Facebook, new info!

[Suzanne1118]

I have a fb page as a 'friend' when I first opened. I set it up as a friend page because I could add people from the area I was in and it was a form of advertising.

So this morning I got an email from a client saying she is deleting all the 'business' as friends' as it is against fb rules so I replyed and said thank you for letting me know, we recently set up a 'like' page and it's just a matter of time before we get everyone transfered'.

She sent me back a message with this link

Facebook Pages: Bugs and known issues - Facebook Help Centre | Facebook

Click on 'how to change my personal account to a facebook page'.

Well, done that and guess what, my 1549 'friends' now 'like' my page!

I just wanted to share this with all of you especially if your not sure which to set up. Do the friends one, add everyone you can, then convert!

I'm going to buy that client a bottle of wine!

Hey I currently have a business page and a personal page. I'm struggling to get likes too. If I closed my current business page, then converted my personal page to business would I still have a personal page? Or does it delete the personal page? Did that make sense? Lol xx

I had to read that a few time to get it No you cant combine pages (as far as I know). But I think you can convert your 'like' page to a 'person' page, add everyone from your area then change back. That or just set up a 'person' page and start from there. I had about 1000 friends in about 2 weeks, just kept adding everyone! Then change over to likes. I think Im confusing things now :Love:xx

Yes I'm interested to know this too. Did you find out when this will happen?

Thanks for the info, I didnt even know having a business as a "person" wasnt allowed! I set up as a "person" because I totally want my personal and business 100% seperate.
I've done a offer offering everyone thats adds me as a friend 10% off. Hmm not sure now how I'll do that if I change to a page that everyone has to "like". Can you see/keep track of people that "like" you?

What about Groups?

What about Groups?

To Sarah and Sophie,

I dont know, Ive never done a group but I couldnt find an option to change from a 'person page' to a group, just the fan page. You cant send private messages so they just have to email or phone you. Also you cant check who likes you, well either you cant or I havnt figured it out yet :wink2: I changed over because I heard a few peoples pages being shut down because your not aloud set up a personal account for a business so I changed before I lost everyone! xx

Hi, on your business Facebook page at the top where it says xx likes OR xx like this (something like that) just click on it and it will being up the whole list of people who like your page x

I was just about to say this. When you are on your business 'like' page, look on the left at how many likes you have and there is a link. Click this and on the right just above the graph, near where it says "People Who Like Your Page (Demographics and Location)" there is a 'See Likes' link. This will list the people who have liked your page.
