In this video I explain what a Facebook page is, and how to sign up. The video is quick (under 4 minutes) and straight to the point. Enjoy!

The transcription of the video is below.

Hey everyone, it’s Shawn from Graticle Design. Today, I wanted to go over with you how to sign up for a Facebook page. In case you don’t already know how to. It’s actually different than what you’d see here where it says sign up its free, anyone can join. That’s actually a personal page. You want to click the Create a page for a celebrity, banner, or business — reason being it’s against Facebook guidelines otherwise, and they don’t want you to sign up for a business through a personal account because they don’t want you spamming everyone. So they give you the option to get a Facebook Page which is actually beneficial to you. This is because with a personal page you have a cap on a your friend’s list of five thousand people. On the other hand, for business having a personal page, you can have as many friends you’d like. And if you do go ahead and use a personal account for your business and Facebook finds out about it later, all of the work and reputation you built up during that time period is all gone. You will have to start completely over.

So let’s go ahead and create a page for your business. You have a couple options, we’re to go to local businesses, in particular, automotive. Go ahead and pick your category here. And enter the business name here, I am going to type in Bob’s Automotive. I don’t know in this business and I’m going to delete this right after I’m finished. Enter in the captcha and if you are authorized to do so, type your name there. So click Create A Page. If you do not already have a Facebook account this is where they are going to want you to create one. You can create one and if you don’t want a personal account created, you can go to Settings or Google it to learn how to make your profile completely private so no one can ever find it. I do recommend just creating one and networking with your friends and you’d be surprised that a lot of friends are already on there.

You are now going to be faced with a blank page, and this is where you get to edit everything. It’s really self explanatory as the entire Facebook website is. You can edit things such as your website, company overview, mission statement, when you opened, and features.

Thank you.
