efore you start devising Facebook advertising strategies, you’ll have to set up a Facebook business page.

A Facebook business page is necessary to create content, share contact information, build a product catalog, link to your website, communicate with current and potential customers… basically, a lot of important things.

If you have a busy schedule and a limited budget, you’ll be happy to know it’s absolutely free and hardly takes a few minutes. But if you have some extra money, you can also use paid marketing strategies like Facebook ads and sponsored posts.

Here’s how you set up a Facebook business page:

  1. Make sure you’re logged in to your personal account
  2. Head over to facebook.com/pages/create. Don’t worry, your personal information won’t appear on your business page
