Do you know there are over 20 million people join as fans of Facebook Fan Pages daily? Forget about restricting Facebook as a private network. If you can get 5% of those people to land and join your fan page, the impact will be significant. Time to boost popularity of your fan page with the right Facebook applications.
I setup a fan page for Social @ Blogging Tracker 5 months ago. Since then I witnessed the wonders it did to my blog traffic, proven it’s one heck of a networking site to promote our blogs and online presence. If a Ms. Nobody like me can gain some from it, you definitely can too!
Facebook Applications to Boost Fan Page Popularity
Quit feeling comfortable with the basic fan page layout. You are gathering supporters to form a community. Make your fans proud with a decent fan page and give first-timers something to talk about. Get your coffee ready for we’re going on a Facebook app expedition. Check out what you can do to your Facebook fan page tabs and boxes with:
Media to Enhance Fan’s Participation & Engagement
1. SlideShare
One of the must have applications if you’re into slide presentations. Don’t limit your slides on SlideShare , integrate your account into fan page (limitation of one account per fan page). Import existing or selected presentations based on relevancy and you fans will love you for it.

2. NutshellMail
NutshellMail is originally a management tool to sum up your social network activities and have them sent to you via email. Its integration allows the page owner to update status, reply to comments easily from within the email:
But that’s not all.
NetshellMail has recently provided Facebook Fan Page admin the efficiency to create automated email newsletter for fans to subscribe! Now fans can decide what and when can they receive emails highlighting latest updates based on delivery preferences. A wonderful feature to assist busy fans to follow up and comment on wall posts through email directly. (Note: Does not support Discussion Board updates)
3. Reviews
Reviews are similar to testimonials. Now you can request your fans to review your blog, service or product to build credibility. Give new visitors some ideas about your branding. However, placing the ‘reviews’ tab meaning you are open to all positive and negative comments, kindly be aware of that. Here is an example of the review I did for my blogger friend, Luci on her fan page:
4. Poll
A fun and non-stressful way for all fans to participate. Insert a customized poll and have your fans select their choice of answer(s). Send an update to them about the poll will double the effect (be moderate with messages, not TOO frequent). Tweet about it, anything to get the message out. Fantastic way to collect data and monitor responses. Notify your fans the final results and request opinions. Here’s an example:
Video sharing can never be easier in Facebook fan pages. Say if you’re a blogger, showcasing self-made YouTube tutorial videos on WordPress customizations can both be helpful to your fans and own reputation. Or, import your favorite videos to share with fans depending on your page niche. Even humor can be an effective ice-breaker sometimes.
Tip: If you intend to upload videos from other video hosting sites, you can copy and paste the given video URL using the Link application. Alternatively, you can record and upload own video straight to Facebook using the Video application.
6. RSS Graffiti
When we talked about autopost from blogs to Facebook Fan Page, integration tools and NetworkedBlogs are among the favorites. Thanks to Hartley’s recommendation, I tried and fell in love with RSS Graffiti immediately – the updating is almost instantaneous! You can even configure a prefix to your latest blog post to be shown with the thumbnail image and post excerpt.
7. Static FBML
Here comes my favorite part of this article. For all bloggers you should be familiar with HTML codes for blog customizations and such. Well, now you can fix up a desired tab in your fan page according to your likings with Static FBML (Facebook Markup Language). This advanced feature allows page admins to modify or add extra info to their fan pages using the HTML or FBML, for example setup a landing page, displaying social media profiles etc.
When you’re in my fan page, clearly you can see some added tabs above the Wall posts. These are just some of the examples you can get out of Static FBML:
i) Landing Page
The reason I setup this tab is to Give Back. Our fan page has started Weekly Post fr Member since launch, but now we will be featuring some really cool members monthly (starting March, 2010) based on their participations in the fan page. I do encourage fellow visitors/ readers to head right over and see how you can take part as well. A free promo tab been setup just for YOU !
Important Note to Embed YouTube Video:
To copy & paste the embedding code straight from YouTube video won’t work in Static FBML. Kindly follow the general FBML coding as shown below with minor adjustments (free to adjust the color, border size at will ; width and height can refer to the dimension for that particular video’s embedded code):
For example, If the Video link :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abcdef (width=”425” ; height=”344“)
The FBML coding for the video will be:
<fb:swf swfbgcolor="000000" imgstyle="border-width:3px; border-color:white;" swfsrc='http://www.youtube.com/v/abcdef' img src='http://img.youtube.com/vi/abcdef/2.jpg'width='425' height='344' />
Suggested Read : 9 Ways to Enhance Your Facebook Fan Page with Static FBML
Ever felt like never been given enough space for your personal, company, service details in fan page? Extended Info solves your problem by providing a wide range of selections you can choose for insertion: videos, images, tags, categories, FBML block, with or without links. Position them in tabs, boxes or even info section to spice up your fan page.
Remark: Extended Info vs. Static FBML
a) Extended Info
- Able to customize both personal account and Facebook Fan Page;
- A wide range of info styles to choose from;
- Unable to rename ‘Extended Info’ tab.
b) Static FBML
- Only works in Facebook Fan Page;
- Flexibility to rename your tab or boxes.
No catch here. It works exactly as #8, enables you to add a clone or an extra Info tab whenever necessary.
Extra Tip: Profile HTML
This application is not grouped within fan page applications, but since we’re here talking about added info, I’m going to encourage you to include Profile HTML to your personal account. Make it a call to action: a sign up box, a display of your popular blog posts etc. For me, I publicize my fan page so friends can join if they like to:
Ever came across this notice when you’re navigate within Facebook?
We do not know when will this happen, as I am currently using an awful lot of box tabs on my fan page, setup a memorable web address seems like a smart thing to do. Why regret later? Don’t forget to make your web address easy to find and memorable. Inform your fans about the new assigned URL for extra info.
11. Discussion Board
Discussion Board is normally ready on your tab when you setup Facebook Fan Page. Discussion Board is a mini forum for you and fans to hang out and help one another. Remind them about this tab frequently, encourage active discussions to build engaging relationship among the fans.
Suggested Read : How To Receive Notification for New Responses in Facebook Discussion Board
12. Notes
Another well known Facebook application that already placed on your tab when signed in. Most people use Notes to import their blog posts while at the same time using NetworkedBlogs or Social RSS for the same purpose. Actually we can diverse the use of Notes for special announcements instead. Notes has a ‘share’ button that can be used to get the message viral. Don’t limit the good news within your fan page. Encourage your fans to share the note if they find it useful.
Applications to Display Social Media Profiles
Information that will help boost your online profile is a must:
Showcase your Twitter account on fan page, at the same time you will able to find out who else on Facebook is currently using this application. Connect him or her to extend the network further in Twitter. Create a Twitter list and monitor them from time to time.
Another bonus given by this application is a Twitter badge for your sidebar:
Social Media Profile on Admin’s Facebook Account
I was feeling puzzled earlier why these applications allowing ‘Add to my Page’ but showing the customized tabs on admin’s personal account? Then it struck me that admin is also an important factor for a page’s popularity. If we can master the communication and community management, our networks will reap from the benefits:
14. LinkedIn profile
LikedIn profile offers you badges with multiple size range. You never know who you might meet and chances are, somebody who appreciate your talent is dying to cooperate with you professionally. Why throw away that chance to get acquainted? You may gain more supporters in your fan page out of a successful collaboration.
15. Skype Me
If you’re into real time conversations, Skype Me is a good option. This application puts a tab on your personal page that allows you to be contacted easily. Talk to your fans or setup a group chat on your network.
16. Web Profiles
If you have more social media profiles to be included, don’t limit yourself. Web profiles app amazes me with hundreds of embedding buttons, all we need to do is type in the username and voila! A link is placed for each social button chosen.
You don’t have to use all 16 but pick the suitable ones that will help instead of burdening your page with distractions. Review and improvise your fan page accordingly, request opinions from your existing fans on what they hope to gain from your fan page. Never stop Promoting your Facebook Fan Page outside the network, enhance it with FBML. Apply Fan Box Widget on your website and make it visible to all visitors.

Again I’m amazed on how how effort you put into your articles Ching Ya, really impressive work, it seems. I must confess, I didn’t read through the entire post as I’m not looking to move into Facebook pages just yet.
However, I do have a question. Building a community within a Facebook page, doesn’t that just take traffic (and comments) away from your blog, and in turn, ad revenue?
Klaus @ TechPatio´s last blog ..Aperture 3 Brushes – A Quick Demonstration
My head is spinning. Ching Ya.:-)
It would be complicated for me to do all these things as my tech knowledge is limited. I can’t even get my submissions from my blogs to show up on SU as just a post name (without the entire blog name>post name).
Could you please do a tutorial for this some time in the future? I don’t know if there is anyone else out there who would benefit from this information.

I’m glad to hear that. Do let me know which app works for you and inform us the outcome. Feel free to drop me any requests, I’ll see if I manage to dig them up to enhance your fan page.
All the best!
Thanks again for visiting!
Are,
I’m flattered, I could never see myself anywhere close to these pros. They are true strategists, Facebook idols!
I’m glad this post is able to help some people preparing themselves for fan page. I dare to say only those who tried it can experience the difference. I really hope readers here who’re serious into doing big with social media, try this method. And I’m dying to see their results too! ^^
Thank you so much for your kind support, Are. You’re a good friend.
Whoa! This is so, so cool! Who would’ve thought? I’ll start with the first three, never thought about using these things any more than I have already.
I only use my Nutshell account to see who my Twitter “quitters” are…. lol.
Thanks so much, I always leave your site with something more than a good feeling.

Jimi,
Thank you, what a relief to know.
I appreciate your kind words and support all these whiles. Hope you manage to try out some of the apps and enhance your Facebook or fan page. All the best !
Hi Klaus,
Thank you my friend for dropping a comment.
I may be crazy for this post has took me 1 week to prepare. ha.. I still think it could be improved though, maybe I should do a sequel..
About the fan page, to my surprise it didn’t affect my traffic but instead increase it. My server report shows it is currently among the top 3 main traffic for my site. In my opinion, Page members will visit the main site and comment for it’s more beneficial for them to do so with DoFollow & KeywordLuv. Plus the updates will only show post excerpt so in order to read the entire passage before comment, they’ll need to come to main blog, thanks to RSS Graffiti. Another reason why I don’t use ‘Notes’ to import blog posts.
hehe..
Networking is still my priority, next is FB apps. I believe by applying both, a page can work wonders to our blogs, I truly believe so. ^^
Always a pleasure to have one of my favorite amateur photographers to drop by. See you!
Anne,
No worries. Anytime if you feel like changing your fan page, can drop me a message and I’ll see how I can assist you if I know how.
I think I know what’s the reason that caused the SU submission to appear like that. A very simple tweak, will message you later.
Thank you for visiting! Good luck with your books too.
Hi Kevin,
Thank you so much for your support!
I really think you should start a fan page. You have already built up a loyal readership, I’m sure they will be excited to join. Looking forward to that day! Keep us updated.
Welcome Scott,
A pleasure to have you here.
Thank you so much for sharing this post with your members, truly honored! I would love to have your feedback or any requests you may have in future about utilizing social media to reach your goals.
Thank you for visiting. A very inspiring site you have there. Hope to see you again.
Sudeep,
So glad to hear that.
You know all things start with ‘interest’, by having that motivation, it will drive you to try and experiment. Really looking forward to seeing you prosper with your Facebook fan page. Do update us with your progress and nudge me anytime if you need anything. Best wishes.
Thank you Frank,
I have always enjoyed your Tech knowledge.
I’m so glad you find this post useful and share it with your social manager. Hopefully this will help to boost your business to another level.
Thank you for spending the time to comment and vote.
Zmajeva,
One step at a time.
No rush, can register a fan page first and gradually pick up the paces. If you have any questions, hope can assist you.
Thanks for visiting.
Kissie,
You are a delightful reader.. so happy to have you here.
Make sure you’re not seeing me quitting in your Nutshellmail, otherwise this app is messed up big time. lol..

I have thought about doing a facebook fan page for my site, but my two big questions were how to manage it and how valuable it is.
I always find it interesting the different ways, different people like to network themselves based on individual preference.
I am certain I will get around to the facebook fan page and no doubt your resources will be very helpful, but let me ask… How valuable do you find your facebook fanpage? Has it brought you new fans or is it just a method to connect more strongly with your existing fan base?
One of my issues is that when I post some of my stuff on facebook people respond to me on facebook when I would really prefer to interact with them on my site.
Love to hear more about your experience and the net effect of these tools on your blog.
Jay Zuck´s last blog ..Visualizing Psychology Canadian Edition
Ching Ya,
I’m a huge facebook crusader, and it sounds all very enticing, but are those apps really impacting your presence or are they just gimmick – play ?
Mars,
Welcome and pleasure to meet you.
To be frank, they could be both. I believe it all lies in the hands of the admin how to make full use of the applications instead of just placing them as decorations. Call to actions — is the ultimate goal. Each tab shall serve its purpose, be reminded of their existence. That’s how a fan page can truly benefit from them.
Thank you for bringing up a good question here. Truly appreciate it! Hope to see you here again.
Great resources and information, thank you, have bookmarked this post to explore in more detail, Thanks Ching Ya!

Thank you, Klaus.
I do believe that networking is still the main factor to success. As one of the commenters pointed out, app could be just a gimmick — I agree. We need to make them work for us, not against us.
All the best in fixing the app up for your client/friend.
Take care.
Jörgen,
I’m glad my lengthy post didn’t discourage you.
Yes, do go for it and test some of the apps out. Do share with us the outcome and progress. See you around.
Thank you Jan,
So happy to hear that. Be sure to give us all a shout if you ever setup your fan page. I’ll be a supporter.
Ching Ya – I have to say that this is one of the most thorough posts I’ve ever read on hacking a Facebook Page. Very, very useful! I may do a few screen casts on some of the tactics outlined here. Great job!

I hope some of your readers can benefit from this, all the best in blogging. Visit you shortly.
Hi Jay, so happy to see you again! Hope to see more of your sketches soon.
When I first started fan page, my initial intention was to engage more with my existing readers. Although that could be done on my personal account, some of them were still kind enough to support my fan page with a few likes and comments. Then suddenly, I found new members started joining the page, some were converted from new friends to fans.. some were strangers who have yet to know my blog. Now all of them are exposed to my blog links weekly whenever the page is updated. Some of them come to comment while some share on twitter; not necessary on the blog itself, but I enjoy the diversity. That’s how we get the message viral since everyone has a different network coverage. — so indirectly, the network works for both readers & new fans.
About the issue of fearing others will respond on FB instead of your blog, that actually depends on how you would like your info to be displayed on Facebook. You can try to display some of your art work to test the water; if the response is great, you may place links instead of images; or suggest fans to see your new updated art work at your blog & encourage their feedback there. Let them know what you prefer, as long you are polite and persuasive, I don’t see why they need to head all the way from blog to FB again to comment.
Unless they feel more comfortable in FB or they don’t own a blog for link love.
Monitor their responses and feedback. Sometimes it’s a matter of choice. Should you risk losing a bigger fan base over a few comments on your blog by not setting up the fan page? You may need to ponder over this question.
Do keep us updated with your decisions and progress. Thank you so much for bringing up this question. If you need more clarification, we can discuss this further at: messagecy@gmail.com
JR,
Thank you so much. I hope it helps in your fan page setup. See you around. ^^
Fred,
Welcome and nice meeting you. It’s encouraging to know about this, do message me anytime if you need any clarifications.
Thanks again for connecting on FB and Twitter.
John,
Thank you my friend. It means a lot to hear this from you.
Love to see your work, keep them coming. Thanks so much for commenting. Hope to see you again soon.
I’ll definitely post abut it, if/when I rejoin.

I think the results may vary from one blogger to another. Some blogger friends of mine are more active on Twitter comparing to Facebook. So it would be good if you test out both and see which can give you a better result, then continue the effort.
Wish you best, hopefully a fan page setup soon in near future.

Glad could help out, which part of Facebook are you doubting before this? Wish you best in setting up.

Great to hear that.
Be sure to return and let us know which apps gave you the best results.
Element321,
For starter, you’re doing quite well with your fan page.
I would love to know your progress after implementing the apps. Great to connect with you on FB, see you there.
Hi Damien,
Happy to know you’ve gained some useful information from the post. May the app implementation works wonders to your page. Thanks so much for visiting!
Ricky,
Very kind of you indeed.
I do appreciate your support. I love Nutshellmail! I personally utilize it to follow up FB updates & networking, a must have!
Thanks for visiting, see you again soon.
CWA,
That’s wonderful. I’m glad you’ve found your answer here. May the embedding works successfully on your page. Appreciate your comments here.
Srivathsan,
Thank you for visiting. May you enjoy the FB newsletter setup experience.
Ching Ya,
Great to meet you, thank you for a great post, I second Lleane here, I never knew many of these existed, I do have a fan page for my local “portland bill” blog, and will go through these to see what I can do.
I know some people don’t like apps, but being on a fan page and not their own pages it may well be taken in good faith.
Again, thank you for sharing, I wouldn’t have found many of them myself.
Great blog you have here too.
Take care,
Rob

I have often wondered how to improve fan page popularity. All I could think of was to invite my whole friends list, and hope they would do the same.

Thank you Rob and nice meeting you as well.
There’s nothing more relieved than hearing someone had benefited from this list post. Looking forward to see how the apps can help in your page presence. Best wishes and hope to see you here again.
Susan,
That can be part of the strategies as well.
I believe for all starters, friends can be real helpful in participating in your discussions and post-sharing. It takes time to bond, but patience and consistent networking will pay off eventually. I honestly think so.
Thanks so much for commenting.
WOW! Really awesome article Ching Ya. Lucky me I’m not miss this one. I know fan page is important but never crossed my mind to boost my fan page.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing. I surely will be making changes/additions to my facebook fan page (www.facebook.com/trimo.inc). Especially like the Landing Page application.
Thanks for that warm welcome, I’ll let you know what I think of them, interestingly today I get a new “weekly stats email” from facebook regarding the fan page, that’s a good move on their part.
Will be interesting seeing which apps work best for fan pages over the next few months, the combined data from lot’s of use should be revealing.
Thanks again,
Take care,
Rob

hi – you have mentioned Polls above – I am struggling to find a good Poll app that will publish to yiour fan page – can you help?
Hi Caroline,
The FB application for the poll is indeed ‘Poll’ – I used it and quite satisfied with its display, try click at #4, underlined ‘Poll’ and you’ll be directed to its application page.
Let me know how it goes. Thanks for your comment.
I am just a bit anxious to maximize facebook because of what happened to Friendster. Maybe in time FB will also become FS soon.

After reading your post, I have added some good new applications like Polls, Skype me and static FBML in my page and it looks quite cool now. Static FBML is really a nice thing and it helps a lot in page customization. Thanks for sharing such a nice and helpful post.
Ching Ya – Very comprehensive list Lovely One. You are also such a great example of the time and effort that goes into this stuff is well worth it. Implementing some of this stuff TODAY! Xo

Another comprehensive post on how to make facebook work for you, by Ching Ya. I yet have to come across a better facebook resource, and kudos to this lady for consistently coming up with the goods.
If you are serious about making facebook work for you, then look no further, this blog is the place to be!
Thank you for putting this list together… I have found similar lists but none so extensive. I have installed 4 on my facebook fan page.
is a very good list, but do not believe that all applications are good.
I say this because I installed five applications that list and have not received the expected result.
