How to Properly Create a Facebook Fan Page for Your Business

In this post, I will show you the step-by-step on how to create and set-up a Facebook Fan page for your business. But first, let us ask why you need one.

Why Have a Facebook Business Page?

As of writing, Facebook has over 2.19 billion monthly active users worldwide, so no serious Business out there will not have their own Facebook Business Page to get more market reach.  

For your AIM Global business, you will use Facebook Business Page to post all marketing campaigns that include your Affiliate Links so you can earn sales commissions (and recruit downlines if you are already a Distributor member) —even without paying for Facebook Ads until you are ready. 

The real idea of having a Facebook Business Page is to allow you to build a growing number of followers including those who are not in your Facebook friends list. Having your followers grow in huge number and in one place it’s much easier for you to launch laser targeted marketing campaigns, like posting your Affiliate Links, therefore you can expect better conversions or profit.

Creating a Facebook Business Page is free and it’s really easy to do.

So let’s get started…

Step 1: Prepare Your Profile Picture

Your Facebook Page will need you to upload your Profile Picture. The Profile Picture is going to be shown in public and identifies you as the Page administrator or the author when you are commenting.

Profile Picture in Your Facebook Page

So have a picture of you ready to be uploaded from your computer.

The ideal Facebook profile photo size is 360 x 360 pixels.

For your AIMGLOBAL business, I suggest that your Profile Picture should project you as competent, likable and  influential. To test how your Profile Picture will come across to people you can use Photofeeler.

Step 2: Prepare Your Cover Video or Photo

Your Facebook Page will also need you to upload a Cover Video or Photo. Usually you show here what your Page is all about.

Cover Video or Photo in Your Facebook Page

So have a Cover Video or Photo ready to be uploaded from your computer.

For a Cover Photo, optimize it to the right dimensions: 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall for desktop, 640 pixels wide by 360 pixels tall for mobile. If your uploaded image is smaller than these dimensions, Facebook will stretch it to fit — making it look blurry.

WHERE TO GET FREE IMAGES?

You can get free images from https://pixabay.com
Just make sure that you will choose images that can be used for commercial use and requires no attribution.

For a Cover Video, Facebook currently supports videos that are between 20 and 90 seconds long, and a minimum of 820 pixels wide by 320 pixels tall.

For your AIMGLOBAL business, learn how to download videos from YouTube so you can download this AIMGLOBAL YouTube video and make it as your cover video.

Step 3: Create Your Facebook Fan Page

Here are the detailed steps to creating a Facebook Fan Page:

  5. Type-in the Page Name for your business.
    For your AIMGLOBAL business I strongly suggest the following format:
    AIM Global, City Name, Country Name.
    So for example, if your targeting the people of Lagos City in Nigeria, you should type-in
    “AIM Global, Lagos City, Nigeria”.
    For my case, I typed-in “AIM Global, Salt Lake City, USA”.
  6. Under the Category field, type-in the industry of your business.
    For your AIMGLOBAL business I strongly suggest that you put “Vitamins/Supplements“.
  7. Click the “Continue” button.
  8. Click the “Skip” button for now because you  will upload the Profile Picture in the following steps so you can also learn how to change it.
  9. Click the “Skip” button because you will upload the Cover Video or Photo in the following steps so you can also learn how to change it.

  1. Just under your profile photo, click the “Create Page @username” link.
  2. In the Username field, type-in a username for your fan page. Allowed characters only include alpha numeric and a dot symbol.

For example, since I am targeting Salt Lake City, my fan page username is “aimglobal-saltlake”.
  3. Click the “Create Username” button.
  4. On the success message, click the “OK” button.

Step 7: Add a Call to Action Button

The Call to Action button sits prominently just at the bottom of your Fan Page cover photo or video. So it’s a good opportunity to get clicks to your affiliate link through this button.

Here’s how to add your call to action button:
