Are you looking for ways to increase your article exposure? I have discovered a way to turn my Facebook profile page into a FREE advertising page for my eHow articles. This article will help you use Facebook to Feature your eHow articles.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Facebook Account
  • Computer
  • Internet Access
  1. Step 1
    www.facebook.com
     
    www.facebook.com

    If you do not have a Facebook account, you will need to create one. Once you create your account you are ready to use this space to profile your best eHow articles.

  2. Step 2
    Ehow Articles
     
    Ehow Articles

    Go to your eHow articles and choose one of your articles that you would like to profile on Facebook. Open the article like you are going to read it and click on the share link that is located just under your intro paragraph. This link will give you all of the sharing options. Click on the Facebook link.

  3. Step 3
    Post Article to Facebook

    When you click on the Facebook link a pop-up window will come up. Add a comment and click on the "Post to Profile" tab. I like to use the comment box to hook my Facebook friends into reading my article. If you do not add a comment, your article title will be your hook.

  4. Step 4

    After you complete step 3, your article will be posted on your Facebook profile page. I check my Facebook account daily for daily maintenance of my featured articles. I want my articles to be the mail focus of the page, so I delete any comments, requests, or other info that will get in the way of my featured articles.

  5. Step 5
    My Facebook Profile Page
     
    My Facebook Profile Page

    You can promote your articles by using the "what are you doing now" link. I use this area to invite or entice my friends to click on my article links "below." Featuring my articles on Facebook has increased my article exposure tremendously and all of the exposure I receive I absolutely FREE. You can use the links below to see how I use my Facebook profile page as Free advertising for my eHow articles. I wish all of you success in your writing adventures!

Tips & Warnings
  • Do daily maintenance to keep your articles the main focus of your Facebook profile page.
  • Use the "What are you doing now" bar to Hook your friends into reading your articles. It works!
  • Use a separate Facebook account if you do not want strangers to access your personal information such as pictures, email, or any other information that you want to keep private.
