Is it asking you to log in to your business page? Or are you already logged in to your business account?

I have the same problem as Luisa: When I try to enter in the city, a pop-up box opens and it wants me to login, but I was logged out of my personal account.

First of all, a business page doesn’t allow you to have friends, so you want to open a personal page with your own name and focus it on telling your friends about your cooking classes. Then add all the friends you can from your city. The best way to do this is to add friends from the people that facebook suggests. You find these suggested new friends in the right-hand side of the page (at least in the U.S.). You can click on a link that says something like “show all.” Then you can add many people who live in your city or visit your city often, by adding the people who are mutual friends with people who are already your facebook friends who live in your city. You can also look for groups that are interested in cooking and join those groups and tell them about your cooking lessons. You can even start your own new group and give it the name you give to your cooking lessons, for example, “Mary’s Cooking Lessons.” Then you tell all your facebook friends about your group and ask them to join. Good luck! Marian

Are you logged into your personal account? You need to be logged out of it when you’re working on your business account.

Hi, Alex–For the best answer, of course, you need to go to facebook help. But I’ll share my experience.

When I opened my OcicatStudio page, I was presented with the option to update to the new business-page design. I did so. So how to do things has changed a bit. That’s why I won’t point out where exactly you will find “Photos.”

Click on “Photos” on your Page. If you have uploaded a logo, that image will show. Since I’ve already added a couple of albums, I can’t see how the options will appear on your page when you haven’t added albums. However, here are the possibilities: 1. It may say add album. If so, you can create albums. 2. It may say add photos. Then you will get the option to make them into an album. 3. If you click on your logo photo/image, you will get the option to add photos. Then you can make an album out of that (worst prospect).

I don’t know where you’re offering your products. If you have an Etsy shop, you can add fb’s Etsy application. If you’re with another company, check to see if they have a widget you can show on fb. Zazzle has one, although I didn’t care for it when I used it before in my personal account. But it may have improved since then.

Good luck!

I want to show customers what type of products are available and want to display this in 1 album per category, i.e. accessories, shoes, etc.

Can someone tell me how I can create an album section/ tab on my page? Thank!

I’ve been trying to set up a business page, but when I try to enter in the city, state, a pop-up box opens and it wants me to login. But I don’t have a FB profile?

go to “accounts”, on top right header field of your personal profile, and select “use facebook as page” on the drop down menu. You can then switch your identity. This is a new feature to facebook and now allows you to post likes and links to your business colleagues as your business profile and not your personal profile. About time too!

Hello Everyone

I have set up a FB page for my small business. I sell paintings, and I am also an art instructor. Currently I have my FB page listed as People – Artist. I am also helping the store that hired me with their FB page, listed under Arts/Entertainment/Nightlife (Local Business Page)

I can’t seem to find any way to contact Facebook to as my questions, so I will post here, in hopes to find an answer.

1) For the local business page, is there a way to add in Reviews? So people can rate their experience, and add comments? I’ve seen it on other pages, but no matter how much I look, I can’t find a way to do it for this page.

2) On both pages, I can’t seem to edit the tabs at all. I’m also wondering, (seeing how I am a n00bie with this) should I change my category?

Thank you for your time and consideration!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Namaste
-Sadie

I tried five times to set up a business page. The first hurdle is that you have to tie it to your cell phone. I never use texting, for budgetary reasons. Then it said I needed 25 fans. And the starting URL was ridiculous. Now I’m just going to add a business page.

For those who are trying to add a business account when you already have a personal account: fb doesn’t allow one to have more than one account. So I guess you can’t have your own name anywhere on your business account.
