Hello! I am just starting my business and have some question about FB. First, should I use my own FB page or create a new one. Second, how do I throw a facebook party. I don't use FB that much, so I don't know the ins and outs of it. Is there a site that gives step by steps on this sort of thing.

Thank you in advance for your help.
 
I would create a new page for you PC business. Keep personal and business separate :)There are a few facebook party threads in this forum if you search.
 
Hi there! Congratulations on starting your business! Using Facebook can be a great way to reach potential customers and promote your products or services. Here are some tips to help you get started:1. Personal vs Business Page: It's recommended to have a separate business page for your business, rather than using your personal profile. This will allow you to keep your personal and business content separate, and also give you access to additional features and insights for business pages. To create a business page, go to the "Create" button at the top right of your Facebook homepage and select "Page." From there, you can choose the type of page you want to create (e.g. Local Business, Brand or Product, etc.).2. Facebook Party: A Facebook party is a virtual event where you can showcase your products or services and engage with potential customers in real time. To throw a Facebook party, follow these steps:- Create an event on your business page by clicking on "Events" in the left menu.- Fill in the details of your event, such as the date, time, and description.- Invite people to your event by clicking on "Invite" and selecting the friends or followers you want to invite.- Create engaging posts and content leading up to the event to generate interest and excitement.- During the event, you can use Facebook Live to showcase your products or services, answer questions, and interact with participants.- Don't forget to follow up after the event with any new contacts or potential customers.3. Resources: Facebook has a variety of resources available to help businesses use their platform effectively. You can visit the Facebook for Business website for tips, tutorials, and best practices for using Facebook for marketing and promoting your business. You can also join Facebook groups for small business owners to connect with others and learn from their experiences.I hope this helps! Best of luck with your business and happy Facebooking!
 

1. How do I create a business page on Facebook?

To create a business page on Facebook, go to the homepage and click on the "Create" button at the top right corner. Then, select "Page" from the drop-down menu and choose the type of business you have. Follow the prompts to enter your business information, add a profile picture and cover photo, and customize your page with relevant details and content.

2. Do I need a personal Facebook account to create a business page?

Yes, you need to have a personal Facebook account in order to create a business page. This is because the business page is linked to your personal account and you will need to manage it through your personal account. However, your personal information will not be visible on your business page.

3. Can I sell products directly on my Facebook business page?

Yes, you can sell products directly on your Facebook business page by setting up a Facebook Shop. You will need to have a Facebook business page and a linked e-commerce platform such as Shopify or BigCommerce to set up the shop. Once it is set up, you can add and manage your products, process orders, and accept payments on your Facebook page.

4. How can I reach more potential customers on my Facebook business page?

There are several ways to reach more potential customers on your Facebook business page. You can use Facebook's advertising tools to run targeted ads, join and participate in relevant Facebook groups, collaborate with influencers or other businesses, and actively engage with your followers through posts, comments, and messages. Regularly posting high-quality and engaging content can also help attract more potential customers to your page.

5. Is it necessary to have a business plan before starting a business on Facebook?

Having a business plan is not a requirement for starting a business on Facebook. However, it is always a good idea to have a clear plan and strategy in place before launching your business on any platform. This can help you set realistic goals, target the right audience, and stay organized in managing your business on Facebook. You can also use Facebook's Insights and analytics tools to track your progress and make data-driven decisions for your business.
