The answer in short is no,  and the reason is because of the way business pages are managed.  A business page requires an ‘admin’ (an official owner) with the choice of adding numerous other persons who can also have a ‘role’ in the management of the page such as an Admin, Moderator, Editor etc.  To cope with the security aspects of this, each assigned role must log into the page via their own personal page.

It should be made clear that when you create a Business Page from your personal account (or are assigned a role) no one can see that you’re the admin or that your personal account is associated with the Page so other than the log in, the two remain separate from each other.  This is particularly necessary to avoid any conflict of interest between the two.

However, if you really don’t want your personal facebook account visible and just want to use it for log in purposes, you can set Facebook’s privacy control to restrict access so only you can see it.  This will prevent you being sent friends requests and other annoying notifications.

To do this, simply set up a blank account using your name and email address.  No need to bother adding a profile picture or anything else – it should literally take a minute or so.

Once facebook has sent you a verification link via email, log in and click the down arrow in the top right, select Settings and Privacy. The section on “Who can see my stuff?” provides options from “Public” to “Friends” to “Only me”. Obviously “Only me” means no one else can then view or find your personal page so set it to this.

In the “Who can look me up?” section, set the email and phone number section to ‘friends’ and check the box at the bottom to disallow search engines outside of facebook to link to your profile.

Your profile is now set up, private from view and you can create your facebook business page.

I’d recommend you download the free facebook pages manager app from Apple Store or Google Play if you need to manage the business page from your phone or tablet as this has all the necessary features required to manage the page quickly and effectively.

Facebook has taken social networking by storm over the past three years, growing to become one of the most used sites on the Internet, both from a new user point of view and a returning visitor rate as well.
Facebook brings together many millions of people who all connect, share information, photos, events and pretty much everything about their lives, whether they mean to or not.

In the same way you can connect to friends, you can also use Facebook as a great way to promote your business or website because the power that Facebook can offer you in terms of exposure is almost second to none when it comes to the potential that this site can offer to you.

Below, we look at our top five ways of utilising Facebook to really promote your business or website.

1. Set Up A Facebook Page

Facebook pages can be an amazing tool if you utilise them correctly. You can start to build up a “fan” base of people who are interested in your product who will like your page and therefore get information instantly when you add any new posts, photos, discussions or events to your page.

This means that not only does your post go onto the people who like your page walls, but then any of their friends could also see this, allowing you to spread the word to thousands more people just by growing your like list.

2. Tell Your Friends, Colleagues, Loved Ones And Anyone Who Will Listen

As mentioned above, its time to tell all of your trusted and not so trusted friends and contacts on Facebook about your page.

The more people you tell, the more people will start seeing your posts every time you add them, meaning that you can really get some excellent exposure from just a small pool of friends, as long as they have many more friends on their lists.

3. Build Up Your Likes

The more likes you have, the more your business page or general page will get exposure, as the things that you post and promote will start to get spread across many peoples Facebook walls and profiles.

This means its important to really only add good content to your Facebook page, things like adding your blog RSS feed and adding solid articles and noteworthy information.

4. Join Related Groups

On the same line as pages, groups are a great way to find other people who are interested in the same things that you are.

For example, if you enjoy playing Fifa 11, you simply type into your search box “Fifa 11” and then take a look at all the groups and pages. You can then join these groups and join in the discussions which can then lead to you promoting your related product.

Don’t just go storming in and start making loads of posts about what you are offering, as this will simply lead to either being blocked or becoming known as a spammer!

5. Use Facebook Advertising

Although we find the Facebook Advertising slightly more expensive than other cost per click models, the demographics you can place on your advertising is second to none.

For example, if you wanted to appeal to 30 – 50 year olds who live within 20 miles of your postcode and were interested in dancing, Facebook allows you to do this. Because of the data they collect about you as you are using Facebook, they can then really make sure that you can target any advertising very close to your perfect audience, which is not really rivaled elsewhere as of yet.

It is true to say that using Facebook to promote anything is hard work. You have to really work at your page, improve it on a daily basis and keep adding good content to keep not only the people who like your page happy but to also attract new ones.

If you are prepared to do the leg work, there is no doubt that this social networking site can drive extra traffic and sales to any business or website.
