Laurie_139933 Gold Member artist Posts: 734	Need Help, Please Jul 4^th, 2013, 7:20pm I'm hoping someone can tell me what I am doing wrong on face book, please. When I share one of my sales or anything else it posts on my personal page instead of my business. Thanks! Laurie

Hi hun, when you are on your page go to the drop down menu at the top in "Edit page", at the bottom should be "Use facebook as" ... click on that to change to using Facebook as your page name then post in your page, be aware though if you don't change back you will come up on your own profile as your page so you will need to change back if you want to keep them separate.

Also, when you use a Share button, it brings up a small window. At the top of that window is a drop-down menu (I think it says something like Share on your own Timeline). Click on the down arrow there and choose your fan page. Then it will post on your fan page rather than your personal page

Sometimes if you use the arrow next to the thumbnail, you'll browse through other images, more often than not yours is one of them, however there has been a problem with our card not even being one of the choices here at GCU when we use the email share button. It's kind of okay sometimes and not others.

When you run across those instances that your card is not one of the choices. Cancel the share and instead go find your card in the public marketplace (click the card in the email) and grab the Sell This Card TEXT link. Paste that into your new facebook post ... wait for it to load the link and card image below, then you can delete what you pasted in and write your thank you to the customer or whatever. Then post as usual.
