However, the basic fan page layout is quite cookie cutter, so adding some simple modifications can really make a Fan Page stand out and land those valuable fans. Not only will this look great, but it is easy and cost effective, unlike a custom built and branded Facebook Application.
Before you start:

  • Step 1: Navigate to Facebook (make sure you are logged out)
  • Step 2: Click the ‘Create A Page’ button
  • Step 3: Choose the purpose for you page and choose a name
  • Step 4: Click the create button
  • Step 5: Register or Login
  • Step 6: Your page is created
