This seems so weird that Facebook would require a personal profile for businesses. Is this what major corporations do? Hypothetically would Coca-Cola have their account made via an employee or managers personal account? What if that person leaves the company? Does Coca-Cola need to reboot their page or struggle to wrest admin control from said person in the event they are no longer with the company? I feel like I'm missing something.
If Coca-Cola had software, yes they would. The main idea is that you don't want people sharing logins. If you had an employee leave mad, and they had the Admin access to the page, they could delete it, kick people off, any number of things. With each person having their own login, you can set up different levels of access. Hopefully an employee would never be given Admin access. And if they left, they would be removed, and their replacement would be added.
@@mrjerrypotter Hi! Thanks for the video! I've created a Facebook Business account with my company e-mail while I was logged in with my personal account. How can I create a facebook account with my company e-mail and then change the facebook account that is linked to my Business one (i.e, using the facebook account of my company instead of my own one to be linked to the business account)?
@@mrjerrypotter so in this example who would "own" the Coca-Cola profile super-admin the CEO? I'm trying to set up a facebook page for my bussines and it seems super weird to me, that an LLC can own a bank account or real state property to its name but not a Facebook page. Do registered business really run Facebook pages like this?
My same question! Everyone is an employee so an "Admin" has the potential to wreak havoc if they wanted too. I don't think major companies have to do that or they have their employees sign a contract. Still doesn't seem to make sense. ESPECIALLY since corps are "persons".
Will the same process work for a Facebook group? I have a RU-vid channel and I’m looking for a new way to share my videos and my blog from my website. I’m not interested in a personal profile and have no interest being found on it. I just want the group to be found. Will this work? By the way, great video.🙂
This video tells you nothing other than to create a FB account and turn off notifications & add shortcuts. There was no step for creating the business page and nothing about making the account unsearchable. pointless.
I set up my works Business page and attached it my personal account because I had to, but now I want to assign it all to them. I've given full control but how do I hand al over?
If we don't 'friend' anybody on the personal profile created, would this have an impact on future facebook advertising result as it may seem the account is not "legitimate"?
Is it possible to do this and create an FB page for a client's non-profit organization based in the US while the assistant creating it is based in another country? Can it be done without using a VPN? Thank you.

new subscriber and wondering if this will still work with the new Meta profile. Also, by not friending anyone will you still get exposure for a business retail page?
I hate FB and thought about keeping my business off of there because I didn’t want my information on there. Edit: This is still having my personal information on FB. Not a work around. Even my name on there is too much.
Hi Jerry, I have done all the steps but it appears Facebook is restricting my Page unless I send in my identity, is there a way around this? Any help would be much appreciated! :D

This no longer works. I followed the exact steps and Facebook bots figure it out I was duplicating an account and they put my new account on temporary restrictive hold meaning I cannot comment or do anything on my own account. And worse they don’t tell you why they did it and there is no contact chat or phone number to call to figure out what’s going on.
Hello, I have a question. Is it okay to manage a business page if your personal fb account is not a person's name? Business name is placed instead of person's name.
That's what I needed to know if they would allow fb page to create in my personal FB account not under my real name (alias) and also the gender I chose was female though I'm gay 😭
I am starting over because I was hacked. This time I want t business page for the sole purpose of being able to share posts from my IG business profile. My question is: I want to still invite all my former friends from my personal page to my business page. Is there a way to invite followers or do I have to friend them on my persona profile first?
Sir, does it comply with the Facebook guidelines if we create a Facebook account for a business and run business page through that account? Is it necessary to run business page through personal account??
Be careful with FB nowadays, they're shutting down accounts like crazy. One friend was the administrator of several FB business accounts and now he can't. For another friend FB keeps asking to upload an ID and she has done it several times with different IDs and FB still won't give her back the account. FB is garbage in my opinion, fortunately I've never had an account.
Yes exactly! FB has shut down my ad & business ad account just out of the blue yesterday!!! No reasons given, just wham! I am a small business & only use FB ads every so often. I have been doing the same ads for years & suddenly I am banned? WTF? I hate FB now! You can’t reach anyone at FB to rectify the problem either. Now I am scrambling to find a new platform to advertise my small business.
@@DivineSource444 Yeah, since I posted this 2 more accounts of people I know have been shut down out of nowhere. META is doing terrible and certainly all this is not going to help them. As far as I'm concerned META and all it's platforms can't die soon enough. Good luck getting your account back.
@@tonybp Thanks, but the way I feel right now I don’t really know if I want it back. If I can find an advertising platform that can target specific geographical locations I would switch in a heartbeat.
They shouldn't be. Under Page Transparency they can see some history of the page (when it was created, name changes, etc.) but you don't have to show who the Admins are.
Thank you for this video, I have a used car dealer and I have been struggling lately with my marketplace posts, lately all my posts does not show on marketplace and I can't post them my self cause it will show my personal profile not the business profile. When I contacted the advertising company I am using they said that they have no control on the way Facebook post the adds!! can you advise please?
Hello there My business page is under my personal account. I would like to open a new account and carry my business page there. Is that possible? Is So how ?
I’m having issues sharing a post to a group as my business was account. It only lets me post it as my personal account - I can’t switch accounts before sharing or anything like that. I don’t have the option to join any groups either with my business account. Please help!
I followed your instructions and was just informed my new facebook account has been suspended. Facebook said I have not followed their community guidelines. How do I correct this problems? I have filed an appeal waiting for results tomorrow Tuesday, February 27th.
Sorry to hear that happened. Facebook's guidelines are super vague, which is annoying. Unfortunately I don't have any way to know why your account was suspended. Sometimes it's just a bot that gets it wrong.

So here's my issue / challenge. My regular FB account was hacked a year ago when someone ran some crazy ads (apparently) through my account. Result: my FB account cannot run ads at all (which I now want to do). Should I try to create a second account, or do I have to kill off the existing account and start all over again? Or will your method work for me? Any suggestions appreciated...
Hi I've just subscribed. I've just taken out my own franchise website with a Facebook link at top. I'm looking at simply having a FB business page for the visitors to my site. Is that OK?
A Facebook Business Page will never show up in search as well as a nicely done website, but beyond that it just depends on the perception of your ideal customers. Some people don't trust companies without websites, while others don't care either way. Hope that helps!
someone posted crap on my personal page, so they banned me. i just want to start a new account, but not use my personal profile, I want this private..,. going to try this. I wish they would let me keep my old page... thanks

Hi Jerry, can we deactivate our personal page as an alternative and keep the business page? I already have a well established personal page (Magie Cook Garcia) but I want to just have one public figure profile (Magie Cook) moving forward.
Account legitimacy is a big problem with this method. Often times when the account shows little to no action, FB will flag as spam and take it down. Concerning risk, especially when client's are involved.

Thanks for the great video have not long started to follow you, I'm really struggling with time for the business social media, so much to do, no time to do it in, seriously looking at & thinking about a "Social Media Manager" the trouble is what we do is very specialized to the point where I'd still have to write all the content myself then send it to someone by the time do that I may as well post it up myself. I'd post the link but I've read that RU-vid block posts with URL Links. Rgs Wayne
Glad you enjoyed the video Wayne! I work with businesses regularly in your situation. The most effective, long term solution is to figure out a simple strategy that works for you and your business, then outsource it to someone that can execute your vision. This is much cheaper than hiring an expert social media person. Creating your own simplified strategy is what I teach in my course.

Wondering what the difference is between a Business page and a Public Figure Page? Someone I used to follow on FB has a Public Figure Page, and no actual personal profile,, though there are many blank accounts with what could be I guess her personal profile.
This was something Facebook tested briefly last year. Public Figure pages run more like Business Pages, but look more like Personal Profiles. Don't think they are even available anymore.
Hey man, cool video! I'm not on facebook, never have, I don't do facebook, and I don't want a facebook, EVER. However, the whole facebook marketplace thing that's out now looks interesting, to be able to buy stuff secondhand and sell stuff that I don't want or need... is this workaround video suitable for something like that as well? Or do you have a separate video or would you make a separate video specific to facebook marketplace? Otherwise I'd probably just get one of my friends to use their account to buy me stuff and sell my stuff, or get back into kijiji again... LMAO!!! 🤣 Cheers buddy! 😊❤👍
Yes, you could use Facebook Marketplace in the same way. People might be a little suspicious to buy or sell with you since you have no friends on Facebook. Perhaps not, but just something to be aware of.

I'm looking forward to joining your fiveminutesocialmedia program (just received your email). This video is very helpful, but I have a question. In the " Your Activity" section within... Settings & Privacy/Privacy/Your Activity... can the setting be in "Only Me" or does it need to be in "Public", "Friends", etc? Thanks again for all your help.
If we are talking about the same place, that is just creating a default setting for who can see things on your personal profile. If you aren't planning to post to your personal profile at all then it doesn't matter. But you can just set it to Only Me - then you're covered if you accidentally post there or something.

Wonderful, call me a dummy but in life with TOO MANY options and such. WE LIKE DETAILS🤣 May sound "dumb" but just to be clear, NOW WHAT? Now we have created a profile exactly as described here what next? Log out and then create a separate FB business profile, I assume? Seems obvious, but technicalities matter especially to newbies. Also under "notifications" in the page we created there is no longer a "Pages I Manage" tab, hoping that's not an issue.
HELP... the account looks like my personal account with tons of people I don't know pictured and the name of my VLOG is missing... it has my name. How did you get the Name "Five Minute Social Media" on the account instead of your name? HELP

@@DarkAraque Hello. Thanks for the reply. If you really think you can do it, I’d need some convincing. I’ve talked to so many people who say it can’t be done. I just want a musician Facebook page using a pseudonym or my “stage name”. I don’t want to use my real name. Other artists with pseudonyms have managed to create Facebook pages and not use their real names. So surely There’s a way. So convince me you can do it for me, that you are legitimate and I’ll pay you for your services.
Which is why this video isn't called, "How to create a business page without a personal profile," and why I said that up front. Apologies if you felt misled.
Nah, not misled, I'm not a fool. I'm just saying a simple NO to the question of "Can I..." is really the quick answer. Otherwise, the video is a waste of time.
