How to Start a Business

Now that we talked about landing pages for your Facebook ads, I wanted to show you how to build a Facebook fan page.  Remember, people have profiles and friends.  Businesses have pages and fans.  In addition to using a fan page as a landing page (as we discussed in my last post), a fan page is important to make it easy for users to find you and as a viral marketing tool.  Your fan’s friends will see that their friends are following you, and hopefully they will follow you too.

Facebook, for some reason, makes it hard to find the add fan page area.  Goto the bottom of any Facebook page and you will see a button that says Advertising, see below….

After clicking that, the screen below will pop up, and you will need to click the button that says Pages.

Finally, we are getting close.  The page below is an index page that offers some advice areas and the big green button for Create a Page.

After clicking the green button, the screen below pops up.  You are now actually creating a fan page.  The first question asks you to select a category, from many choices.  If you have a restaurant, select local.  If you are a consultant, select public figure.  After that, you select the name of the group, and you are done.  From there, the fan page will be displayed and be ready for you to add content…….

Great Facebooking!
