If you really want your Facebook community to be active, then you need to make sure that it is connected to your other relevant online profiles and social media activity.

There are two main reasons for this:

1. By linking social media accounts you can cross promote your content by sending updates out simultaneously to several platforms, including Facebook. So, for example, if your Twitter account is connected to your Facebook page, whenever you send out a tweet, it will show up in your Facebook stream.
2. Visitors to your page can see you are active on other platforms. This adds credibility and can help establish you as an authority within the given niche or subject and it also gives visitors the opportunity to connect with you on other social networks.

One of the first things you need to do when you set up your profile, page, and community is to link it to your other online properties, such as a blog or business website. You can also mention your activity on these sites in your Facebook status updates.

But, there is another way to make dynamic connections to your other online social media activity...
