Setting Up A Facebook Page
Hi everyone, and welcome to the Facebook module! Facebook is still a powerhouse for connecting with people in your local area. In this lesson, we're going to walk you through setting up your Facebook Business Page properly – this is different from your personal profile and it's essential for your business."
"Think of your Facebook Business Page as your shop window online. It's where potential customers can find out about you, see what you offer, and get in touch."
"First things first, you'll need a personal Facebook account to create a Business Page, but don't worry, your personal information won't be publicly linked to your business page unless you choose to."
"To create a page, go to facebook.com/pages/create. You'll be asked for a 'Page Name' – this should be the name of your business. Then you'll need to choose a 'Category' – pick the one that best describes what you do (e.g., 'Local Business', 'Restaurant', 'Hair Salon')."
"You'll also be prompted to add a 'Profile Picture' and a 'Cover Photo'. Your profile picture is usually your logo. Your cover photo is the big image at the top – this could be a photo of your shop, your team, or a happy customer. Make sure these look professional and are the right size (Facebook will give you recommendations)."
"Finally, fill in all the other details like your website address, phone number, opening hours, and address. The more information you provide, the easier it is for people to find and contact you."
"Remember, keep your language friendly and approachable – like you're talking to someone face-to-face."
Homework Task: "Your homework for this lesson is to either create your Facebook Business Page if you haven't already, or to go through your existing page and make sure all the information is complete and up-to-date. Pay particular attention to your 'About' section, profile picture, and cover photo."
Great job! Getting your Facebook Business Page set up correctly is the first crucial step. In the next lesson, we'll look at how to create your first engaging posts. See you there!
