How to Create a Facebook Artist Page
Facebook pages allow you to present a professional front on Facebook, making it easy to reach out to fans, acquire more fans in a "word of mouth"-like setting and promote your work. In order to create a Facebook page you must already have a personal Facebook profile, be the business owner or public figure in question, and agree to Facebook's terms of use.
