In order to have a Facebook Business you first need to have a personal account. This can all be done from a smartphone but it’s best done on a computer.
Steps for creating a new Facebook account:
1: Type Facebook.com into your browser
2: Complete the “Create a new Account” form
3: Enter your email address or use a phone number where you can accept text messages.
4: Write your password down somewhere.
5: Check your email or phone to authenticate the account.
Create a Facebook Business Page:
1: Look along the lefthand side of the page and click on the “Pages” tab.
2: In the upper right click “Create Page”
3: Follow the prompts to create your page.
4: Facebook will prompt you to fill in the fields.
5: You’ll be asked to upload two photos. The circular “profile photo” should be your logo. A photo of the front of your shop or inside of your shop could work for the banner at the top of your page.
6: When filling in the blanks, do whatever you can to get people off of Facebook and to your website. 7: Anything you fill in should be timeless and something you don’t have to update regularly. Don’t say: The business started three years ago. Instead say: The business was started in 2016.
