How to Create a Facebook Account
Hey Everyone!
I wanted to make a quick video on how to create your Facebook account. First, head over to facebook.com. When you get there, you'll see a simple website. It may look slightly different depending on updates or your location, but the process remains the same.
To create your account, click on "Create New Account." From there, you'll sign up and add your settings. Facebook will then validate your account through email or phone. It's as straightforward as signing up for anything else, just like you did with Wealthy Affiliate.
Having a Facebook account is important for following along with some of the training here. You don't need to be a social media guru, but Facebook is a vast platform with over three billion users. It can be a valuable tool for your business, and we offer plenty of resources, classes, and expertise on Facebook as you move forward.
Key Takeaways:
- Creating an Account: Visit facebook.com and click "Create New Account."
- Sign-Up Process: Complete the sign-up process and validate your account through email or phone.
- Importance of Facebook: Facebook is a powerful tool with over 3 billion users, useful for business growth and leveraging our training resources.
If you have any questions about Facebook or the setup process, drop them in the comments below, and I'll be more than happy to help you out.

Although not a requirement but always best to have a separate business account solely for business aside from your personal account.
This can also avoid pushing the boundaries with friends and family who are not interested in what you offer.
Those who are supportive and interested can always follow your business account.
If you use your personal account for promotions etc. many will tend to look away.
Hi, I have one personal account with 3 business pages linked to it. As regards to posts, comments etc. on your personal account, they are separate and will not show on your business pages. Hope this helps
Hi Kyle,
I am a long time Facebook user. As I consider using FB for my business, do I need a separate account? Or will I set up a FB page for my business using my old FB account?
Abie,
Thanks, but I'm afraid I'm still a bit slow on the uptake here. I have a FB profile that I've used for years with family, friends, and groups that I am involved in. I share a lot of humor on that page and have about 1200 friends.
Are you saying that I would just create a business page from that? if I do, will it be separate from my personal FB and news feed? When people come to my business page are they able to track back to my personal profile?

Thanks!
It's interesting that you and @TheCatherine are telling me two different answers. Or you may be saying the same thing and i am still confused! LOL
Ahhh.... cool! So I have a personal account, but I need to start a business account and then build a page for my website. That is my take away at this point.
I have created my Facebook account and even created my first post on there. My question is how do I get the FB icon onto my website?
There are plugins for that. How to Add Social Sharing Buttons to Your Wordpress Website There is some training that will help you out here. :)

Can I use the website email to sign up, keeping it separate from personal stuff? Obviously, I'll use my real name. I have a personal FB account but that's just so I can use Messenger. Think I done business pages years ago that have never been used for longer than a week 🙃
Yes, you can. You can also use your personal account to create multiple FB pages. Nobody in your contacts will know you created a page unless you tell them.
