Hi James, I’ve seen photographers use both “Company” and “Product/Service”.

I personally use PageYourself to customize my Page, it’s really nice, all the more so as it links the tabs together to make it look like a real website! They call it the f-Site. Have a look if you like http://www.pageyourself.com/

So far I have found the facebook fan page a huge waste of time and a pain in the u know what. You can’t send or recieve private messages,and there’s been a problem with the “invite email contacts” feature for a year or two according to the buzz i’ve read.

Also, since introducing paid promotions, facebook is now mysteriously not showing posts as frequently, some bait and switch scheme called “edgerank”. In order to get your posts out to all of your fans you now have to pay.

Thanks for the great tips! Hope its ok to add this, but I have tried to give people an incentive to like my page. For every 100 likes on my new facebook page, someone will Be selected to receive a free photo shoot! I think this is a great way to promote yourself and gives people an opportunity to not just like your page, but it gives them something to look forward to, while helping you reach more people. Its a plus for me as well, since I still getting established, to build my portfolio.

Great article, thanks a lot for this input! I finally managed to get my own FB page up and running. Now I just have to “market” it :-)

@Alice it looks like a lot of photogs are selecting Product/Service – a shame they don’t offer photography!

Can I ask a really basic question? I’m trying to set up a Facebook page for my photography business, but ‘Create a Page’ requires you to select a category of business – yet ‘Photography’ – or anything remotely like it – is not mentioned in ANY of the lists; not for ‘Company / organisation’, Brand/Product’ etc. Can anyone tell me what they selected in order to create a page which clearly relates to a photography business?

Having a Facebook Page for a Photography Business could definitely be effective with the capabilities of ‘tagging’ our clients (who are also our fans) as the administrator. ‘Friending’ clients from my personal page in order to ‘tag’ them (in order to draw more business) seems like a total disadvantage of creating a Business Page in the first place.

Any thoughts or ways to go about this?

Thanks.

StumbleUpon is great to get more traffic to your photography website.
