How to Share Facebook Profile Updates to a Business Page

Facebook is constantly unveiling new features to make sharing great content easier.  You can now Share updates, links, videos, and photos from your personal profile to any Business/Fan Page you administer.

Here’s how:

  • Log in to your Facebook personal profile.
  • Click the “Home” button (upper righthand corner of your screen)
  • In your News Feed, you’ll see other people’s updates.
  • Look for the “Share” link below each update.

  • Click “Share.”

A pop-up box will appear, and you can choose from five sharing options:

  1. On your own Wall
  2. On a friend’s Wall
  3. In a Group
  4. On your Page
  5. In a private Message

This image shows what the pop-up menu looks like. In this case, I chose to share a photo album published by my local school district to my Blogging Bistro Facebook Business Page.

For Admins of Multiple Pages

I administer multiple Facebook pages, and when I tried to Share “On Your Page,” it defaulted to the Page that’s first on the list of pages I admin.

To force Facebook to Share to a different Page, select the correct Page from a second menu that will pop up after you choose “On your Page.”

Whether you choose to share to your Page, to a friend’s Wall, or to a Group, etc. you can (and should) “write something” – in other words, explain why you’re sharing the update, before you click the “Share” button.

If you decide not to share the link/update/photo/video, you can always “Cancel.”
