So I've created a FB "fan" page - a public page to promote myself as a writer and show prospective agents that I'm creating a platform from which to launch my book.  Since I can link my work blog through the FB profile, I decided against a website.
I've managed to put up a few photos and posts but I'll be damned if I can figure out anything else beyond the profile!
There are two essential parts to this promote-myself project: 1) Content. That I have no problem providing, and 2) Likes. This page needs as many likes as it can get
To build an audience, I can import emails from my personal account but should I? Do you want to be contacted like that? Since I don't have an existing personal FB page, I can't use my existing FB contacts.
The weird thing is that I can't find a Search option. I feel like I'm stuck with my Admin page with no way of getting beyond it. Frustrates me to not be able to figure this out. I know what the login for a personal account looks like and how to search for friends that way but it doesn't seem possible from a fan page. I want to feature the FB pages of some of my fave writers but I don't know how to find them.
And I don't know how to tell you how to find me! If you can search for me, use my first and both my last names; since I write under both, I'm FBing as both.
I'm keen to use this FB page as a writer but at the moment, I seem limited to posting -- and no one reading.
