Want to create your own Facebook Fan page for yourself, your business or your website? It is easy to do – if you know the right places to look. I recently created one to help promote my various projects, and now I want to help you do the same. This is my guide on how to setup and create a Facebook Fan Page.

Getting Started with the Facebook Fan Page

If you have never created a Facebook Fan Page before, the place you want to start Facebook Pages. Once there, click the “Create Page” button in the upper right hand corner of the web page.

Basic Facebook Fan Page Information Help

Next, you can choose to create an official page or a community page. Official pages are controlled by one (or a team) of people on your end and is the route you will probably take. The community pages are more for a cause or an idea, like the “I Love Toast!” fan page. The scary thing is, that might exist.

Depending on what your Facebook Fan Page will be about, you will need to select:

Local Business
Brand, Product or Organization
Artist, Band or Public Figure

Then in the drop down box, you will choose another classification for yourself. For example, you could select that you are a Brand, Product or Organization and then choose Website. This just helps Facebook organize your placement and also will help others find your Facebook Fan Page within Facebook itself.

Naming Your Facebook Fan Page

Type your page name in next. Keep it short, descriptive and to the point. Click the check mark box saying that you are an official representative and blah blah blah, then click the “Create Official Page” button. Your new Facebook Fan Page has been created. Now you can go in there, and start customizing it, inviting friends and more. I will touch on that topic another day.

Hope this helps you when it comes to creating your own Facebook Fan Page. Remember, you are all invited to come join my own Facebook Fan Page I created for all my various projects. Come join in on the fun at Mitch’s Projects on Facebook for more Mitch-like goodness.

Firefox Basics You Probably Forgot

I have been working hard at building up a better “basics” section for Firefox Facts. With all the news about Firefox 3 and all the people wanting to tweak the browser to fit their needs I think we sometimes forget that there are a lot of new people coming into the mix everyday.
