Should I Create a Personal Account?
A personal account allows you to invite friends and build visibility to your page.
You can post updates to your biz page as yourself or your company.
Create multiple admins for your page so it's not linked to just one person.
You can convert your biz account to a personal account, but not the other way around.

Page Building Tips
Be concise. Sell the FB page rather than your
organization: What value will people get from becoming
fans? Use social plug-ins on your website to let
people know about your Facebook page. Create a home page using the Static HTML
app.

Status Updates Con'd
Tips: Use a first-person voice. Educate fans. (Share statistics, graphs, etc.) Mix it up: Use video, pictures, podcasts, and
interviews to generate a viral response. Take photos/video from your events. Give a behind-the-scenes glimpse of your
organization. Share other people’s content if you think it’s of
interest to your fans. Ask questions that require short answers.

Insights
Metrics are key to the success of any social media campaign.
Facebook shows you who's visiting and when, so you can gauge the effectiveness of your posts.

Is Facebook Worth It?
Like any marketing effort, your Facebook campaign won't succeed if you don't: Make a time commitment. Respond to comments. Track your results. Know your audience.
But if you start posting content that matters to your customers, the potential for going “viral” and getting immediate feedback can be make it worth the investment.
