It has been over a year since ChurchMag shared how to create a Facebook Page and Facebook has undergone so many different changes. Unfortunately, during that time Christian organizations seem to have not invested in the power of the social network to show the products, services, or community that could be shared with people that might have an interest in what you do. With these changes in Facebook, users now have more marketing power than before to share a brand or network to people.
The basics of a Facebook page are the Wall, Photos, Events, and Questions. They are the staple of Facebook that can be seen in an individual’s page as well, but we want to set Pages apart from a typical user.
