How are Pages different than personal profiles?

You probably aren’t monetizing your Facebook activity very well if you haven’t started your own Facebook Group or Page. I want to wanted to share what a Facebook Page is so I decided to go straight to the source. Here is some great information describing the differences between Pages and personal profiles that I found on the Facebook Help site.

“Each user is permitted to maintain a single account, which is represented by a profile. Profiles can only be used to represent an individual, and must be held under an individual name. This account can also be used to manage multiple Facebook Pages that represent businesses or other organizations. You may only create Facebook Pages to represent real organizations of which you are an authorized representative, and fans of these Pages won’t be able to see that you are the Page admin, or have any access to your personal account.

All personal site features, such as friending and messaging, are also for personal use only and may not be used for professional promotion. If you add a user as a friend, for example, this person will be invited to be a friend of your profile and not your Page. Using personal site features for professional promotion, or creating unauthorized Pages, may result in your account being warned or disabled.”

I hope this was helpful.
