hey everybody what's up this is pat
flynn from the smart passive income blog
and welcome to my facebook page today i
want to spend a little less than 10
minutes with you to share how to create
a branded facebook page so you know
facebook is awesome for expanding your
brand for connecting with your customers
or your readers or subscribers however
facebook doesn't really give us much
room to work with as far as
customization and design is concerned so
we really have to maximize and utilize
give us to customize really what i'm
talking about is our profile image here
on the left hand side as well as those
five little images here at the top so
i'm going to share with you how to do
that really quickly today now if you are
a Photoshop user you're actually in luck
because i created a PSD file for you
that'll make it super easy to upload
these files in the perfect size and i'll
get to that in a second so if you are
not a photoshop user i just want to go
over the dimensions of these images
really quickly for you so this profile
image on the left hand side that's
actually 483 pixels tall by 180 pixels
wide and these five images here at the
top they're all the same size they're
going to be 68 pixels tall by 97 pixels
wide now i'm actually going to create
these images for a brand new facebook
page that i just created for one of my
niche sites at security guard training
HQ com this is a brand new facebook page
it just created for it as you can see
just has a really tiny little profile
image here which I'm going to update and
it doesn't even have those five images
up here at the top so I'm gonna update
that as well all right so you photoshop
users out there who want to download
that PSD file that's going to help you
slice and dice your images and make them
the perfect size when you're uploading
to facebook go ahead and go to smart
passive income com / facebook branding
and that'll take you to the blog post my
blog that has this video embedded
underneath this video on my blog there's
going to be a big bold link to download
the PSD file its going to help you and
i'll show you what that PSD file looks
like right now alright so this is what
the PSD file looks like when you open it
it basically resembles your facebook
page except it has a few missing parts
obviously it has the missing part for
the profile and the five images at the
top so what we're going to do is we're
going to design this page exactly how we
want it to look when we save it there's
a special way to save it so that it
slices each of these six parts into
separate images separate files so that
we can have them ready for uploading on
to Facebook super fast super easy now a
couple things here to understand before
you do this whenever you draw on the
screen or paste other images on here
make sure they're in a layer underneath
the slice and dice layer here in the
menu you can have as many layers as you
want to create the images that you'd
like but just make sure that this is
always the top layer the slice and dice
layer is always at the top and secondly
realize that these are these five images
here one two three four five whenever
you reload the page they randomized so
if you had some word order here like my
name is pat flynn the next time you
reload the page it's going to be like
pat flynn my is the or whatever it's
going to be randomized every time so
there's this is just specific for
facebook pages don't ask me why facebook
doesn't just have it in a specific order
but it's always randomized so just keep
that in mind and what you want to do is
try to set it up in a way so that it
kind of makes sense no matter what order
it's in so i'm going to show you how i'm
going to set mine up right now again you
can set up yours however you wish but
the first thing i'm going to do is I'm
just going to paste all these things
white so I'm going to fill them white as
you can see if i were to fill them blue
for example it just only fills up the
stuff behind the slice and dice layer
again because I'm toggled on the image
goes here layer so I'm going to switch
it back to white I'm going to open up a
profile image that I created earlier and
just drag it onto here position it to
where I want to be I'm going to create a
layer on top of all that and switch the
color to blue and I'm going to create a
line that goes through all these and
then I'm going to switch to a white
color switch to text and just write some
quick text in here that
it makes sense for this brand so I'm
just going to have some quick words in
here and let me just copy these so i can
easily rewrite them in a second as you
can see the way i'm setting this up it
won't matter what order those five
images are in which is important so
protect safety what are some other
security guard words observe observe so
I report and help sure why not so
obviously you can make yours as fancy as
you want but this will kind of just be
mine for now so after you get to this
point what you want to do is save the
file but you want to save it in a
special way you want to go to file and
then click on save for web devices and
then from here you can kind of see where
the slices are going to be taken from so
one two three four five six and these
little blue boxes and make sure it's a
JPEG that you're saving to then click on
save now this is really important I'm
going to create a new folder i'm just
going to put security guard training
images just to easily organize them
because it's going to create six images
don't worry about the file name those
are going to change for you now under
here settings change it to default
settings always make sure its default
settings and always make sure the slices
says all user slices it might say all
slices or it might say selected slices
but again all user slices default
settings images only don't worry about
the file name so I'm gonna click on save
now when I go to my finder and I open
this up you'll see that it created a
folder called images and I'm going to
open that as you can see there's six
different images which are the slices of
exactly what we created so now we have
all these files perfectly ready for us
so I'm going to go back to Chrome now to
upload these files onto facebook alright
so here we are back at our boring old
facebook page that we're going to give a
bank over two and four
thing we want to do is to really easily
upload a new profile image now just go
over here to your profile image that you
have already hover over it and click on
change picture go ahead and go to choose
file and find that image it was in that
images folder that we just created it's
actually named for you so go to profile
pic jpg and open it and then if we go to
view pic after it's done uploading
you'll see that that image is there
which is great now the one thing I want
to point out is that the thumbnail image
that you have by default it kind of just
picks a spot within the profile image
kind of right there as you can see and
that a thumbnail is what's going to be
shown every time you leave a message now
you don't want it to be this random
thing you kind of want to choose what
that's going to be so in order to do
that go ahead and go to change picture
once again underneath there's a thing
that says edit thumbnail click on that
and now you can kind of adjust and
dragged to where you want it to be so
I'm going to show this man's face right
there click on save now if I go back to
the wall by clicking view page you'll
see that my image has changed here in
the thumbnail and it looks a lot better
some people use people's faces some
people use logos just use that technique
to find whatever part of your profile
image that you'd like to put in your
thumbnail so the next part is to change
the five images up here now this is
really easy we can do this all in one
batch just go ahead and click on photo
right here and what we're going to do is
we're going to create an album and then
click on select photos in that same
folder you'll see the five images that
you created from that photoshop in file
click on image one hit shift click on
image 5 to save them all and click open
and now to going to upload those files
I'm just going to create a new album and
call it you know you can call it
whatever you want but I'm going to call
it banner images I'm going to make them
high resolution and then click on create
album and now at this point you know
there's a couple things it's going to
ask you for description of each of them
and if the if if you feel like these
deserve a description you can do that
you can
go ahead and do that some people get
pretty ninja with this and they actually
put links to certain posts or products
or whatever that are relevant to the
images that they've they've put up so
for example if I had a new book about
how to make the best security guard
report out there you know I could put a
link in the description for the report
image you know people do click on those
and they will see the description at
that point but it's up to you so for now
though I'm just going to skip this part
and then I'm actually going to click on
the image or on the link up here to go
back to the home page and you'll see
that the banner images are now they're
so now i have a branded facebook page
that totally looks so much better than
before obviously you can design it
however you wish now a couple things to
realize here just to reiterate every
time I load this page it's going to turn
into a different order so when you're
designing this make sure that you create
it so that it can work in whatever order
those five images are in and also when
you upload new pictures it'll it'll
it'll kind of bump one of these out so
actually let me see if I can do that for
you here i'm going to upload my profile
image one more time just to show you
what happens i'm just going to share
that and now if I reload the page you'll
see that it bumped one of them out
actually it's showing the kind of white
space here now in order to just get rid
of that just click on this little X here
and then the other one will come back so
that's all you have to do so I'm going
actually going to remove this post there
and there you go that's your branded
page I just wanted to say thank you so
much for joining me today and watching
this video I hope it was helpful I would
love to hear from you if you use this
tutorial to create your own branded
Facebook page I want to see it the best
way to show me is to actually go to pat
on facebook com and that will redirect

with your page there and I would love to
just check it out and I might put the
best ones up there who have the best
creative use of the banner images or
whatever into a blog post

some traffic coming over to your page
from that so again I would love to hear
from you and also check me out that pat
