I want to start a small business using a FB Page, but I have absolutely no idea about how to go about doing it. Since I joined SME, I seem to have acquired 15+ FRIENDS, more than I’ve ever had in an entire lifetime, who want to be friends. What I really need is some friendly free information/advice on how to set up a commercial FB page, but what I seem to be getting is high-flying, big shots who want to make money out of selling me goods and services they own. Is this forum really about “lend a helping hand, connect with peers, and get help”? It seems to be more about swooping down on the uninitiated with dollar signs in their eyes. I welcome anyone to prove me wrong.

@petero – I’m participating in this forum almost since the beginning and I’m surprised by your statement. I find the questions and answers in the clubs very helpful and do not have the feeling that the club members practice hard selling here. It happens now and then – very rarely in my experience – that a new ‘friend’ within this forum offers his services in a private message (as response to accepting the friendship) but it’s usually a one time offer which you can either take or ignore.
With regards to your specific problem, I would suggest you take the time to read through existing topics to see if your questions get answered. If not, please feel free to let us know where exactly your problems are. Have you used Facebook before, do you have a personal account already? Where in the process do you struggle? etc. Thanks

PS: You should create a thread in the club called ‘Facebook’ – not here in the Small Business club…

Because this is a repeat post I’m going to close it.
I was going to delete it, but there were already some answers.
The “living” thread has been moved over to the Facebook forum here: http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/clubs/facebook/forum/topic/how-to-use-this-forum/
