4 Steps to a Facebook Fan Page

Because I am a one person design studio, I often go from social media development to keyword strategies to html coding to selecting frizzy hair in Photoshop sometimes all in the same hour. So I make very short lists to quickly remind myself how to do technical somersaults. This first Quick List is on how to set up a Facebook Fan Page.

  1. Log into your PERSONAL FB account;
  2. CREATE the new page by going to http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php and choose what type of page you'll be creating;
  3. EDIT the page by adding a profile photo, info, photo gallery, an event, etc;
  4. SUGGEST all your friends become fans, left-hand button "Suggest to Friends";
  5. Create a USERNAME when you have 25 fans by going to: http://www.facebook.com/username/

You're Done! But there's always lots more to learn. See the links, below for details.
