How to Set up a Facebook Business Page
Everyone is talking about Facebook and how you need to use Facebook in your marketing arsenal. But how? Why can’t you use just your personal Facebook page?
Your personal page is just that – personal. You can have your personal contacts on your business page and should, but not the other way around. Your business clients do not need to see last night’s party pictures – or random posts from well meaning friends. However, to set up a Business Page, you must first have a Facebook personal page.
Whether your personal page is new or has been around for awhile, to set up your new Business Page, scroll down to the bottom of your page and click “HELP”. Yes, really.
Once “Help” opens up, find Ads and Business Solutions, then under that heading, click the yellow flag “Business Page”.
This takes you to yet another page where the first link you see is “Creating and administering your Page”.
The next page is a list of questions and you want to click “How can I create a Page?” Once that opens up, click “Here”. That will take you the start up for your Business Page.
Or if you are already signed into your Facebook personal page, click or copy this link – Facebook Business Page – and take it from there.
You will be a “local business” and the drop down menu includes real estate agents. You will want to link your blog, website and most everything you have to your business Facebook page because you want everyone to “Like” you so they will see the fabulously useful information every time you post. This includes property listings and other marketing materials and tip ideas you want to pass along. Easy and highly cost effective way of also staying infront of your clients. But don’t depend solely on that – just a minute part of what you need to have at your finger tips. Also, don’t forget to “Like” resources for your Business page posts, too.
