Introduction
- Facebook is the most popular social networking site in the world, with over 200 million registered users. Creating Facebook fan pages has become a popular way to get your product, business or idea into the minds of those users. Facebook fan pages allow you to network and connect with those outside of your immediate circle of Facebook friends, without necessarily revealing a lot of your personal information. You can use this easy-to-follow guide to make a Facebook fan page.
Step 1: Login to Facebook
- You must logon to the Facebook site to access the pictures that you wish to tag.
- Go to www.facebook.com
- Enter your username and password to login to your page
Step 2: Go to the Advertising section
- Once you have logged in, scroll down to the very bottom of the page and locate the small "Advertising" link on the bottom right.
- Click through to the "Advertising" landing page.
- Select the "Pages" option from the toolbar that appears at the top of the page (underneath the main toolbar). You will see a small flag icon to the immediate left of the "Pages" link.
- Click the green button that says "Create a Page."
- You will now be taken to the page that will allow you to actually make a Facebook fan page.
Step 3: Create your page
- Actually making your Facebook fan page involves several steps.
- Designate the category for your Facebook page. Your choices will be "Local," "Brand, Product or Organization" or "Artist, Band or Public Figure." Depending on what option you choose, additional categories will appear in a drop-down. You should then choose the most relevant category.
- Enter the name of the thing for which you are creating the Facebook fan page. This will also become your page name.
- Confirm that you have the authority to create the page.
- Click "Create Page."
Step 4: Design your page
- Once you have created your Facebook fan page, you will need to add photos and information in order to make it a page that Facebook users will want to visit as well as give them information.
- Upload a profile picture by selecting that option at the top of the page.
- Make sure you choose a picture that represents your product, business or idea. Review it to make sure that it looks good in a thumbnail version, since that will be the image most visible on Facebook.
- Add information about your product, business or idea via the "Add information to this Page" link underneath your profile picture to make sure people visiting your page will have as much information as possible. If you are creating a fan page for something with an associated website, link to that site. If you are creating a page for a restaurant, make sure to include the address and phone number.
- Make your page dynamic and engaging by adding applications.
Step 5: Publish your page
- Your Facebook fan page is not yet live until you click the "Publish this Page" link.
- Once published, visit the "Edit Page" link to change your settings (such as age restrictions) as desired.
- Don't forget to become a fan of your page from your personal page!
