How to Share a Facebook Page or Banner that has your Like Button on it. And...check out the Giveaway and Tour Schedule
Hello fellow authors. Today’s tip to increase your Facebook fan page popularity (meaning to increase your page visibility and the number of page likes) involves sharing your page or banner to your own Newsfeed, and/or a friend’s page, and/ or to a group of which you are a member. The idea here is that you share your page banner several places and friends see it and ‘Like’ it. The flip side of it is that friends may share their page banner to your page. In this way, all parties benefit.
So, how the heck do you do this sharing thing? I’ve discovered two ways to share a page or banner. The first method doesn’t work all the time. I believe it works only on older Facebook accounts? The second method worked on all my pages. I’ll share both and you can choose what works for you.
Method One:
From the Admin Panel of the page you want to share go to Build Audience, drop down to Share Page. Continue with Method Two instructions below, starting with number 3.
Method Two will work if your Build Audience menu does not contain the Share Page option:
Go to the Fan page you want to share and find the little wheel image that is to the right of Message.
Click on the little triangle to open the drop-down menu.
Select from the Share this Page drop down menu to share on your own timeline, to a friend’s page or group. I suggest you share to all three locations. Make sure you click Share Page to finish. You will see a pop-up message that tells you the post was successfully shared.
I hope these tips increase your Facebook popularity by leaps and bounds and wish you great success. Remember, success is always best when shared with fiends. I am delighted to share an opportunity for you to win my books. Don't forget to enter the giveaway below by clicking on the Rafflecopter link. Please, check the tour schedule below and stop in and visit with my tour hosts.
Best of luck, friend.~Scarlett

My Blog Tour and Valentine's Day Giveaway have started....
Hello everyone. I had so much fun with the Book Blast that I just had to follow-up with another event. This one will be a little different in that we have scattered some how-to posts here and there on the tour that are designed to help authors learn how to help themselves while helping others: a win-win, if you will. I hope the tips help you and that you enjoy this tour and take time to get to know the tour hosts. They are terrific people.
Speaking of terrific people...I want to give a special thank you to my Artemis team for all their hard work putting this together. Carolyn and Roberta, you are troopers to forge on even when down with the flu. I appreciate you so much!
Now, on with the event. Don't forget to enter the giveaway. I wish you blessings and luck.

Meet Jill Elizabeth Arent Franclemont, a kindred spirit, author and poet
Sometimes we meet kindred spirits who reach us on an intuitive basis, for many reasons. Jill Elizabeth has been my Guest Poet all of the past week and I know, after reading her work, that we are sisters of the heart. Please, welcome my friend, Jill Elizabeth Arent Franclemont, and offer her your support. Blessings to all...Scarlett. |

About Me (Jill): The Very Short Version
Mine was an average, small-town childhood. I read everything in sight, went to school, played with friends. I imagined a lot of things and places, and decided I wanted to see them all – which meant leaving that average small town as soon as possible. I went to D.C., studied philosophy, put myself through school. I worked for five years, realized I wanted more and decided on law. Enter Chicago. Despite a hairy beginning (pick-pocketed my first day!), I survived law school and two bar exams, and headed to a law firm in Philadelphia. The billable hour and I did not get along. Within a year I was job hunting.
Enter the magical world of pharmaceuticals (employment, not consumption). It seemed like a dream – prestigious title, high pay, regular hours, travel, Corporate perks. At first it was. Then my boss (an amazing woman) retired. Then her boss (another amazing woman) retired. Then I learned how much those two women had shaped my experience – and how much I didn’t fit the mold of a Corporate American. Bored and frustrated, I took a sabbatical and started thinking.
I couldn’t stay. I didn’t enjoy anything about it anymore. The company was being acquired – a golden opportunity, since I wanted out. Back-of-the-envelope math told me I could decide what I wanted to do next based on what I wanted, not money. I wanted something utterly unlike the regimented bureaucracy of Big Pharma. I loved to read, people told me I turned a clever phrase. Why not write? A zillion months later, the company was sold and I was free. And a mess. I moved back to my hometown for a comfortable environment. It was a little too comfortable. But it helped bring back my long-lost sanity and let me be a real daughter, aunt and friend for the first time in twenty years. It was amazing, but a year passed without a single written word.
Eek.
I couldn’t believe how time flew – or how easily entropy set in. I was tired of people politely asking how the book was going, and politely responding that it wasn’t. I was also tired of being unproductive. I needed a kick in the ass, and got one when I fell in love with an amazing man – an amazing, diligent, focused man. Score! Suddenly things looked different – in the best possible way. When I said I felt like writing, he said that was good because he was setting me up a blog. When I whined I didn’t feel like writing, he reminded me this was my dream and if I started, I’d be surprised how easily I’d keep going. He was right.
Here we are a year later. Amazing Man and I are married. I have two step-kids, a blog, a collection of stories and novel in the works, and more ideas than ever. Things are clicking along – some days more slowly than I’d like, but still: progress. I don’t know where exactly this will all go, but it sure is one hell of a ride…
