Facebook Business Manager Can Make Your Life Easier

Do you remember the old days of having to set up separate admins for Facebook business pages if you didn’t want to use your personal information to avoid giving page managers access to your personal Facebook page as well? I do. Wow, did that ever get confusing. Facebook has addressed this problem along with others by creating Facebook Business Manager. Agreed, in the beginning, there were a few kinks to work out with the new business manager concept, but that is all fixed now and there really isn’t anything that should be holding you back from utilizing this FREE tool offered by Facebook. What is Facebook Business Manager? Facebook describes it like this, “Business Manager serves as a one-stop-shop to manage business tools, business assets and employee access to these assets.” To break it down, it’s the place to manage all your Facebook marketing and advertising activities. Another beautiful thing about this feature is that you can control multiple, yes multiple, users’ access to additional resources like your Instagram account and product catalogs. Your business activities are finally separate from your personal profile, so no more posting from the wrong place. I have done this so many times when trying to interact with clients on my business page and end up doing it under my personal profile. So frustrating! There is just one caveat; you must be the one to set it up unless you are willing to give someone else your Facebook login. Personally, I’m not really down with giving out my Facebook login info to anyone else, so all you need to do is follow these simple steps to be well on your way to making your life a whole lot easier when it comes to managing your Facebook business page:

• You will need to use your personal Facebook profile in order to confirm your identity, don’t worry, no one will have access to your personal information in that account. NOTE: If you have an existing Facebook business page that you are adding, you must be the administrator for the following steps.

• Next, go to Facebook.com and click CREATE ACCOUNT in the top right corner.
• Enter your business name, your name and the business email address that will be used to manage your Facebook Business Manager account, then click

• After confirmation, you can either add an existing Facebook business page or create a new one.
