Our Simple Homeschool page on Facebook has nearly 10,000 likes.
Over the past year this page has become a well-visited virtual community–where I ask questions from readers, give links to posts, mention giveaways and other items from the web I think you might be interested in. You also share your thoughts and advice with other readers there, too.
Honestly, that page totally redeemed my faith in social media (of which I have only a little!).
Recently, however, Facebook has changed–they are not consistently showing status updates in your feed merely because you “like” a page.
If blog or business owners pay to promote a post, then FB show it to more people. But for those of bloggers not rolling around in piles of money to do this often, it often seems that up to 95% of readers who have liked the page may not see my updates.
Kind of disheartening!
Thankfully there is a way that you can easily continue hearing from me on Facebook. Take a look at the screen shot below and you’ll see what to do:
Visit the Simple Homeschool Facebook page and hover your mouse over the LIKED button. Then click “Get Notifications” in the drop-down menu.
This way you know for sure that you won’t miss a thing–(Not that I’m suggesting these are life-or-death updates, you know, but it’s handy to get the information you’re interested in, right?! ;))
Head here to update your settings on our Facebook page now! I’ll look forward to chatting with you there soon.
This change from Facebook has been one of their most frustrating to me. Thanks for clarifying how we can circumvent this issue. Love getting all your updates!
