I have a YA book blog that I've been running with two friends for a while. Sometime last year I made a facebook page for it.
It's set up as a page for a website. It's set up to be tied to me and another reviewer at the blog so we can update it. The facebook page is pretty much used to post links to new posts to keep people updated, and I've never actually imported a review to facebook. I post some pictures and stuff to it too. We actually don't have many likes but we have more regular visitors on the blog then we have likes on facebook, because not everyone is on there, you know?
That leads to twitter. I know that's not what this topic is about, but if you don't have a twitter for your page I recommend it! You can follow all of your favorite authors, and I don't know about yours but some of my favorites have some really interesting updates. You can also follow your favorite publishing houses (I follow Simon&Schuster, Random House, Scholastic, Harper Collins, Penguin and all of their teen/children divisions on twitter) for news on upcoming books and such. I also have a lot more followers on twitter then on facebook.
I also like twitter probably better because I post links to pictures, links to news articles and links to the new blog posts but I've also talked to authors and readers- I think it's a lot more interactive. Books4Hearts twitter page is here: twitter.com/books4hearts
Anyway, I don't know all the secrets but that's what I have to tell.
