Web help for Isagenix Associates
Step 1: Set up a Facebook Profile on Facebook.com.
Step 2: Go to our article on how to create a Facebook Fan Page and follow the steps provided
Step 3: Now go to our other article on how to set up a Facebook Storefront and follow those steps.
If you are setting up a storefront for the first time, you will get the new look – but if you’ve already set up your storefront, you will want to go through these steps again to get the new look.
And with that, you’re open for business!
We’ve all seen YouTube’s “suggested videos” feature, but how on earth do you make them go away? Technically, you can’t stop them from appearing on YouTube’s site. Technically.
You can remove them from your embedded videos. If you want to learn how to do this, go to our original post, “Removing “Recommendations” from Embedded YouTube Videos.”
Getting back to that “technically,” there is a work around that allows you to point viewers to watch a video via our channel without the pesky suggested videos popping up. We can’t guarantee that it will work in the future, but it works for now:
1.) Grab the video’s link and copy everything after the youtu.be/ (in this case: CEtt_ivI7Es)
2.) Here’s the magical link that you will need to keep on hand: http://www.youtube.com/user/Isagenix#p/c/0/
3.) Paste that part of the youtu.be link (the CEtt_ivI7Es part) right after the 0/ and you’re done!
It should look like this:
http://www.youtube.com/user/Isagenix#p/c/0/CEtt_ivI7Es
Again, we don’t know how long this trick will work but it’s a worth a shot!
“I’m on Google Plus – so now what?”
I get this question a lot, mostly because I’m always talking up how great G+ is. So I’m happy to answer that question here.
First, while Google Plus is different from Facebook in a lot of ways, it’s also different in one important way: The way people follow each other. If I “Friend” you on Facebook, we aren’t friends until you return the favor. However, on Google Plus, I can “Circle” anyone I want.
A while back, we showed you how to turn on or off importing blogs to your Facebook Notes. Well, it looks like that’s now coming to an end.
If you currently have this set up, you’ve likely already seen this message on your profile:
Why the change? There’s no word. However, if you have this set up currently for your Facebook profile, you will need to add stories manually after the 22nd.
Bear in mind, this is hardly a bad thing. Studies have shown that automatically posting content to Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc. drastically reduces engagement. One study showed that auto-posting to Facebook decreased Likes by 70%. Their conclusion was that since Facebook truncated automatic posts, there was less for people to see when they discovered them, and therefore less of a chance that they would interact with them.
My own feeling is that people are less likely to look at something that has been re-shared than something a friend or associate took the time to write out. If you come across a story that is interesting to you, it stands to reason that the people who connected with you with will be more interested in your post if you tell them why you find it interesting yourself.
Hopefully, this is an improvement over the first podcast; we had a bit more time to work on it, and we got $5 for for some audio clips, so now the podcast has a budget! (All baloney aside, you’d be surprised how far $5 will go on the internet for sound bites.)
In this episode, we discuss different ways to help us help you find information and answers to questions, we discuss Tumblr and its benefits vs. WordPress, how to structure your blog with your interests, Eric talks about the “witchcraft” of the new iPhone and which phone you should use, and the super-awesome Tip ‘o the Week.

Since Facebook unveiled it’s new Timeline feature last month at the Facebook developer’s conference F8, a lot of people have been asking us… well, where is it?
There were reports it would be launched on September 29th, then rumors circulated it would be October 6th. The last I heard was it would be released yesterday – and, of course, it wasn’t. Now when you go to the page on Facebook to enable the feature, you get the cryptic message:
That’s a fine how-do-you-do for something they were trying to launch with a lot of fanfare. The reason for the delay appears to be a lawsuit going on between Facebook and Timelines.com, who are trying to protect their brand. The details of the suit can easily be looked up on Google News, if you want to know more.
The short version is you don’t have to worry about it just yet. It appears your profile won’t be changing anytime soon – though, of course, as online news stories always seem to go, that could also mean it will change tomorrow. So take that with a grain of salt.
It’s been a month since we unveiled our Facebook Storefront app for your Facebook Fan Pages – and we’d like to thank you for the great responses we’ve had to it.
Thank you.
