Etsy Seller How-To: Creating a Facebook Fan Page

Many of us are connecting with old friends, classmates and peers through Facebook.  Did you know Facebook is also a great way to share your Etsy Shop news?  Not only can you create an Etsy Shop Badge for your Facebook profile, but you can create a Facebook Fan Page for your buyers and devotees. ArtBySusmitha says her Facebook Fan Page has lead to many connections with new customers and she has created a simple tutorial to get you started!  

You'll first need to already have a Facebook account to have a Fan Page. (A page is different from your personal Facebook profile.)

1. You start by adding an application called Pages. The easiest way to find a link to this application is by going to an existing Fan Page and finding the Create a page for my business link. Here's a screen shot of my Art by Susmitha Page. You can see that the link you're looking for at the bottom of the left hand column (click picture below to see a larger version).


2. Add the application and you will be taken to the Create New Facebook Page link where you enter the first bit of information.

3. Now your new, empty Fan Page has been created. Begin by clicking on the Edit Information link.



4. Enter the basic and detailed information. Hit Save Changes at the bottom and then Done Editing on top.



5. Now you'll be taken back to your main page where you can add your website info and URL and also a profile picture of your logo or product. When you hover over the top right corner of the profile picture space, the edit icon will appear.



6.  After you've got your photo and URL info added, go on to edit the page by clicking Edit Page.



7. This will take you to the Settings and Applications page. Make any adjustments you'd like here.



8. Then scroll to the bottom of the Settings and Applications page. Click on the edit icon at the corner of "More Applications" and browse for more apps.



9. To add your Etsy Mini to your page do a search for My Stuff and click on the Gigya My Stuff application and add it.



10. Go back to your page, click on the + sign next to the Wall, Info, Photos... tabs. Add the My Stuff application to your tabs.



11. Follow the instructions and paste the flash version (larger code) of the code into the box (the java version cannot be added). Now you have your Etsy Mini tab all set.



12. Finally, click on the Photos tab and add loads of images of your products.




Your basic Fan Page is now ready. Hit Publish This Page link (in red) on top to tell all your Facebook friends about it.

I've finally figured out the Facebook fan page, it's fun!

BUT - does anyone know why my computer would all of a sudden hate FB? I have to right click to open any links, photos, etc.... sucks!

June 5, 2009 at 12:17 p.m. mksupplies

Last years Yart sale was great! It was a lot of fun to participate, and we look forward to this years!

June 5, 2009 at 12:18 p.m. mksupplies

Doh, too many windows open at the same time!

June 5, 2009 at 12:21 p.m. mightymarce

As an added tip, I see a lot of people say they can't figure out how to get back to their fan page after creating it (FB doesn't make this the most user-friendly, huh?).

I found that on my facebook home page there's a small toolbar on the bottom left side, and just next to where it says "Applications" there is an "f" icon. When you hover over it says "Ads and Pages." If you click on that "f" it'll take you to your fan page homepage.

June 5, 2009 at 12:23 p.m. tortillagirl

I built mine barely two weeks ago, and it was super quick. It didn't take me more than 30 mins: If you already have photos of your items you just upload them and add links to your blog and shops. I'm glad I put up the page because a lot of my friends (who know me in "real" life) with whom I stay in touch via Facebook now see what I make much more often.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tortill...

June 5, 2009 at 12:24 p.m. tortillagirl

P.S. Bookmark your page after you create it because the address is long [thank you, facebook.]

June 5, 2009 at 12:26 p.m. moonscreations

Oh technology, why are you wasted on me?

Great tutorial. I've had my facebook fan site for a couple of months now, and though it hasn't brought an actual sale yet, there are over 80 people who get all of my updates on a regular basis. It's totally worth investing time in!

Facebook Fan Page has been on my to-do list for a while now. With the help of this article, there's no reason to procrastinate any longer. Time to take the plunge!

June 5, 2009 at 6:13 p.m. LushPunk

I don't know if this is helpful to anyone, but the webaddress for mine is really long with a bunch of numbers on the end - if you go to http://tinyurl.com, you can create a custom shorter url eg. mine is http://tinyurl.lushpunkfacebook . It's been really awesome or me, because now it's short enough to add to my shop annoucement and email signature :)

Can I just say that Facebook lately is removing people and their profiles with no notice for promoting their business...I haven't updated my page on FB for a long time now because I don't want to be kicked off.

June 6, 2009 at 2:07 a.m. pixiecampbell

I'm finding my way through the process, this has made it much easier! Thanks for the tips!
I tried tinyurl but it prompted me to allow permission for the website to view my clipboard, which I thought was odd. So I backed out for now. Any thoughts?

thanks for sharing, i've been wondering how to set up a fan page!!

my only question ... i added the "my stuff" application already on my profile page and i can't seem to get it to come up on my fan page. hmmmmmmm, any thoughts?!

June 6, 2009 at 10:46 a.m. FashionFauxPas

Now I understand!

Phew! Can't wait to set up my fan page! Yay!

Thanks!

Thank you!

June 6, 2009 at 3:14 p.m. ccstar

i have a love/hate relationship with facebook Pages. They really don't make it easy to navigate! I tried the MyStuff app, which by the way is a great workaround for the fact that the Etsy Shop app doesn't seem to work on Pages (only profiles), but it's really buggy! I can't get it to work, and it keeps prompting me to add it to my profile, when I just want to add stuff to the box. They say it's a temporary problem.
One thing to clarify in your tutorial is that the code you're adding to the MyStuff box is the code for your Etsy Mini widget from your Etsy store, which you can get by clicking on "Etsy Mini" under "Promote." Haven't been able to add it, I'm wondering if it matters which size mini you choose. Anybody tried a Trunkt widget yet?
I also had an issue with the Links app on my Page. I would tell you how I fixed it, but I'm not sure how I did it.
I recommend adding the "Reviews" app to your page to let fans post reviews of your work. I also recommend becoming a fan of other pages, especially other crafty business pages, friends and such. It increases your possible hits if they fan you back. And through the Boxes app, you can decide to put some of this content onto your Wall so people can see it when they first get to your Page.
(If you have any questions or comments, convo me because I seldom check up on forum posts.)

June 6, 2009 at 3:15 p.m. ccstar

Oh yeah, here's my Page:

Thanks, great idea, I have to use it!

June 6, 2009 at 7:16 p.m. thefrogprincess

ccstar and jocole, I had that problem too. When you're on the page for the application My Stuff, on the left hand side, there's a link that says Add to My Page.
Click on that and a box should come up that says Select which page you wish to add My Stuff to.
Then click on your page that you just created.

June 6, 2009 at 10:01 p.m. livistitches

Great Info! I had a page but wasn't sure how to add my Etsy mini, Thanks for the step by step instructions.

K, I did it. I accidentally kept adding the same pages because I couldn't find them, so thanks mightymarce for the info on that aspect.

Here's my very new page http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Nei...

June 7, 2009 at 1:23 a.m. SarahPadgham

Great tutorial thank you! I have a couple of questions, maybe some of you can help? I did everything above but now I cannot find the "publish this page" button, any advice on where I can find it now? It is no longer at the top of my pages. Also, once I do publish the page will my friends on my personal page be able to see a link to my fan page? I can't figure that out!

Thanks!

June 7, 2009 at 1:24 a.m. SarahPadgham

Oh - One more question - Will I be able to see a link to my fan page on my personal page once I publish it? I keep having to do a search for the page to go back to it and add things.

Thanks again!

June 7, 2009 at 1:29 a.m. UniquelyEmber

Thanks for the tutorial - it's been a great help.
Just managed to set mine up: http://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/?i...

It still looks a bit bare at the moment though.

Does anyone know how to invite friends to become a fan? Do you just send a block message to your friends, or is there an 'invite' button somewhere I haven't seen?

June 8, 2009 at 1:31 p.m. TheHookieMonster

Ignore that - I've just found the 'suggest to friends' button under the profile pic :-)

I have tried this and got as far as step 11, but can't seem to link my new page to my original profile and I am not sure what code you are talking about to get the Etsy link into 'my stuff'. I did manage to load my new page with pictures though, although it took over an hour. I wish there was some facebook tech help for things like this.

June 9, 2009 at 11:40 a.m. DawksArt

Whoops, and now I've lost my new page link. Not a techie, lol.

June 16, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. KilnGoddess

I'm stuck on the step to add the 'my stuff' thingie so I can hook up my etsymini. How do I add the my stuff thingie, the article says to add it but no photo of where to find the button to add it. I see a add it favorites but that did not get it in my + tab. Color me confused...

June 16, 2009 at 12:44 p.m. artbysusmitha

Hi everyone, thank you all for your kind comments. It's really good to know that this article has helped so many of you. Also, thanks to those of you who have shared additional tips above :)

Sorry for the delayed response from my side. I knew when the tutorial was mentioned in the Etsy Success Newsletter but I wasn't aware of when it was published here at The Storque until now.

People have been contacting me with questions through my blog http://cutelittlepackage.blogspot.com (where the article was originally posted) and through the etsy convo system on both my stores so I just kept answering them there.

Most of the questions have already been answered by others above. I'll answer the remaining ones to the best of my ability...

KilnGoddess, when you do a search on facebook and find the My Stuff app, it isn't enough to just add it to your favorites. You need to follow the steps to add it to your page. Here's the link to the app page: http://www.facebook.com/apps/applicat...
You'll find the "Add to my Page" (not "Add to my Page's Favorites"!) link. Just click on it and follow the instructions.

SarahPadgham, since you shared the link to your page and we can see it, I assume you figured out how to publish it after all :) And the only way you can link your fan page to your personal page is by copy-pasting the link into your profile.

If anyone has any further questions please take a look at the comments on my original blog post first (many common questions have been asked and answered there) and if you don't find an answer, please leave a comment there and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

i finally got my page up and running.. here it is..

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Made-Fr...

I haven't got pictures or anything up yet, that will be on my to do list for today!

I do have a question though.. I had My Stuff on my regular profile, so i couldn't put it on my fan page. And now I still can't... does anyone know a way of getting it to work? Please let me know!

And thanks for this step by step how to.. it was VERY helpful!

I wish the new facebook connect could be linked to my fan page, instead of my personal profile. Can you Etsy wizards come up with this option?

Thanks :D

Too bad I didn't see this earlier. I made my fan page but I put it under the store category. Now I can't add more info on my store. I can just put the website url. :(

But thanks for the info. I added the gigya application.

I design custom Facebook Fan Pages! I'd really like to work with some more Etsy stores to get their products integrated into Facebook - there's a LOT of potential to increase your traffic once people interact with your products more directly a through Facebook Fan Page or business. Check out my page with examples: http://www.hilinskyconsulting.com/fbm...

Sept. 10, 2009 at 12:15 p.m. VickiDianeDesigns

Please can someone help me ?
I have a facebook page
http://en-gb.facebook.com/Vicki.Diane1
Someone on Etsy was kind enough to create a fan page for me.
Although I have one, I have no idea what the link to it is, and how to invite people to become fans ??
(The only way I can find it , is by fanning myself and therefore creating a bookmark ) ???
Help please ???

Sept. 11, 2009 at 12:27 p.m. HeatherJaneDesign

This is a great article to get you started on creating your FB fan page! I am just working on setting mine up now!

When I add 'My Stuff' it will only go to my personal page. . .I can't figure out how to add it to my business page. Anyone have a tip for me?

Sept. 25, 2009 at 2:58 p.m. PurplePebble

Hi I've managed to do this after several false starts, but I would like to know how to find other crafters in fan pages. I tried searching crocheters but just got one group and bunch of people called crochet! When I put fan pages in search it just finds things called 'fan page' Is there any way of searching fan pages to find the business that you want.

Sept. 29, 2009 at 6:30 a.m. PurplePebble

Hi, Thanks for the tutorial here is my page

I need my Fans! Off to create the page and see what happens. Thanks for the great Tutorial. ;o)

Sept. 29, 2009 at 5:16 p.m. ohdanger

I already had a fan page but I liked the idea of adding the Etsy Mini. I followed your steps but was only able to add the My Stuff (and therefore Etsy Mini) to MY profile, not to my PAGE. Clarification anyone?

Sept. 29, 2009 at 6:13 p.m. DogwoodCreations

Thanks!

Sept. 29, 2009 at 6:41 p.m. akissofromance

Great information. Thanks for your article.

Sept. 29, 2009 at 7:12 p.m. paulandkatestudio

I cant add the My Stuff either- it just prompts me to sign up for a profile (I dont have a personal FB profile, just the business page). Am I doing something wrong?

Sept. 29, 2009 at 7:54 p.m. twogreenbananas

thanks so much! I have been trying to finish this for some time now, and haven't seemed to be able to figure it out.
Can I make a fan page for each individual etsy site I have?
Thanks!!

Sept. 29, 2009 at 8:04 p.m. modhmary

I followed this tutorial and created a fan page a while back, thanks - it was so helpful! The page has been a success as well, a great idea for everyone on Etsy. I did even land some sales from it!!

Sept. 29, 2009 at 8:11 p.m. tadasana

Yay! I did it! Thanks so much for your instructions! Any help getting the mini to show up on the fanpage and my profile page?

Sept. 30, 2009 at 8:56 a.m. KneeDeepOriginals

Thanks so much for these instructions! I tried to make a Fan Page a while ago using instructions I found on another website, but it wasn't as helpful and I gave up! So this post was great!!

Sept. 30, 2009 at 10:07 a.m. madeforyougifts

Marking this for later! I have been wanting to do this and feared the worst but now I will definately try it, you made it sound so easy. Thanks!

I am an artist and I have been have fun with pottery and beginning to enjoy sewing, too... but... I must do better with my advertising... and it is tough.... thank you, though, for the info...

I was wondering how you could add an Etsy mini to the fan page. Thanks for posting!

Oct. 5, 2009 at 8:57 p.m. Scrapboarding

SOS - I have my page, got through the steps, but I don't understand how the code is generated? Any one have some advice?

Oct. 5, 2009 at 9:17 p.m. Scrapboarding

Oooooh! I figured it out ! You have to get the code from the Etsy Mini in "Your Etsy" ! Success, ahhh joy.

Oct. 8, 2009 at 12:33 p.m. munchkinmama

I am feeling really dumb, but I had set up my page previously and now I cannot figure out how to get to the screen that appears under step 4 above. Can anyone help me?

Oct. 14, 2009 at 4:43 p.m. BlueElephants

this is great, but I am stucked on N. 11. What code do i need to paste????

Oct. 14, 2009 at 4:47 p.m. BlueElephants

I am confused by it all, but will keep trying.

This is very helpful, thanks! I've been wanting to create a fb fan page for a while, so I am working on it right now!

Nov. 9, 2009 at 12:19 p.m. Recycedelic

Thank you so much for sharing this. It is exactly what I needed to figure out how to get my fan page going. Much appreciated!

Nov. 19, 2009 at 5:55 p.m. AlyTheRed

YEY! Me too, Lilac, I've been wanting to make a FB fan page up and didn't see where the ap was! This is a great deal of help, and I'm keeping your info up and starting right now!

Cheers,

Nov. 19, 2009 at 7:52 p.m. CarolinaRoses

I tried to post my Etsy mini to my fan page and it will only post it to my personal profile! What have I done wrong?

Nov. 20, 2009 at 2:12 a.m. PositiveEnergyDesign

wow! looks like a great idea! Thanks!!!

Nov. 20, 2009 at 4:05 p.m. jadedseas

Hi there, I've gotten to step 11. where it says follow the instructions... but I don't know where the code that I copy and paste into the mystuff is? I managed to add the etsy mini to my personal facebook by going directly to the etsy app, but can't get it to work on my jadedseas designs page...?

I also got stuck using the above directions (was putting on my personal page, not fan page) and then I found the article below - and it worked like a charm! Click on the "my etsy application". Happy FBing!

http://community.etsy.com/uncategoriz...

My new fan page: http://www.facebook.com/search/?init=...

Nov. 23, 2009 at 9:01 p.m. shadowfairyqueen

This was a great help! To add your etsy stuff go to your esty and then to etsy mini - it will generate the codes you need. Then just copy and paste.

Nov. 27, 2009 at 9:51 p.m. LisaConfetti

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. Getting started. Following your steps, but scared they will be harder than expected (as technical things always seem to be). Fingers crossed!

Nov. 27, 2009 at 11:25 p.m. LisaConfetti

Task complete. All done, with no glitches at all. Super simple. Thank you!

Nov. 27, 2009 at 11:26 p.m. LisaConfetti

PS. I did want to move my new etsy tab (on my facebook page wall) closer to the front of the list, and it took a minute to figure out how to do it. Simply click and drag.

Dec. 2, 2009 at 2:21 p.m. beadsofaquarius

thank you for help ,i'm gona true to do one also.

Dec. 9, 2009 at 2:36 p.m. LollyBopBaby

Very helpful.
How do I get my fans off my personal page and onto my fan page?
Also, when I comment on someone else's fan page, my profile pic comes up. Why not my fan page avitar?

Dec. 29, 2009 at 12:42 a.m. uncostumed

Great application, but I agree with LollyBopBaby. How do I get the My Stuff application off my personal profile page and onto my business fan page?

Jan. 11, 2010 at 9:27 p.m. BethanyOgle

Thanks to thefrogprincess! Using the "Add to My Page" button worked - problem solved.

WOW!!! Just fund this. So glad. I have been wanting to set up a fan page for a while now. No one I know knew how. Hope I can do it now.
Thanks Bunches
