My #1 goal here is to make YOU a better Facebook Marketer.



Maybe you've created a Facebook business

page before -- or maybe

you haven't --


or maybe you created one in haste and aren't sure you did everything

right.


Today, I want to walk you through the process of

how to create a Facebook Business Page the right

way.

get Lets

STARTED!


{ } 1 Go to "Create Page" Link


There are lots of ways to get

to this page, but I'll make it

easy for you. Just click here:

https://www.facebook.com

/pages/create/


Log in using your

Facebook Account.


{ } 2 Choose a Page Type


Choose one of the following:

1 Local Business or Place

2 Company, Organization or Institution

3 Brand or Product


Choose one of the following:

4 Artist, Band or Public Figure

5 Entertainment

6 Cause or Community


You'll need to decide

which page type is best

for you as each type has

different benefits &

drawbacks. heartiequeen.wordpress.com | Your Stellar Virtual Professional Partner 16

Lets choose Local Business or Place


{ } 3 Choose a Category


If you choose a page type

other than Cause or

Community, then you'll

need to choose a

Category for your page.


You're category is VERY important with Graph Search -- so choose wisely so people can find you easier.


Just click the dropdown

and you'll be given plenty

of choices.


For this tutorial, lets choose Business Services.


{ } 4 Choose a Business Name


Its pretty siple -- yet SUPER important.

Enter your exact business

name here.


Keep in mind that people need to be able to find your business in Graph Search -- so choose the name people know you by.


If your page name is too

generic, Facebook could

take it over as a

"Community" page --

which limits the page

features. heartiequeen.wordpress.com | Your Stellar Virtual Professional Partner 27


Enter your address & phone

number

Entering an address &

phone number is only

necessary if you select

"Local Business or Place"


-- all other page types

require only the Category

& Business name.


{ } 5 Agree to Facebook Pages Terms


To proceed further in

creating your business

page you must agree to

Facebook's terms.


It's a good idea to read over these terms every few months, as Facebook is constantly tweaking them.


Inside the Facebook Pages Terms you'll find out information regarding:

1 Page Administration

2 Content

3 Page Management



4 Page Names

5 Collection of Data

6 Page Features



7 Advertising on Pages

8 Cover Photos

9 Apps on Pages



10 Offers

11 Promotion Guidelines


As a page owner, this

information should

definitely stay familiar

with.


{ } 6 Click Get tarted


Now that you've

followed the first 5 steps,

it's time to "Get Started".

So click the blue button.


So, click the blue button


{ } 7 Set Up Page


Heres where the fu starts!


You can choose to fill out

this info or you can skip

it. The best thing to do is

fill it out now.


The info will show up on

your "About" page and in

the "About" section on

your page's Timeline.


Youll eed to eter the followig:

1 Category -important in Graph Search)

2 Add a Description -your About Section in your Timeline

3 Website -how to find you online outside Facebook


Facebook then asks you

"Is XYZ business a real

establishment, business

or venue"? Check Yes

anyway.


Once you select Yes, Facebook

will ask you "Will XYZ business

be the authorized and official

representation of this

establishment, business or

venue on Facebook?". heartiequeen.wordpress.com | Your Stellar Virtual Professional Partner 49

Check Yes -- unless you're

setting up a fan page for a TV

show or celebrity and aren't

the official brand

representative.


Once you're finished

with the above info,

you'll see something

like this:


Notice how I selected

multiple categories and

Facebook gives me

more to choose from.


Select the ones that

apply & click the "Save

Info" button.


{ } 8 Add Profile Picture


Your image needs to be

at least 180 pixels wide

in order for Facebook

to accept it.


Upload your image

from your computer or

import from website


Click here to import

from website


Enter your URL here and click

Import


Then, click Next


{ } 9 Add to Favorites


Facebook will now walk

you through a few

steps.


The first one directs

you to add your Page to

Favorites


Adding your Page to

your Favorites means

that you can easily

access it anytime


Click Add to Favorites


Then, click Next


{ } 10 Preferred Page Audience


This is a great way to get

your initial burst of

Likes.


Facebook will ask you of

your preferred target

audience.


Include geographical

location (country,

state/province, ZIP)


Or, simply drop pin on

the map to include

locations


Choose your Preferred

Page Audience in terms

of Age, Gender and

Interest


Then, click Save


{ } 11 Like your Page


Facebook will now

walk you through a

few steps.


Everything you need to

manage your Page is in

these tabs


Then it directs you to

Like your Page


Click Skip if you aren't

ready for people to see

your page, it's probably

best to hold off on

Liking it just yet. heartiequeen.wordpress.com | Your Stellar Virtual Professional Partner 82

{ } 12 Invite your Facebook Friends & Email Contacts


This is a great way to

get your initial burst of

Likes.


But as mentioned above,

if your page isn't 100%

ready for primetime then

hold off on inviting

people just yet.


{ } 13 Share Something


At this point, Facebook

considers your Business

Page ready to go &

encourages you to share

a status update to your

Timeline. heartiequeen.wordpress.com | Your Stellar Virtual Professional Partner 89

But if you don't have any

Likes yet, no one will see

it -- unless they come to

your Timeline later.


You might consider

posting a "Welcome"

image or greeting.


{ } 14 Add a Cover


Facebook doesn't prompt

you to upload a cover

photo like it does on all

of the other setup

features. heartiequeen.wordpress.com | Your Stellar Virtual Professional Partner 94

But you should definitely

add a cover to your page

-- otherwise it looks like

it's not ready for

business. heartiequeen.wordpress.com | Your Stellar Virtual Professional Partner 95

Your cover needs to be

851 pixels wide, 315

pixels tall & less than 100

kb to get the best load

time. heartiequeen.wordpress.com | Your Stellar Virtual Professional Partner 97
