How to make a personal URL for your Facebook Page
“Amy, how the heck do I make a personal URL for my Facebook profile/page?!”
I get this question all the time because Facebook doesn’t really make it that simple by putting this option in the settings or anything (that I know of anyway). This is a crucial step for branding your business online, so for all you lovers out there that are lost in Facebookland. Here you go:
1. Login to your Facebook account and then go to: www.facebook.com/username.
2. From this screen you will be able to test different usernames to complete your personal URL for your Facebook Profile or Facebook Page that you administer. If you are not able to do this, it is because you have not met certain requirements that have been implemented by Facebook before you can start changing their URLs. I’m not 100% sure what those items are, but I think it has something to do with length of time on the site and/or number of friends.
3. Once you have decided on a URL name, you will NOT be able to change it. So make sure you know exactly what you want and LOCK IT IN! Do it.
You’re done! Go check out your new URL and start broadcasting it on your blog and website! “Visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/wearethecoolesteverrrrr! DO IT!”
