The last time I checked I’d liked around 1600 pages on Facebook! Yep, 1600.
That was also the time I decided that if I really wanted to connect with these pages and businesses, I needed to organize my Facebook page likes so that I can actually see their updates regularly.
You see, as a business owner, when you like pages from your personal profile you do so not only because you think the other business is quite awesome but also because you hope that you may be able to collaborate, partner or work together in some way, in the not-so-distant future.
In order for that to happen, you need to get those Facebook pages organized so that you can connect with them easily and regularly.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to organize your Facebook Page likes:
1. Go to a page you ‘like’.
I’m choosing The Mogul Mom’s page, since it is one of my favorite pages for entrepreneurs.
2. Click the ‘like’ button or if it is already ‘liked’, hover over the button.
3. Scroll down to + New List
4. Click Create New List
This is the page that you’ll be directed to.
At this time, if you want you can add some of the other pages you’d like to include in the list. If not, you can always add them later.
Click Next
5. Give Your List a Name
Make it simple and easy for you to remember what the pages in that list are all about.
Select the Privacy of the List. Mine are all set to Only Me.
6. Click Done
Now go ahead and simply add pages to the list or create new ones as you see fit.
The next time you ‘Like’ a page, hover over the Like button a little while, your lists will drop down and you can simply check off the lists you want to add the page to. Easy-peasy, isn’t it?
Also, when you hover over the ‘Liked’ button, uncheck Show in News Feed. The posts will continue to show up on the Interest List page without getting lost or clogging up your personal page news feed.
Now you can simply visit the Interest List page of your choice {it will show up in the left sidebar of your personal Home page} and interact with pages you want to build and nurture a relationship with. Whether it is blogs you want to guest post on, businesses you want to work with, or people you want to get inspired by, you can stay tuned with updates easily and without getting overwhelmed on a daily basis.

I have several pages and I never realized I can organize pages that I like. Thanks
You’re most welcome!! Glad you liked the post:-)
Thanks – I have just started with my Facebook Fan Page so I am excited I can get to it it correctly from the start. I have only like 10 or so other pages so it will be quick to go back and organize them as per your instructions.
Hi Meryl, you’re most welcome.. Glad that you found this useful!
Thanks so much, Prerna – this is so cool! But 1,600 likes? I only have 119 and that seems like too many. But now that I know how to organize them, watch out – I’ll be clicking ‘like’ all over the place!
🙂 You’re welcome Crystal and I know.. I ‘LIKE’ a lot of pages.. Blame it on the job!:-)
Hi: I have a personal page, and made a Group or Business Page from that
https://www.facebook.com/pages/SPED-Child-Teen-Disability-Events/131385006917398?ref=hl
My Group/Business page has “Liked” over 350 other pages. I need to list these likes
alphabetically, but can’t figure out if there is a way to do this. Can you help?
Thanks!
Hi Sharon! Thanks for stopping by.. I did do a bit of digging around to see if you could sort your PAGE likes alphabetically but unfortunately, that can’t seem to be done.. Sorry! If I come across anything different, I will be in touch:-)
Just recently discovered this feature; thank you for the post. Your method deals very well with new likes, provided I keep up with it. 🙂 The lists are great for keeping focused- business activity can be filtered to business, and home to home.
Just one question- How do you handle the 1600+ likes that you already have? I would really like a tool that lets me make sure they are all either on a list or no longer liked (and I would prefer that each one is on only one list… which is the part that’s causing me some issues). Every time I create a new list, all my likes are available to be added to the list, even if they are already on another list.
Bummer. I wish the stepped out instructions worked. But, with the FB changes, they aren’t.
Ahh.. Thanks for letting us know Heather! We’ll update this! 🙂
You didn’t update this.
Hey Anthony! SO sorry… We’re working on it! Thanks for bringing it to your attention!
Like someone above, just learned about this but thanks to FB changes it’s no longer possible.
How soon do you expect to update this page?
It’s unfortunate that FB seems to have done away with this useful feature. 🙁 Otherwise, I can’t find a way to organize my pages! I’d love to see a newsfeed of only music pages or restaurant pages, something like that. Am I missing something?
