Get Subscribers through Facebook!

Posted by Unknown at 1:00 pm Labels: , , , ,
What's the point in having a great email newsletter with nobody to send it to? That's like being all dressed up for a party with nowhere to go. So why not take your email newsletter campaign to where the best parties are congregating, on Facebook? All you need is your own Facebook Fan page and your GraphicMail subscription form code.

STEP 1. Ensure that your subscription from is correctly customised 
Once you’re happy with your customisation, go to the Embed Form menu and copy the non-javascript code into NotePad or a TextEdit.

STEP 2. Adding the FBML application to your Facebook account 
Facebook has it’s own code - called FBML (Facebook Markup Language) and you’ll need to have the Facebook FBML application if you want to add widgets to your Fan Page.  To add it, simply search for Static FBML and click on ‘Add to my page’. 

STEP 3. Creating the Facebook Subscription page 
When you have added the app, go to your Facebook page and click on ‘Edit Page’.  Find FBML in your list of applications and click the pencil icon.  In Box Title give your tab its name like ‘Email signup’ or ‘Email updates’.  In the FBML section just copy and paste the HTML non-javascript code from the Embed Form section of GraphicMail. 

STEP 4. Adding the Subscription Tab to your Facebook Navigation  
Under the Add a New Tab dropdown in the FBML application you will see the custom name you just gave to the subscription page you created in Step 2.
 
STEP 5. Try it out
Go to your Facebook Fan Page and do a test subscription to make sure it’s all working.
