If you have a sponsorship program or are planning to start one, a big part of sponsoring is promoting the blogs on your page. I’ve recently started charging for my Ad space so I’ve really been trying to utilize every aspect of promoting the blogs on my site. There are lots of tools to promote your sponsors: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, StumbleUpon and I’m sure there are more. Sponsoring takes time and a lot of investment, it shouldn’t be taken lightly. I’m going to show you one way that I support my XLg & Lg Ads utilizing Facebook.
On your Facebook Page there is a section under your followers titled, “Likes.”
If you haven’t edited this section of your profile it rotates through various pages that you currently “like.”
When I first started up my Facebook page, this is one of the places I would always look to find new blogs to read. I’m sure if I was doing it, then there are others that do the same!
If you would like to change this section to reflect your current sponsors, or even your favorite blogs follow the steps below:
1.Edit your Page
2. Go to your Featured section.
3. Edit your Featured Likes
4. Scroll through and click on the pages you’d like shown.
If you follow lots of pages (like I do) you may have to scroll for quite some time before finding the specific blogs that you want. I find that if you use the scroll bar it’s easier so you don’t miss one. Then click – ‘save’.
And that’s it! All done!
It’s a pretty easy step to do once a month when your sponsors change.
Plus it gives them a front row seat on your blog AND Facebook page!
Yeah for more publicity!
Did you know about this fun little feature?
Do you use it or do you plan to use it?
I did that the other day!! I thought it was so cool that I could pick those. I’m definitely adding it as a “perk” to swapping ads with me. I was also going to do a tutorial on how to but now I will just send people your way!

I just found your site through The Blue Eyed Owl’s link up party. I wanted to say hi and also tell you I really like you’re sites layout.
I just started looking into doing sponsorships for my site and I didn’t realize what all you could do with Facebook. This is a very helpful post and something I will utilize when I start getting my sponsorships going. Thanks for the details!
