Way bigger. If you would like to capitalize on that growth, and get more people to be aware of your business, then you need to make a Facebook Fan page as soon as possible. The great thing about fan pages is that they are free. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The first thing you will need is a Facebook account. Most people already have one, but if you don't, it's easy to sign up. Lots of people make basic fan pages that are not really that attractive. If you want a professional looking fan page, don't worry. It really isn't hard to get a nice fan page. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Facebook fan pages have the option to use a mark up language called FBML. This stands for Facebook Mark Up Language. It is similar to HTML. FBML is the way to make your fan page look custom. The coding can be pretty confusing, so you will need to get a template to get started. I initially tried out a template that looked great. It had an FBML code that I could start with, and just needed to add my hosted pictures and text. Well, for some reason, it was so complicated. I wasted so much time on this template that was supposed to make things so much easier. I was fed up.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Finally, I did some more searching online to see if I could find a more user-friendly template that would work for people who aren't computer geniuses. I know a little about the internet and computers but all of that coding was giving me such a headache! I found a site called </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.hubze.biz/idevaffiliate.php?id=291"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Fan Page Engine</span></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. It is basically a fan page generator that allows you to stop worry about coding. You don't even see the codes until then end when you copy and paste it into the FBML editor on the Facebook Fan Page. Fan Page Engine is amazing. They even have several "how to" videos that I found helpful. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hubze.biz/idevaffiliate.php?id=291"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1odHrT7W8jk/TKVY_RP31YI/AAAAAAAAB2w/HK-TJiULH8w/s1600/fanpage-engine.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Once I purchased the generator for </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.hubze.biz/idevaffiliate.php?id=291"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Fan Page Engine</span></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, I started working on a fan page for my mom's shop, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Loganville-GA/Lornas-Bridal-Formalwear/158747170808078?v=app_4949752878&ref=ts"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Lorna's Bridal & Formalwear</span></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. I couldn't believe it only took me about an hour to be completely finished with a professional looking fan page. My mom was so excited. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.hubze.biz/idevaffiliate.php?id=291"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-large;">Click here to check out the Fan Page Engine templates.</span></span></b></a></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5395724036142388625-6644803614244389523?l=makeafacebookfanpage.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kimnoreply@blogger.com1
