Fans Adding Photos To Fan Pages

Facebook fan pages are a great way for businesses and fans (currently called “likers”) to connect and interact. And a great way to do this is to add fan photos, especially ones related to the business and its events.

Adding fan photos is quick and easy to do, but isn’t explained very well. So, here’s a tutorial to get you started!

1. Log into Facebook, and go to the fan page you want to post photos on.

2. At the top of the wall is the box where you can post a message. At the bottom it says “Attach:” and has icons to click on for links and photos.

3. Click the photo link, and select “Upload a Photo”.

4. Select the image(s) you want from your computer.

5. Add in any message you want to put with it.

6. Click “Share” and the photo is posted to the pages Wall, and will also go to the Fan Photos section. It may take it a minute to appear in the Fan Photos, but it will.

One important reminder to fan page admins – you have to give permission for fans to be able to post their photos. To do this, go to wall page, and click “Edit Page” link under the logo in the upper left corner. Under “Wall Settings” go to “Fan Permissions” and check “Fans can write or post content to the wall”, then check the boxes underneath for photos, videos, and links. I have heard that ALL boxes have to be checked for any one of the to work, but I cannot confirm this. You can try checking just the ones you want and see if it works.

Does this work for everyone? If not, let me know and I’ll try to find a solution.

Now, go post some photos!!
