Open My Facebook Page
To start with, let me inform you that it's all right to be logged right into your individual Facebook account when you develop your fan web page. When I made my initial one, I was horrified that my last name, personal account, or various other details would be linked to it. After setting it up as well as evaluating it from my boy's account, however, I learned that I was stressed for nothing. If you establish it up with a various e-mail address, it will certainly be a lot more hard to take care of because of all the logging in and also out.
Second, while some people like to establish a normal Facebook profile with their blog name, it's much better to establish a fan web page. That way your followers can "such as" your blog site without needing to add you as a pal, and the web page functions will be much easier to control.
