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.<\/p>\n

Why Have a Facebook Business Page?<\/h2>\n

As of writing, Facebook has over 2.19 billion monthly active users<\/strong> worldwide, so no serious Business out there will not have their own Facebook Business Page to get more market reach.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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<\/strong>, therefore you can expect better conversions or profit.<\/p>\n

Creating a Facebook Business Page is free and it’s really easy to do.<\/p>\n

So let’s get started…<\/p>\n

Step 1: Prepare Your Profile Picture<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

So have a picture of you ready to be uploaded from your computer.<\/p>\n

The ideal Facebook profile photo size is 360 x 360 pixels.<\/p>\n

For your AIMGLOBAL business<\/a>, I suggest that your Profile Picture should project you as competent, likable <\/strong>and\u00a0 influential<\/strong>. To test how your Profile Picture will come across to people you can use Photofeeler<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Prepare Your Cover Video or Photo<\/h2>\n

Your Facebook Page will also need you to upload a Cover Video or Photo. Usually you show here what your Page is all about.<\/p>\n

\"aimglobal-fb-covervideo\"

So have a Cover Video or Photo ready to be uploaded from your computer.<\/p>\n

For a Cover Photo<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n

WHERE TO GET FREE IMAGES?

\nYou can get free images from https:\/\/pixabay.com<\/a><\/strong>
\nJust make sure that you will choose images that can be used for commercial use and requires no attribution.

For a Cover Video<\/strong>, Facebook currently supports videos that are between 20 and 90 seconds long, and a minimum of 820 pixels wide by 320 pixels tall.<\/p>\n

For your AIMGLOBAL business<\/a>, learn how to download videos from YouTube<\/a> so you can download this AIMGLOBAL YouTube video<\/a>\u00a0and make it as your cover video.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Create Your Facebook Fan Page<\/h2>\n

Here are the detailed steps to creating a Facebook Fan Page:<\/p>\n

    \nFor your     AIMGLOBAL business<\/a> I strongly suggest the following format:

    \nSo for example, if your targeting the people of Lagos City in Nigeria, you should type-in

        3. Click the “Create Username<\/strong>” button.<\/li>\n
