Facebook continues to change and frustrate users, and it seems that they are hindering business pages in particular. In an effort to get us to pay them money, they are making our posts nearly invisible to all of our followers.
If you’ve noticed that you no longer see updates from Couponing 101 in your news feed, it’s likely that Facebook has decided you don’t really want to see our updates so they are going to hide them from you! How crazy is that?!
On Christmas Eve I shared a Christmas greeting on the Couponing 101 Facebook page. Of the 57,000+ followers, a mere 461 of you saw the greeting!! Granted, it was Christmas Eve and fewer of you were on Facebook, but this number is not that much lower than our average daily post views.
As you can see, there is a handy little “boost post” option there so that I can pay Facebook an exorbitant fee to show my post to people who’ve already said they want to see our posts. Sigh.
There is a way around Facebook’s efforts to hide our posts though, and it will only take a few seconds of your time.
First, make sure you’ve “liked” our page. Just go to the Couponing 101 Facebook page and click the “like” button.
Next, click on the “follow” button (right next to the “like” button). Since Facebook thinks “liking” isn’t enough to suggest that you do indeed “like” something, they want you to take this extra step so that our updates will show up in your news feed.
Finally, when you see our updates in your news feed, be sure to “like” or comment on the posts occasionally. It will help Facebook to realize that you do indeed want to see our updates!
Now, hopefully, Couponing 101 Facebook updates will show up in your Facebook news feed! Please let us know if these suggestions have worked for you!

I see your post
THANK YOU for the tip via email!!
I see your posts all the time, but it's because I created a special list called "Frugal" where I grouped all my frugal-living Liked sites. Then I can switch from my regular "censored by FB" feed over to my "what I really want to know" feed.
i liked the page quite a while ago,,,,although i,m on FACEBOOK every day,,i can't remember when i have seen your posts!!!!!!!!!!!
I know, right?! :(
I have not been seeing it even though I liked the page a while back. I read the email. :)

Wow FB is indeed making things more difficult
