How To Add Aweber to Your Facebook Page

written by John Chow on June 28, 2009

Build Your Online Business Now

Facebook is the biggest social media site on the Internet. With nearly 300 million users, you can’t afford not to be on it since it’s one of the best way to get your message across and connect with your readers. Many bloggers have created Facebook fan pages to keep people up to date on what happens on their blogs or businesses.

What you may not know is that a fan page can be a good source of opt in leads for your email marketing. If you go to my Facebook page, you’ll see a tab call “FREE EBOOK.” Clicking on the tab brings up an Aweber sign up box so you can subscribe to my newsletter and download my eBook. This is a good source of new sign ups and a great way to built your mailing list. If you’ve watched my video on how I make $40,000 with a blog, then you know how important a mailing list is. I added the Aweber sign up box using the Facebook Static FBML application. Here’s a screen shot of how the subscription box looks on my Facebook Page.

My Facebook Newsletter Sign Up Form

The Facebook Static FBML application will add a box to your Facebook Page so you can render HTML or FBML (Facebook Markup Language). What you do is simply add the Aweber opt in code and have Static FBML render it. The end result will be an email newsletter sign up box in your Facebook Page. Here’s a step-by-step video on how to do it.

The video explained it all very well John. The only thing missing was to change the name of the tab, which is easy to do when you're adding the code - just change the wording in the Box Title. You may want to add a little introduction, too like "Sign up for the latest news on..."

I just joined your fan page, and immediately went looking for how you added the FREE EBOOK tab, and it is right here. You have earned a new disciple John! I am starting a new project and it will be following all of your hints, tips and secrets. G.Y.W.G.T. Ahhh, the evil John Chow!

Very informative. I am gathering resources to increase my ability to attract people to my website. I will definitely bookmark this for future use. Thank you.

Brilliant. Too bad we can't do the same with LinkedIn... or can we?

That application is great. I hadn't seen it before you mentioned it. This is going to come in handy for a lot of things.

Wow.. you are a genius of your own.
This is really exciting stuff. I seriously not see anyone doing this before.

This is a great feature to use to help build your email subscription list. The video is extremely detailed, so it should be fairly simple to implement. It helps if you have dual monitors so that you can watch the video on one screen, while following the steps on the other screen. :-)

Dang, that is a BAD ASS landing page, but facebook is now overrated too..

I think the only people that think it's overrated are the ones that don't really know what to use it for other than talking to people.

my facebook cant seem to find any pages... and there's no sign of that icon at the bottom of the page.

if anyone knows the possible solution, i would live to know as adding my aweber sign up form sounds very senseible.

If you don't see it, then maybe try another browser.

Great information here John. This will make me pay more attention to my Facebook fan page. Thanks!!

I am so behind. I don't really know how to make a fan page that would make what I am doing any different than a regular page. And I don't really have a marketing site more an information site. I'm going to have to figure out how to leverage an autoresponder but one step at a time. Ingenious idea.

The idea seems to be bright,the video is really praiseworthy.

How in the world did you add a TAB that says "FREE EBOOK" to facebook??

Umm, didn't you watch the video? :P

A very useful tool.
You can enter any html code?

You should go through your facebook inbox LOL. You have quite a bit in there!

Hi John, thanks for the great tip.

I followed the video and created a Free ebook page but how do you get the Page tab to show in the profile like the one you have?

Care to share?

Just follow the directions in the video.

That's a great tip. Thanks John. But unfortunately i haven't used aweber yet.

Great tip John! I have been using Aweber for years, but still have not fully utilized it's potential. I am definitely going to set something like this up. Thanks!

Aweber is still a costly affair for many. But this is something you must have in your arsenal

The free ebook page looks uber cool.

Great tips as always

Fan page ftw, thanks John.

Nice idea. Good to see people putting facebook to the test and making it work well instead of it just being a static service.

Nice idea - just when I think I've got it all covered there's always a new angle on things to look at :)

Web Guy 303’s last blog post: Alternate Recent Posts: Small code fix for the list that is output

Awesome John.

I currently use Facebook's Application called 'Profile HTML' It's not quite the same as what you have done as it does not have it's own 'Tab' but sits within the 'Wall' tab.

To see this Facebook App, visit my page:
http://www.VinceCianci.com/Facebook and click the 'Wall Tab'. The Profile HTML box is on the lower left.
You are able to move it around your profile for best position.

While it is not the same or nowhere near as effective as what you have done, it's a start. The other downside is you are VERY limited with the amount of space to work with therefore limiting your text and any offers etc.

Yours is awesome and a whole lot more effective. Not to mention totally customizable and inline with your overall theme and brand.

Great work :)

Thanks for the information.

I've seen in some blogs, Facebook is their biggest traffic building site. Putting a subscription option in Facebook, will definitely improve the readership count.
