1. Follow these simple instructions from Facebook.

First up, you select the purpose of your Facebook Like Page (out of: Local Business or place/ Company, organsation or institution/ Brand or product/ Artist, band or public figure/ Entertainment/ Cause or Community).

Next up, choose a category, and enter your brand or product name.

Log in with your personal Facebook profile to officially create the page - you can then upload a profile image, invite your friends to be fans and enter some information about the page (that will show up in the info tab).

 

2. Get creative with LikeIt! Facebook page applications

So, by following the instructions so far you'll have successfully created a bog-standard Facebook Page. But you're looking for something more, right? You want your Facebook page to market your business BETTER than the competition.

This is where our LikeIt! applications come in. They allow you to create individual tabs within your Page, giving you greater scope to discuss in detail what your business can do and offer. You're completely in control of the design, and what content you'd like to feature. With the choice of text, images, videos, downloads, flash animations...

Browse through our applications to find out what they could do for YOUR Facebook Like Page! And remember, once you've signed up for one application, the rest are free.

3. Conversation, engagement, following

This is where the real power of using Facebook comes in. With over 750 million users, 50% of whom log in every single day, the marketing potential is huge.

Start a conversation and engage with your fans by asking questions on your wall, running competitions, offering promotions, or linking to other content (such as blogs where your business/ products are mentioned).

Try and keep your page fresh and exciting. Fans are so much likely to come back if they're enticed with a promotional voucher, the latest news or a cool blog post. Don't limit yourself to text updates - post videos, photos and links to interesting articles too.
