| This is a Facebook PAGE |
Last week not once but twice I had to explain the difference
between a profile and a page… so I thought it may be confusing to others as
well!
A Facebook profile is HOW you access Facebook and it is
about YOU! Back before Facebook had
pages people would create a profile for their business as well. It requires its
own email and password and can ONLY have up to 5,000 friends. (Also this is NOT
allowed for your business anymore)
Currently, Facebook allows you to create a PAGE for your
band or business. Pages have “Likes” and can have WAY more than 5,000. Multiple
people can also administer the page, so if you have a tech savy employee ( or
web site designer like me) They can articles and updates to your page AND you can
hide them, add to them and add your own!
Confusion with my customers last week came when they wanted
a login and password to their Facebook Business Page. YOU MUST HAVE A PERSONAL
PROFILE account to access your business
page. Neither of these customers have a profile and therefore they cannot login
directly to the page. This is NOT easy to explain to someone who does not
Facebook and I think they may be mad at me.
However – what any Admin can do is add ANYONE who has liked
the page as another admin. They must have a profile and a password to do this.
Another interesting thing I found out is that if one admin
takes out an ad for a page – only their Credit card – and no one but you can
approve a charge! ( they can email results of the ads to you though – AND you
can see what’s going on through your insights)
We will talk more about insights and advertising at another
time!
Anyway – I hope this clears it up for you – feel free to comment
and ask questions. Facebook is fluid and constantly changing, so things may be
different in the future!
