Where to start in Facebook
Create a business pageSign up for an account Start finding “friends”
321 Make a personal account with your name, not your business name. No need to fill in information about yourself unless you really want to, but keep in mind privacy concerns (Rule of thumb – don’t put anything on there you wouldn’t want the entire world to see or know about).
tOnce your account is setup, create an official page for your business. Here you can list information about what your business does and what it has to offer to customers. Also make sure to include your contact information, your hours of operation, and web page if you have one.
Use the Friend Finder function, which uses your address book to search for people you know that already have Facebook accounts. Once you collect friends on Facebook, look through their friends as well for potential mutual acquaintances. Facebook is all about making connections with others, so the more people you can get your message out to, the better.
