Here’s a tool that you should leverage! Facebook tagging, enables you to identify and reference people in photos, videos and notes out of your page or/and personal profile. It’s a great way to let people know what and who you’re referring to.
HOW:
Include the “@” symbol before you type the name of that person you would want to reference, a drop-down menu will show that will show you a list to select your on friends, Pages, groups, events and applications.
Friends you tag as part of your status updates will be given a notification and your post will also show on their walls. They’ll have an option to remove tags of themselves whenever they wish.
WHY:
- You need to share news or information that you believe would interest or benefit a selected Page, Person or Group.
- You intend to help spread the word of someone else’s work or news.
BENEFITS:
- It offers you the capacity to interconnect and expand your network.
- Others who will spot your site might also want to connect to you when you’re presenting yourself as being a person of value.
- It’s a faster strategy to spread your message around other networks.
REMEMBER:
- You possibly can’t use tagging in the comment (only works inside your status update).
- Offer value and stay relevant.
- NEVER spam or promote yourself when tagging.
When used strategically, tagging generally is a great method to cross-promote with other people on Facebook. You need to be make to use tags in positive ways.
NOTE: You will only be capable of tag individuals that have their privacy settings setup to allow it.
