Starting with Facebook for Social Media

Anybody?

Hi, Stub!

Not a huge expert, but I am managing some FB pages.

I believe you have 2 options, when creating a Facebook page: a person or a business page - then business splits into other subcategories, inclusive website - which will not require physical address - one of the major differences.

Having a business account is way more complicated, than a regular one - but if you plan on using targeted Ads - this gives you tons of statistics and allows to best narrow your target audience, inclusive of uploading email lists. You can create A/B tests to see which ad works better, lookalike audience etc.

Mind you, business account is different from registering a business page . Business account is a whole other universe with all the ad stats and tools. Marketing tool, not a social platform. But you can still do everything you do with business page in it - inclusive posts.

You can create lots of pages and Facebook will tell you when you have gone astray from their rules. Just be mindful not to abuse personal page for business - they can ban you altogether for that.

You can have different versions of names in different pages - but you will have to feed them all with content and they will not be synched in any way, I am afraid, so kinda useless - just pick the best spelling. You can name your page right away, but then to get a user name you want /nice URL/, you have to have something like 10 likes on the page, I believe.

Hope this helps.

Just a small addition, that I just discovered. I have been inactive on one of my FB pages for over a month and got a notification: "visit your page or it will be unpublished". This is something new, as some of my older pages go untouched for months and months.. But his one had no fans at all - maybe this is why..

Most of my pages have zero everything. I have had pages taken away from me before. But it's probably been about 2 years since this last happened. They do usually give you fair warning, but it's usually quite short.

Kind fair enough - you don't use it you lose it. Happens for the first time to me. Will have to make sure some activity is there on a regular basis. Tnx for heads up!
