New Facebook page/blog this week, A few questions......

[Former_Member]

I just set up a new Facebook page this week. Not sure what I'm doing.

Didn't know whether to be an artist or a business person or? I couldn't find a "small business" choice.
What about the likes? or lack of?
Should I allow comments or keep it simple with just my entries?

The initial reason I created it was to allow people to see photos (like booth photos) that wouldn't appear in my basic etsy shop page.

It's up to you what you want to designate your facebook page as. I see a lot of Etsy sellers designate theirs as "Local Business", although that isn't applicable to some of us!

If you want more likes, I suggest joining facebook promotion teams. Team members will "like" you, and networking with them will give you more ideas about your own facebook page.

It's up to you whether you want to allow comments; I do because I like to know who's visiting my page and network with other Etsy sellers.

Let me know if you have any other questions about facebook, I love to help!

Oh and if you want to visit me :)

I also allow comments - to me that is what FB is all about. And personally i like to be labeled as an artist. But that is your call.

I would suggest - order of importance:
1) you add the Etsy app to your FB page
2) you fine tune your photos on top of your wall page to show off your work
3) join http://www.etsy.com/teams/9465/facebook-fanatics
4) you consider adding a landing page - here is mine https://www.facebook.com/MagneticBadgeHolders?sk=app_106878476015645
