      Buon pormeriggio from 24 degrees C slightly cloudy Wetherby UK 🙂

      I want to open a facebook business page for a client but i understand it has to be attached to my personal facebook account. This is a pain, one day I'll leave the digital game which then presents a problem for the next administrator, I mean i can hardly pass arounf my facebook user name & pasword.

      Then to add to the conundrum i hear the fix is to regioster a business account sound good so far but then you cant do this if you have a personal account... err WTF!

      So my question is what do socail media agencies do when they open facebook business pages, surely they are not ties to personal accounts?

      Any insights welcome,
      Grazie,
      David

        I set up a second 'personal' facebook account using a made up name, I registered the account to a new hotmail type email and shared the login details with everyone in the business.

        I don't use the made up personal facebook I just use the business page.

        It's worked for me so far 🙂

          Hi David,

          For me it worked with Business account.

          I have created an email for this purpose, went to an incognito page (Chrome) and made a page for my client. Then opened up the business account with the created email address.

          I prefer to have a Business account for every Page that we administrate.

          I hope it works for you also.

          Greetings,

          Istvan
