How to Create a New Facebook Account? Step-By-Step Guide

Before you begin creating a new Facebook account, make sure you have these things in place:

Email Address: A reliable email address you often use, such as Gmail or Yahoo! Mail, is required when setting up a new Facebook account.

Password: Make sure your password includes numbers and letters and isn’t too easy to guess. Choose something unique that’s difficult to remember for added security. (For example, don’t use your date of birth as a password.).

Finally, you must be at least 13 years only to join Facebook.

On Desktop

Start by launching a web browser on your computer and log on to facebook.com. Once at the homepage, look for the “Create New Account” button. Click that button and follow the prompts to create your account. You’d be required to provide basic info including, email or cell phone number, your name, date of birth, gender, and password. 

After creating your account, you’ll need to verify your phone number or email address. For the former, you’ll need to input the code you received via SMS, while Facebook will send a confirmation link to your email. You must click this link to confirm your email address. 

Using the Mobile App

You’ll need to install the Facebook app from the respective app stores (Apple App Store/iOS) or Google Play (Android) to sign up on your mobile device.

If you have it installed, you’d want to do the following after launching the app:

  • Tap Create Facebook Account on the home screen
  • Tap the “Next” button.
  • Enter your names (First and Last)
  • Enter your date of birth, gender, and mobile phone number for verification.
  • Create a password and click “Register.”
  • Once registered, you can set up your profile, find your Facebook friends, and post content to get real Facebook likes.

Tips for Getting the Best out of Your Facebook Account

Every day, Facebook is the go-to communication tool for just about everyone. People can share their latest thoughts, updates, and favorite photos with friends and family worldwide. Businesses use it to reach out to potential customers as an efficient marketing tool. Also job seekers often find themselves relying on it when they need a new position. Having a complete profile on Facebook is vital.

While Facebook can be useful for keeping in touch with friends and family members, it can also be helpful when you are looking to re-establish connections or improve your professional career. When you use Facebook effectively, your profile is updated regularly, the information you post on your page is relevant and correct, and your updates are well-received.

Post a fresh status update daily. As already mentioned, many people use Facebook to stay in touch with friends and family. However, this should never limit how often you post on your page. You can also search online for ideas for Facebook posts.

When it comes to the way your Facebook profile is set up, there are a few things that can impact how well people receive the information about you on your page.

First, use a consistent profile picture, header image, and a great bio, a short description below your profile picture. This is the best way to help people recognize you as you move through the different social media sites associated with your Facebook account. It lets people know who you are when they see you post an update online. 

If people don’t recognize you from your profile picture, they won’t bother scrolling past the first few lines of your update and might end up missing what is essential.

Facebook Business Page

Public figures with potential followers on Facebook and firms looking to stay in touch with clients and customers will find a Facebook Business page useful. You can set up a Facebook page with these simple steps:

  1. Log on to www.facebook.com/pages/create/
  2. On the left side of the screen, enter a name for your page. This could be your business name, brand, or organization. 
  3. Select a page category and enter a description to help people know what your page is all about.
  4. Hit Create Page to continue.
  5. Add a profile picture and cover photo for your business and click save.
  6. Provide basic information, including location (for businesses with a physical location), phone, email, website, and other social media platforms.
  7. Give your page a username, and add a call to action button.

Advertising on Facebook requires little technical know-how. So even though advertising might seem intimidating to marketers who aren’t tech-savvy, there’s nothing special to learn. There are only a few steps involved when setting up an ad campaign:

Decide whether your goal is to sell physical goods or provide service. If you’re selling goods in your store, consider using Facebook ads to promote discounts, sales, promotions, or seasonal events. Or, if you’re running an event, look into advertisements related to those topics.

Choose an audience. If you’re making a product pitch to potential customers, choose specific individuals based on age, location, interests, and hobbies. On the other hand, if you’re looking to increase visibility or brand awareness, focus on demographics, including gender, income levels, education level, and so on.

Set the budget and publish the ad. You don’t need to be concerned about spending too much since Facebook automatically takes care of all the finances behind the scenes.

Get feedback. Once you’ve completed the ad setup, check back often because this is where most people’s campaigns end without success. This is because Facebook provides free weekly reports showing whether your ads are working or not. You can also use the analytics tool called Insights to measure which posts and events have performed well.

Measure results. Now that the ad is live, you can measure its performance and adjust it accordingly. One easy way to do this is through the Ad Library dashboard. Here, you can see detailed statistics such as impressions, clicks, conversions, etc.

The most important thing you should keep in mind is that Facebook offers many different ways to advertise. Whether you choose text, photo, video, link, or app, it will work. Also, you don’t have to follow any pre-set rules about the medium used, length, timing, etc. The point is, you’ll always have the freedom to experiment and try new things.

You may wonder how much time and effort goes into creating an effective Facebook ad, but the truth is, it doesn’t take long. Your ads can perform better than you expected with the right strategy and planning.

Conclusion

We hope this post helps you understand the basics of creating a new Facebook account. However, don’t forget that marketing online requires persistence when you start building your business. Since almost everything starts from scratch initially, you must continuously invest time and energy to grow your social presence and eventually get real Facebook likes.
