How do you make a facebook page for a business?

Answer 1

Depending upon whether you want to make a static landing page or a flash page will determine how you approach this

For a standard facebook page for business follow these instructions:

1. Add the Static FBML App

The tabs at the top of your Facebook Fan Page are apps. Some, like your wall and photos are built into Facebook. Others are essentially plug-ins where fans can view external content. The app you need for your custom page is "Static FBML," . If you're logged into Facebook, you can add it to your Page. It is essentially a blank canvas where you can add whatever content you want, including custom graphics and links via standard HTML.

2. Set Up Your Tab

Once you've added the Static FBML app, click "Edit Page" below your company's profile image. This will bring up all your settings and apps. Look for the FBML app and click the "Application Settings" link.

The app can function in two ways: As a set of boxes, or as one dedicated profile tab. If you're building a splash page, you'll probably want to use it as a tab, so go ahead and make sure that the "Box" setting is removed, and the "Tab" setting is added. You can always experiment with boxes later if you find them more useful.

3. Add Your Content

Once you're in tab mode, go back to your settings and click the "Edit" link under the Static FBML app. This opens a standard text field where you can add your content.

The main text field is where your content goes, and you can add standard HTML to the page as you would any website, including images, text, links, and other formatting. No need for HTML, BODY, or HEAD tags.

Note that your images must be hosted elsewhere (on your company's website, for example) and only referenced in your HTML code.

4. Make It the Default Landing Page

If you want this new tab to be the "face" of your business Fan Page, head back over to your page settings and edit your "Wall Settings." There is an option for "Default Landing Tab for Everyone Else." From that menu, select your new tab.

Answer 2

Same way and reason you started your business site or blog. Choose your keywords, set up a fan page named to target those words, then use the iframe app (static iframe tab is good) to import your HTML code. Process takes less than 30 mins.

Then you have a business site embedded in a social network.

Answer 3

There are tons of ways but top approaches are (but not limited):

- Facebook Ads (truthfully - these aren't affordable for start-ups from an ROI perpsective)

- Forming Facebook groups on subject matter

- Designing a Facebook APP geared towards marketing

- Commenting on like Facebook groups and dropping your website link into the comment

- VIDEOS! These, properly tagged and open to EVERYONE are a traffic BOOM.

Hope this helps
