Are you logged in as your page? If you look at the upper right corner of Facebook you should see your currently active profile. If you are logged in as a page you may be restricted from doing certain things.

Click on it to switch back to your personal profile. 

now that you mentioned it,is it recomended to make a facebook page without having a personal profile?because in my work they want to make a facebook page but they don’t want it linked to a personal account and making a personal account just for the company is no allowed…

@yupiqdz thank you for answering

but I wonder, how does the big brands does it? because my boss doesn’t his personal account involved but he doesn’t want the marketing department to use their accounts either xD

@hytare and @yolo

You can have a brand page without a personal profile, although FB doesn’t publicize that fact. One of my clients has it, so I know it exists (and it works fine, too).

For a company, I suggest creating a dedicated email address just for Facebook, such as facebook@companyxyz.com, and a dedicated password (that you’ll make nice and secure and change often).

If you trust your Facebook account admins, you can give them access to the email address and password. If you don’t trust them, just make them a page admin and keep the login info to yourself. Page admins can do most things on your brand page without having to log in directly to the account.

The only thing I’ve had trouble doing as a page admin (without direct access) is monitoring the full statistics of a Facebook ad campaign.

Once you’ve created your account (try not to think of it as a personal profile), don’t put anything in the personal profile part of your account; just go ahead and create your Facebook brand/fan page. Use your brand page only and ignore the personal profile.

@laurachristianson I like your answer, Laura.  It makes it very clear to me.

I agree with you Andrea, in that it’s preferable to associate a page with a personal profile account, whether you choose to use the personal profile or not.

And you can like other pages and search for other pages if you have a stand-alone business page. One of my clients has their page set up this way, and I just tested it. Both liking and searching work fine. I believe that before Timeline, you were unable to do this with a stand-alone page, but now, with the Timeline, you can do every function with a stand-alone page that you can do with one that’s connected to a personal profile. A huge improvement in functionality.
