Facebook Fan Page iFrame--How to Set Up a Fan Gateway and Squeeze Page
- ARTICLES |
As an online marketer you know how popular Facebook fan pages have become. They are a great vehicle for connecting with your current customers and attracting new customers in a friendly, popular social media platform.
So often, visitors will land on a fan page, take a quick peek at the wall and then maybe click away never to return. The trick is to quickly engage visitors, get them to 'Like' your fan page and give you their email address so that you can stay in contact with them. In exchange, you offer something of value to them that is directly related to the fan page.
What you will be doing is creating a gateway page for your fan page, which contains a graphic image that encourages visitors to 'Like' your page, and then it tells them what special free gift they will receive when they do so. If they do not click the 'Like' button, they will not gain access to your premium freebie.
This is an effective way to both get more fans, but to also build your opt-in list. But the powerful thing about a Facebook fan page is that when a person clicks a like button, this shows up on their profile for their friends to see. Those friends who are curious could click on it thus initiating the 'viral' potential of Facebook.
Now let's take a look at how easy it is to set up a fan page gateway using a free iFrames app.
Go to your fan page and do a search for the app: Static HTML: iframe tabs
When you are done, click on the 'Save and view tab' button at the top of the page.
It's really that simple. You might want to create a test fan page to try out your new iFrame skills before you mess with your real fan page if it is already established and you have a fan base. A squeeze page is only the beginning of what you can do with the new iFrames functionality with Facebook fan pages.
