Creating your Facebook Business Page:
Step 1: Create a Facebook Profile:
Go to http://www.facebook.com and sign up, using company details in the optional field
Step 2: Create a Facebook Page:
Go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/#/advertising/?pages for step by step instructions and an overview of how to create a page. Click on “Create a Page” and start filling in your company or brand details. Have your credit card handy.
Select a category for your business, (Local, Brand or Product, or Artist, Band or Public figure).
If you enter your business as a Brand or Product, you will be able to enter more detailed information about your company than if you enter it as a Local business.
Once your page is created, add company information and upload an image or logo to use as your profile picture.
Step 3: Edit and Update your Facebook Page:
Facebook pages can be managed through the page manager, which provides traffic statistics and access to all of your Facebook pages. The page manager is found at the bottom of your browser page.
Step 4: Add Applications to your main website hosted at 1USA.
The best applications are those that will allow you to share unique information about your organization and increase interaction on your main website.

- RSS-Connect and Blogs: Discuss some announcements that are on your Announcements page of your main website or your blog feed.
- YouTube Videos: Post your videos on your main website in the appropriate area, then talk about the videos on your Facebook page.
Also share your Flickr photostream and link to your Flickr account. Again, put these links on your main website, and talk about them on your Facebook page.
