    I think you need to change ur private settings to public. When you start a page on facebook, people can become members, fans and post comments unless you choose not to. So make sure You read all the instructions properly and start your page.. :eek:

    Yes, they are completely different things.
    You would have to start a facebook account to make a 'page', but you don't have to use it and get 'friends' for it , you can get 'fans' for your page from other sources - e.g facebook ads, or just your own other types of online promotion.

    Yes, a Facebook is page is totally different from a profile which people have for their personal use.

    There is no function with Facebook pages to acquire friends - only fans. A good way of getting fans is to research other businesses Facebook pages and becoming fans of them and then they in return will usually become fans of your page, if of course, your business is relevant to theirs.

    There are several applications that are worthwhile adding to your page to make it interesting for people browsing the page so that they are further encouraged to become fans.

    When you create a facebook page can they become members? I have only seen the option to become fans... or is it the same thing?

    Yes, you can have a facebook business page with fans that aren't your' friends. Of course, it always helps to have your' friends become fans. It gets things started virally.

    Thanks a lot for all your suggestions :)
    Now I'm promoting my face book business page separately and have 23 fans now.

    Following is the way I'm promoting my facebook business page to increase the fan base:

    1. Sending face book business page links directly to the people by using
    the message option. - Through this method we can reach only 15-20 people per day as according to face book terms and conditions.

    2. Face book business page is publicly visible and also search engines
    can index it, so I'm promoting externally by posting it on various places
    like:
    a.) Public book marking websites like digg, del.icio.us, Propeller.com,
    reddit.com etc.
    b.) Twitter - Also I'm posting links on Twitter depending on the
    Updates and Events on the facebook page.


    Can any one give me more ideas to increase the fan base, by keeping all the facebook parameters in mind like - Lot of activity in small span of time, spamming etc and other terms and conditions.

    I got a target from client to reach 800 fans within this month. :confused:

    You can make use of TWIENDS or buy artificial fans from websites. This is just a way to fool people but doesn't have any affect on sales or traffic.
