How to create a personal Facebook account
As we just mentioned, there are two types of profiles that you can create on Facebook. First, let’s focus on all you need to know in order to create a personal profile.
Your personal Facebook profile
A personal profile is the most common type of Facebook account and perfect for your free time and leisure. It’s great for sharing your interests, some personal data like where you work or studied and, an easy way to keep in touch with friends and family, even those that you thought you wouldn’t hear from again.
Creating this type of account is very straightforward. Very similar to any registration you might have to do on the Internet.
This is the information you need to provide in order to open a personal Facebook profile:
➡ Name and last name
➡ Phone number or email
➡ Password
➡ Date of birth and gender
Once all the data has been completed, simply click on the magic button that will change your online social life forever: Create an account
DON’T FORGET TO CHECK YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT!
You will receive an email from Facebook requesting to confirm your account through a link.
Confirm and you are in!
HOW TO CONFIGURE YOUR PERSONAL FACEBOOK PROFILE OR ACCOUNT
Now that you already have your place on Facebook, it’s time to add a touch of color to your profile, in other words, avoid looking like a bot…
With this in mind, you should follow these steps to start using your account on Facebook:
- Choose a profile picture for Facebook. Add a profile photo so everybody can recognize you and reach more people.
- Search for friends. Work colleagues, ex-classmates, etc. All of them have a place.
- Make your profile private. You must decide who will have access to your profile and who will not. Facebook will control and have access to all your data as soon as you create an account. However, you can put some limitations. We recommend you that you establish those limits from the beginning, otherwise you will end up forgetting it and your account will be open to everybody.
- Find friends via email. Find out who has a profile on Facebook by entering their email’s addresses.
So now, you have your Facebook account to interact with friends and acquaintances, receive notifications from groups and events you like and be up-to-date.
Create your business account or Facebook page
You can also create a Facebook business account besides a personal profile. In other words, professional accounts for your business, personal brand, store or even for a public figure.
To start, you must choose between two alternatives:
👉🏻 Business or brand. It’s a way to improve the reach of your online store or company and approach more customers.
👉🏻 Community or public figure. Create your own Facebook community and share your interests. It’s perfect if your objective is to generate content about music, your favorite show or the sport you practice.
BEFORE YOU CREATE YOUR FACEBOOK BUSINESS ACCOUNT

Once you have completed this first step, the process is very similar to personal Facebook accounts. The difference is that you must be careful in choosing the right name so your potential customers can easily find your brand or business.
Then, it’s time to shape your profile: Choose your profile and cover photo, add information about your page and products if it’s an online store, etc.
