How to Make a Facebook Page for your Business in 3 easy steps

First thing I tell all my clients is that you must, let me repeat MUST, have a separate Facebook page for your business from your personal Facebook page. It is mandatory because the privacy for individuals are different than companies on Facebook.com. Over the recent years, Facebook has made this easier to keep these pages separate. In the past business, pages were called Fan Pages. Now they’re often called Like Pages. We will call them Business Pages in this article.
