I’ve been getting quite a few emails lately from fans of The Healthy Home Economist Facebook page inquiring as to why they are no longer receiving status updates from my page in their newsfeed.
Unfortunately, the ability of Facebook pages such as mine to reach fans has been steadily diminishing in recent months due to Facebook algorithm changes. Â Now, a new Facebook page design is imminent which apparently decimates Facebook reach even further according to page administrators that have already switched over to the new design.
Select “Get Notifications” From the “Liked” Button Dropdown Menu
It seems that the best way to ensure that you stay connected to the Facebook pages you enjoy is to make sure that you go to that page and select “Get Notifications” from the dropdown box that appears when you click the “Liked” button. The large green arrow in the screenshot above shows you exactly what to click on The Healthy Home Economist Facebook page.
I was informed this afternoon that The Healthy Home Economist Facebook page will be switched over to the new page design within a few days, so I am taking the step of writing a blog post about it so that those of you who wish to continue to receive status updates from The Healthy Home Economist page can select “Get Notifications” in advance of the change.
Liking, Sharing and/or Commenting on Facebook Posts Keeps That Page in Your Newsfeed
Another way to ensure you get status updates is to like, comment and/or share posts from The Healthy Home Economist FB page on a regular basis when you see them in your newsfeed. Â Interacting with a page’s posts and/or selecting “Get Notifications” as shown in the screenshot above is the best bet for a smooth transition to the new design with no interruptions.
I hope you find this Facebook tip helpful and let’s all hope for a noneventful changeover to the new page design. Â If you have any feedback about the Facebook posts you enjoy most and which ones you find most helpful, please let me know in the comments section.

I tried to check ‘get notifications’ on your fb page and it won’t check the box!
I HATE facebook. It seems everyone has switched though and post go out to FB before they come into my inbox, or the blogs I follow seem to do Fb and blog posts have gone by the wayside.
maybe if we all just boycott FB!
Sorry, this reply was to Kerry.
Please keep me in your newsfeed
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the information about FB changes. I clicked on the liked “button” on your page,but it does not look like your screen shot. It does not have the option to “get notifications” What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
Karen
Not sure what might be the problem. Are you logged in? If you are, just click on the “liked” button and the pulldown menu will appear with “get notifications” as an option. Perhaps ask a friend who can show you in person.
Hi Sarah. I have an almost 14 month old who is sick for the first time since he was born. I make homemade baby formula with raw milk,he is eating a grain free diet all organic. I do not vax. He has s fever which I am letting run its course. He has a cough,goopy eyes,runny nose and diarrhea. Been using lavender,Melrose and purification on outer ear,putting garlic infused oil in his ears. Nothing is helping. I even gave extra doses of FCLO. Anything else I can try..baths,other supplements? Help!
