Thursday Tutorials: Finding the Create Page Button on Facebook

One of the biggest things I've had to walk several of my freelance clients through (those that didn't want me to create the page for them, they wanted to learn how to do it on their own), was "Where do you find the button to create a Facebook page?"

To be honest, when I created my first page a few years back, the button was tricky to find.  It's still a bit tricky to find if you don't already admin other pages.  This article will simplify locating the button a bit.

The easiest way, if you are reading this blog is to click this link:  http://www.facebook.com/page

This will take you to the page creation site with the plethora of options you see in this screenshot:


Another way to get to this page is to type "Create a Page" in the search bar at the top and you should see a drop down menu like this:


If you select the top most option, you will come to the same screen as you do when you click on my link above.

And, finally, the third way to find it.  If you go to your wall feed, you should have a side that looks similar to this (obviously I have more pages and stuff because I admin several):


If you mouse over the word pages on the left, the word "MORE" appears on the right.  Click on more which will load a page like this:



Simply clock on "Create a Page" and go from there.

Do you know of other ways to easily find the "Create a Page" option?  If so, feel free to share them.  These are the ones I know of and seem to be the simplest ways to accomplish the goal.

Stay tuned for next week's tutorial, which will cover selecting the category for your page.

Thursday Tutorials are a series of tutorials designed to help people who may not be as Facebook savvy as other people.  Some tutorials will be targeted towards newbies to the social media world, others will include tutorials for more advanced users.  Thursday Tutorials are written for the layman and are designed with everyone in mind.  You can find all the Thursday Tutorials by clicking on the Thursday Tutorials tag below.
