How to Create a Fan Page on Facebook
This document includes step by step instructions on how to create a Fan Page on Facebook. Follow the
instructions below to create your page and start building a following on Facebook.
If you do not already have a Facebook Account, we recommend that you set up a separate email via
www.gmail.com to use to set up your page. This email should be a generic email associated with your
store location (ex: [email protected]). We recommend you use a gmail account for
several reasons:
- So your store page will not be linked to your personal Facebook account
- In case you sell your store, your Facebook page can be transferred easily to the new owner
- If you want an employee to manage your page, you can give them full reign of the page without
revealing any personal login information
How to Create a Gmail Account
1. Go to www.gmail.com
2. Click “Create an account ”
3. Fill in your information – Remember your email address should include your store location name
[ex: [email protected]]
4. When you fill out the rest of the information, be sure to include the franchisee email as the
“Recovery Email.” This will allow you to be able to access the account and change the password
easily.
5. Once you are finished filling out your information, click “I accept, Create my account.”
6. Gmail will take you to a screen that looks like this:
7. Click “Show me my account”
8. Gmail will take you to the dashboard view of their email portal. Keep this account open or keep
your username and password handy, because Facebook will ask you to confirm your email when
you create your Facebook Fan Page.
9. Congratulations! You have created a gmail account. Follow the directions below to create your
Facebook fan page.
