If you have a business or you’re in a band and want to promote yourself on Facebook, use the Create a Page link on the main Facebook page to set up your business or band profile. Once you do that, you can use Facebook to increase business for yourself or awareness of your music. Here’s how you do it:
1. Sign out of Facebook if you are already signed in on your personal profile. Why? Because you may not want your public, business page associated with your personal page. It’s up to you but we think that it’s better to keep the two things separate.
2. At the bottom of the Facebook sign-in page you will see the Create a Page link. Here’s a photo of it:
3. Once you click on the link, you’ll have to decide what type of page you want. Facebook offers you six choices and you have to somehow fit your ‘hot yoga/disco/senior’s home’ business into one of them. Here’s what you see when you click on the Create a Page link:

6. After this is all finished, proceed to your profile and fill it out as you see fit. Add photos, videos, customer success stories, whatever you think will increase your business. Just remember that people are now watching you and your business. Don’t alienate your customers or fans by doing something that you will regret later. You’ve been warned!
