How to Link Facebook to Twitter: a "Tutorial Thursday" post


Today's "Tutorial Thurs" post covers how to link your Facebook business page status updates to your Twitter account.  Please note, this tutorial is for those who manage business pages on Facebook, and doesn't work for your personal page.

Linking your Facebook business page to Twitter is a time-saving tool.  Nothing replaces a carefully crafted tweet...but this is a good option for those who may otherwise not have the time to update in both places. 

How to Link Your Facebook Business Page to Twitter:

1. Login to Facebook (also login to Twitter if you have tabbed navigation, otherwise, you can log into twitter on Step 4)

2. Visit http://www.facebook.com/twitter

3. Click on "link to Twitter" for the Facebook business page you'd like to link to Twitter


4. Click on "authorize app" on the Twitter screen that appears. After the link occurs, you'll be taken back to Facebook (the Facebook.com/twitter page).  


5. Click on "edit settings" to specify what items you'd like to appear on Twitter (status updates, photos, video, links, notes, events, etc.)


You're all set! Your Facebook business page posts will now appear on your Twitter page.

If you're looking for other time-saving tips, you may also enjoy automatically publishing your blog posts to Facebook and/or Twitter via Twitterfeed.  The name "Twitterfeed" suggests it's a twitter-based service, but they handle Facebook publishing, too! This is another time-saver that works well for those who wouldn't otherwise be able to promote blog posts over on Facebook/Twitter due to time constraints.  Again, nothing replaces you posting/promoting blog posts Facebook yourself, but this is still a good solution.  That post is over here: http://strategiconlinemarketing.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-to-connect-your-blog-to-facebook.html
