Let’ s Get Started!

Step#1. Ascertain your vanity URL:A vanity URL is like a vanity license plate. It’s an easy way for others to know you are within a quick glance. Once your Facebook business page is published you can request your vanity URL. There is one criterion. You will need 25 likes to qualify.

Getting those 25 likes should be easy if you start inviting your friends and family to your page. Gaining your vanity URL will give you a page URL which looks like this. Once you have your Facebook Business Page URL (vanity) add it to all your marketing material. Your goal is to grow your followers and fans.

Step #2. Pin Your Post: Pin your best post or pin your welcome page. This means you can make one of your posts static. That way every person who visits your page will see the same first post. It’s simple. Once you create a post, right-click on the post, there you will see your options. Click on pin post and you’re set.

Step#3: Post relevant, timely information. So now you will want to start building your brand by posting relevant information.You can post images, posters, inspiration, or engaging content. But remember images and videos are viewed many more times than content. Today is the era of entertainment.

Additionally, experts recommend posting at least 1-2- pieces of content daily. Try to upload enough content to keep your page from looking vacant, abandon, or empty. No one wants to be the first person at the party.

Lastly, make certain your content, photos, and images are fun, informative, and engaging. Share the best information possible. Be helpful, informative, answer questions, and openly address criticism.
