Getting started with the Facebook page

The link on the Facebook sign-up pageThe first challenge is to set up our new Recorded Devilery business page in Facebook and the starting point for this is the “create a page for a celebrity, band or business” link at the bottom of the sign up form.

Next come a number of choices for the way the page is classified, if you’re running a local business, like many of the small retailers and other companies that we represent then the first choice is the one for you. Businesses that deal with a wider client base might prefer to choose the “brand, product or organisation” choice and public figures and celebrities would choose the third choice.

Having completed the form, which is pretty self-explanatory the next stage is to create a Facebook account if you don’t already have one, this involves filling in your email address and receiving a confirmation email. Click on the link in the confirmation email and you’ll be taken to your brand new company Facebook page, which won’t look very impressive to start with, but it’s a start!!

I would say that both Twitter and Facebook have reached that point in the U.S.A and are about to do so in the UK and Europe.
