Some people are not sure whether it is a Facebook Page or Profile account they are signing up for. Well, I know, I been there. This is why I wrote this blog to help and guide you on your social media mission. To spot the difference during signing up, first you have to understand the difference between Facebook Page vs Profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Profile is the most common account in Facebook, it is ideal for an individual who wants their presence be known as part of the fast growing trend of social media. For whatever reason, whether they want it so their friends can easily reach out with them or simple for popularity reasons. This article talks about the difference and its purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is a Facebook Profile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Profile is an account type designed for an individual to be able to connect, share information about them like events, interests, photos, videos, work, current location and hometown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Facebook Page?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Page is a type of account designed for businesses, institutions or organizations. It has the basic functions as Facebook profiles with added features to advertise and track performance using analytics. Most features are supported under Meta Business Suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know where to look. Next, I will show you some little clues to guide you in achieving your goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Facebook create a Page option vs create new for Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When creating your first account on Facebook, always watch for this link on the bottom of the sign-in form. Although it is not obvious, but the platform is actually giving you the options to login if you are already a user, create account if you’re new and a tiny little link below if you want to create a page. I know, you think Facebook would care to put a note beside the form explaining new account is for profile and a page is for a page. Perhaps because the platform is so popular, they assumed that every new users would instantly knew the difference. Anyone’s name can also be a brand, just saying. <\/p>\n\n\n

Now things are starting to clear up : Facebook create Page selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This time they actually cared to put a description by letting you know what you are getting into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope this information helps you in starting up your Facebook account. It is always been my passion to share information to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
