00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:03,840
In this video you are going to learn how to set up a Facebook page.

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,390
It's going to take less than five minutes.

3
00:00:06,390 --> 00:00:10,610
It's absolutely free to do and it's very straightforward.

4
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:16,830
So the first thing that you want to do is go ahead and go to Facebook dot com on what you do here is

5
00:00:16,830 --> 00:00:20,760
really just log in with your normal personal profile.

6
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:27,190
It's actually inside of our personal profile that we create a Facebook page for a business or brand.

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:33,210
If you don't have a Facebook personal profile Well then you can just go ahead and set one up here and

8
00:00:33,210 --> 00:00:34,260
then log in.

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:39,510
So just log in normally to Facebook once you've got that set up.

10
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:45,630
Now what we actually do is come up to the top right hand corner here click on the dropdown and here

11
00:00:45,630 --> 00:00:48,910
we're going to see the opportunity to create a page.

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,550
And now pops up the six different options that we have.

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:01:00,140
So when we're creating a page we want to really select one of these six options.

14
00:01:00,150 --> 00:01:06,810
You see local business or place company organization or institution brand or product artists band or

15
00:01:06,810 --> 00:01:09,460
public figure entertainment cause or community.

16
00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:14,010
And there actually isn't a huge amount of difference between all of these choices so you don't need

17
00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:16,380
to worry about this too much.

18
00:01:16,650 --> 00:01:22,920
But if you are a local business for example you'll have the opportunity to put in a local address phone

19
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:23,820
number.

20
00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:25,780
You can even enable reviews.

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,000
And so each page has a couple of different settings.

22
00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:35,540
But really it doesn't make a huge difference what option you choose for a business.

23
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:40,190
I'm going to pick this here this option for a company or organization.

24
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:42,220
Now I can choose my category.

25
00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:48,140
So I'm just going to set this as education set in the company name.

26
00:01:48,210 --> 00:01:57,740
I can do just put in my company name there for this video I'm just going to set up a demo account so

27
00:01:57,740 --> 00:01:58,810
click gets started

28
00:02:02,270 --> 00:02:05,800
and then I'm brought straight into my Facebook page.

29
00:02:06,110 --> 00:02:13,040
Once inside the next step is then to click on Create page username and typically you're just going to

30
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,480
put your business name where the page name as the user name.

31
00:02:17,570 --> 00:02:23,690
And one important thing to understand about this is that your user name will actually form part of the

32
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,910
custom you IRL that you have on Facebook.

33
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:34,670
So it's going to be Facebook dot com forward slash your username rather than your page name.

34
00:02:34,670 --> 00:02:40,490
And that's why you want to make it as close to your page name as possible and you want to keep it pretty

35
00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:45,890
short if you can so that it's easy to say in a conversation to maybe a customer or you can find us on

36
00:02:45,890 --> 00:02:48,910
Facebook account for it slash whatever it is.

37
00:02:49,130 --> 00:02:52,040
So to make this clear let me give you an example.

38
00:02:52,190 --> 00:02:57,500
There's kind of type in my business name and this example to set up a demo.

39
00:02:57,570 --> 00:03:01,630
And as you can see this may happen for you as well this season isn't available.

40
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,520
Please enter your username that isn't already taken.

41
00:03:04,540 --> 00:03:05,830
No easy work around.

42
00:03:05,850 --> 00:03:13,230
This is just to put an official at the end and not is available in an I can go ahead and create this

43
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:13,960
username

44
00:03:17,060 --> 00:03:17,660
and there we go.

45
00:03:17,660 --> 00:03:22,840
It's really that simple to set up a page for a business or brand on Facebook.

46
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,880
And once again to do for yourself log into your Facebook personal private profile.

47
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,750
Come then in the top right hand corner and click Create page.
