Adding a Facebook Fan Page Should NOT Be Hard

October 5, 2009 By 6 Comments

So today I finally bit the “bullet” and decided to create a FaceBook Fan page. Funny, I don’t much feel like a celebrity; but I am very much into marketing and knew that down the road the 5,000 friend limit for my FaceBook profile would bit me in the butt.

Any how I wanted to get a vanity name because let’s face it…FaceBooks long as string of names for your fan page just doesn’t cut it. So first you have to find out even where to add a fan page.

Yup, check got that! Add a FaceBook Fan Page

Yes, it’s almost like setting up your regular site. Can have notes, etc.

Then you have to start getting fans so you can get the vanity name–hey I’m a celebrity–gotta have a vanity name right? So in your new Fan Page; click on Settings (top right). Click on change name and you should see a drop-down for your new page. Mine was called Holly Powell–what else? Right?

Now because I am already using hollypowell for my regular facebook profile I can’t use that for my fan page too. So I chose whoishollypowell and it worked!

But wait…you can’t get a vanity name for your fan page until you have 25 fans! Now if you want to know how to get 25 fans in less than 2 hours! You gotta comment on this post and I’ll turn you over to my secret star!

    Holly,

    I’m a mortgage broker just edging my way into social media. I have a fan page, and would very much like to figure out how to use it! It seems hard to share content that i find interesting, which is very easy to do on my main FB page. I have heard of people having their FB pages shut down by having too much marketing on them, so i really want to get the Fan Page rolling.

    In other words, I’ll take you up on your offer in this post!

    Hi Holly,

    Your timing is perfect. I was thinking about adding a fan page because that 5,000 mark is rapidly approaching. You just gave me the encouragement to move forward with it…Thanks!

    I have toyed with the idea of a fan page – but didn’t get there yet. Thanks for the info Holly. I believe I will take the plunge!
