the speakers in the form of a clapping hand ala Periscope’s hearts.

Gloria Rand’s Top 10 Blog Posts of 2015

Wow! Another year has come and gone. Can’t believe it. I think my aunt warned me about this when I was a kid. She said when you get older, the years start flying by. And she was right. Oh well…
