The switch is close. We’re all preparing. Facebook just made it a bit easier.
Facebook has just made it a whole heck of a lot easier. See how in the video! Leave a comment below if you are thrilled with this change! It’s about time we are thrilled with a “change” isn’t it?!

Everyone said these changes would kill fan pages. I agreed, until I uncovered these 3 stunning discoveries.
First, we used a 30 second trick that drove insane amounts of traffic to our Timeline Tabs.
Second, we developed a copy and paste strategy that helped us magnetically capture hot email leads!
… and lastly, we stumbled upon 7 incredibly easy ways to sell insane amounts of product through the new Fan Page Timeline Apps.
If you want to get traffic, capture emails, and sell through your fan page, learn how by clicking the blue button below.
Cool new feature huh!?
Yes, it is cool! However, how does one Change the icon next to the app? It’s a defaulted one that I don’t like. Did I miss a step during the creation of the Tab? Thanks!

guy makes sure he has 100 freind requests b4 he makes this>>>>> great vid tho
Hey there! I was using Facebook as my page- those were “likes ”
As always… Great value and great material presentation – Thanks for the information!
[...] 2. In the page tab creation wizard you first want to select the fan page you’d like to add a custom tab too from our drop down menu. Our platform will automatically recognize which fan pages you are an administrator of. You must be the administrator of a page to edit and install it with Lujure. After selecting which fan page to edit, select the tab name you’d like to install. Keep in mind that regardless of what it is named on our platform, you can change the name using this technique.

How do you replace the icon nex to the customized tab name?
You have to actually build the app yourself. Change the image by just uploading it from your desktop on the app dashboard. Cheers!
So Simple! Thanks Nathan
as for changing the icon next to my tab, im at the dashboard but not really sure what to do next.
Also when should a person upload and none fanpage, ? always, once in a while etc? and when it asks for an image not sure what kind of image to put in.
and finally, prior to up loading a fanpage, i had 181 “Likes” and now 4 days later the number is still the same, but yet I know for a fact that a bunch of friends and family have liked my page, any suggestions.
We are still in R and D mode regarding changing/updating the icon. I’m sorry Randy. Cheers
Has this gone past the R&D mode yet? We have a business plan and would really like to use different icons than the Lujure icon.
Yes, we released remarkable new custom icon feature last week. Create a new tab and select custom publish to set up your own icon. Cheers
But if you are using the comment stream on the tab and the option publish on your own wall is ticked, the name of the tab shared is not the new one, but Lujure template tab one. That’s too bad! So we set up a contest, and used the template ‘contest’…now, after posting sth on the comment stream of the tab and sharing it with my own wall, the shared tab is not ‘Sorteo 500 fans’ (the name I put according to your own instructions) but Contest, which doesn’t say anything to my followers.
That is correct Elena, the individual elements on the page are not changed in regard to the name of the tab. Thanks for the feedback!
How do you re-assign a welcome page? I had one up but took it down and now I want to make a different page my “Welcome” page… How can I assign a page to be the one you land on first?
Great question! Click on edit page, and then select the tab you want to be the landing tab from the drop down menu
Cheers!
The tabs created with lujure does not show up in my apps. The video is informative if you’ve created the app to connect to your facebook fanpage, but it’s not in step with lujure created tabs. How do I change the name on my lujure created tabs?????
Hi there Chris! You can rename your tab by following the attached guide. Cheers!

I have always been able to rename my tabs without problem like it shows in this video but now they are changing back to their default name – I have changed them several times the keep the name for a few minutes and then change back
This is a known FB bug

How come i am redirected here to rename my tab from my dashboard when I want to change the name in my dashboard? I understand how to change the tab name on the client end, now how do I manage my dashboard to maintain a clean, logically ordered workspace? Do I have to delete my tab and start over in order to edit the tab name? I only ask here because this is where your tool redirected me when I clicked on rename.
Hey there David! You can’t change the name in the dashboard, just on Facebook
I’m sorry.

Thank you Nathan! As always, you are the best.
Thanks exactly what I was trying to do.
