How to Make Your FacBook Events Show on Your WordPress Site
If you’re the type of person who always wants to keep up with friends and family then social media is for you. With every new app that becomes popular, there’s a new form of social media that you need to know about. One such app is FacBook. If you use Facebook then you’ll most likely have heard of FacBook. For those of you who haven’t heard of it, FacBook is a free app that’s all about connecting with friends and family via video chats. The video chats are made up of short films called mini-docs, which you can then share with others.
We all love a good ol’ fashioned chat session with friends and family, but with the pandemic continuing to loom over the world, video chats are a wonderful way to keep in touch without having to actually be in the same room. Especially when you consider that video chats don’t require as much time or concentration as a conversation. It’s also a great way to learn more about your friends’ and family’s lives, which can inspire you to plan events and gatherings of your own.
How Do I Use FacBook On My WordPress Site?
As with any new social media app, there are several ways that you can use FacBook on your WordPress site. The main ways are through an embed code or a standalone widget. Let’s take a look at each one.
Embed Code
One of the simplest and most effective ways to get content on your WordPress site is through an embed code. Essentially an embed code is a snippet of HTML and JavaScript that you can copy and paste onto your site, which will then load the corresponding content from FacBook when clicked. If you’ve ever used YouTube then you’ll know that most often when you visit a video’s page it’ll bring up a box that says “Go full screen” or “Play this video in full screen”. That’s basically what an embed code does for videos hosted on FacBook.
Embed codes are easy to use and require very little maintenance. When you paste one on your site, you’ll often see a panel that slides in from the right side of the screen, presenting you with options for what content to load. If you’ve ever used YouTube, you’ll know that these are often called “Thumbnail panels” or “Featured media”. If you’re a publisher with a regular site, you can use embed codes to populate your site with a variety of content from different publishers, including yourself.
Stand-Alone Widget
The other option is to use a standalone widget for the content. A standalone widget is similar to an embed code in that it loads content from FacBook when clicked, but it also gives you the option of adding your own content to the site’s sidebar. Let’s say you’ve got a bunch of blog posts about fashion. You can create a widget that displays the latest articles from your blog in a vertically scrolling carousel. You can even add an image along with the articles so that when a reader clicks on a blog post, they see a preview of the article with a tiny bit of descriptive text below. When a reader clicks on the image, they’ll be taken to the full article on your WordPress site.
There are a variety of free widgets that you can download and add to your WordPress site. Some of the more popular ones are shown below. You don’t need to go cheap with these — decent quality ones don’t cost much at all.
Instagram Widget
Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms, with over a billion active monthly users. In fact, the app has officially surpassed Facebook as the world’s most popular social media app. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Instagram introduced its first ever branded product: stickers. Essentially stickers are little images that you can add to a photo to make it more interesting and to tell the story of what you’re looking at. For example, if you’re taking a picture of a flower arrangement and you want to add a sticker of a dog to the photo, you can.
Whether you have a funny, quirky, or informative story to tell with a photo, you can always add a sticker of your choosing to it. It’s like having a virtual photo album that you can hand out to friends and family to show them your wonderful stories or funny anecdotes.
Twitter Card Widget
Last but not least is Twitter’s card widget. Similar to the Instagram sticker, the Twitter card widget allows you to add additional content to a tweet, including images, video, and links. Essentially, a Twitter card is a snippet of HTML, which you can add to a tweet’s message. When a user clicks on a tweet with a card, they’ll be taken to your website or selected webpage.
There are a variety of Twitter widgets that you can download and use on your WordPress site. Similar to Instagram and LinkedIn, Twitter allows you to add a professional feel to your social media endeavors.
LinkedIn Widget
LinkedIn is one of the world’s most popular business platforms, with over 300 million active monthly users. Like Twitter, LinkedIn allows you to add a professional feel to your social media endeavors. If you’ve got a professional-looking website or blog then you can use LinkedIn to gain more visibility in your industry. Essentially, a LinkedIn widget is a small box that shows the latest content from a selected user or company.
There are several reasons why LinkedIn is one of the most popular social media platforms. For one, it’s incredibly easy to use. As a publisher, you don’t necessarily need to be a tech expert to get started using LinkedIn. You simply need to go through the motions of setting up a profile, adding your content, and connecting with other content creators. If you want to gain more subscribers on your YouTube channel, for example, you can create a blog post about the steps you need to take to make a successful video (consisting of keywords, descriptions, and tags). Then you can create a YouTube video telling viewers that they can subscribe to your channel via a link in the blog post.
How Do I Optimize My FacBook Events Page?
If you’ve created a page on your WordPress site for your FacBook events, there are several ways that you can make it more appealing to potential attendees. First, you can use a tool like Google Keyword Planner to find the best keywords for your page.
For example, let’s say that your Events page is about a fashion show that you put on every year. If you want to attract attendees who are searching for fashion shows, you can use the keywords “fashion show” and “style influencer” to find the best keywords for your page.
Additionally, you can make your page more enticing by using images that are relevant to your niche. If you’re a fashion blogger, you can use a tool like Growthoid to find the perfect photos for your blog.
Having quality photos is essential for any site, but it’s especially important for a page that’s all about a specific niche. If you take a look at any of the major fashion blogs, you’ll notice that they always use photos of stylish people to show off their clothes and accessories. Using photos that are relevant to your niche will make your page more appealing to your target audience.
How Can I Make My Event Post More Relevant?
Once you’ve got your event posted on your blog, you can use a tool like Google Trends to track its popularity.
Say that you’ve just published your fashion show event. Within the first week, your post appears on a popular blog, drawing a large audience. A few weeks later, you follow up with another post about a clothing line that you collaborated with. While your second post draws even more interest, your first post is now more relevant. If you use keywords as you’ve been advised to do, then your second post will naturally rank higher than your first.
As a blogger, content curator, or social media influencer, you want to keep your audience engaged with consistent and relevant content. Fortunately, you can use this data to your advantage. If you notice that your audience is engaging with one type of content more than any other, then you can try to expand your content to include more of what they’re interested in.
Why Do I Need An Events Calendar?
An events calendar is an essential tool for any blogger, content curator, or social media influencer who runs events. Without one, you’ll never know when an event is going to take place and you’ll never be able to plan your writing or publishing around it. Fortunately, there are a variety of free and premium-priced events calendars out there that you can download and use.
