David - Sorry for the delayed reply, I wasn't notified about your question and just came upon it. If you can't choose your business page to comment, then you're in a place on Facebook that business pages can't comment.
What I was hoping to gain from this video is you showing me how to separate my personal profile from my business page. I already know how to toggle between the two like you just demonstrated. But I wanted to be able to log into a business page without having to go through my personal profile first.

Thank you for your video. You are very knowledgeable. I have been the administrator of a FB page that is for a spiritual center for a number of years. I’ve been asked by a member for the password in order to go FB Live for the weekly services. She’s in some administrative capacity, although I don’t recall which. I wouldn’t even mind stepping down from the administrator role but do I need to pass on my personal FB password and then change it? I have a new phone and I’ve been required to use Authy to sign in and I really don’t want to get locked out of my FB account which then messes with all my other accounts. Can you help me please? Thank you.
Hi, is there a way to have a different password for your business page from your personal account? Otherwise, wouldn't admins have your personal account's password as well in order to log in?
HI Jerry. Is there a way to separate a personal page and a business page when the business page is the company I work for? Its not my business, I just work here. I set it up a long time ago not realizing the new account would be accessible only as part of my account. I'd like a totally separate set of accounts. Someday I won't work here right? and I don't want to have to give my personal info so that the company FB page can go on without me.
Hey Diana! As I mentioned in the video, there is no public connection between your personal profile and your business page. However, business pages are public on the internet so your friends will be able to see it if they discover it - but again, they won't know it's from you unless you tell them.
Hello Jerry. I am an admin on the community page for our neighborhood. How can I post something on the community page as the page and not as an individual?

I want to "Like" other business pages as my business page, but I don't want all of those showing up on the list of "Pages Liked by This Page" section on my business page. Is there a way to do that?
Great video, thank you! There are a few "business pages" that are posting in various groups, and I'm wondering how they are doing this? Is there somewhere I can send you a screen shot of those posts? Thanks so much.
thanks for your video. I have a personal and business page (garden club). All posts on the business page, show up for me to read on the business page notification as well as in my personal page notifications. So after I clear them (view them) on my business page notifications, I still have to on my personal page notifications view them again to clear them. On my Personal Page, I have 'unfollowed' my business page but that did not stop business page posts from other people showing up in notifications on my personal page. What can I do? I want to not have other people's posts to the business page showing in notifications on my personal page. thanks

I have a music page and a personal page with the same name. Every show I play a new fan will ask if I can accept their FB request because they can't find my music page. FB doesn't allow me to change my personal page name and the search never brings my music page up. They try James Cook Music and it still shows my personal page. I don't want them to see my personal page when they search. How to do I direct them to my Music Page.

Hey there thanks so much for helping us out. Do you know how to fix the messenger glitch/pop-up "select an account" which has a choice between a personal page and business page BUT doesn't accept the choice made no matter how many times it's chosen? I've force stopped, deleted, cleared cache, cleared data, upgraded, etc but nothing helps. I cannot figure out how to stop the pop-up. It began about two weeks ago. This is happening on my note 20, not my ipad, though. Appreciate any help you'd be willing to give.
I have a device my staff and I use at my business and want to give the device access to business suite and messenger so they can post as the business.

I merged my page with my profile and as I was clicking I removed myself from being the manager or administrator of my page. So my page does not recognize me as it is owner, I have tried everything to get it back but I don't know-how, any recommendations.

Nice Video Jerry, however when I tried to share a post i clicked on the arrow and selected the business I wanted to post as, it showed in the window the business icon but when i shared to the page it posted as me and not the business. What do i need to do to make sure it posts as business and not me?
Not sure what happened then Brad. It should always post as whatever you selected from the drop down - could have been a bug? There are places you can only post as your personal profile though - if the business isn't available, that's a place on Facebook that businesses can't post. Does that make sense Brad?
I have a profile for social media. I have been debating on making a second profile to make a business page off of. Or just use that profile as a business profile. Witch would you suggest. Or should I just make my business page off of my regular profile?

Okay here's one thing I'm having a problem with. I have an e-commerce and I'm trying to link only my business account to that e-commerce and it keeps going back to my personal page I don't want my personal page linked with my business.

I am in a buying and selling group as myself . Businesses are allowed to promote their business one a week . Is it possible to put a link to my business without my personal profile showing ?
Hi, Great videos, very helpful! I cant seem to find out how to change "published by" when I make a post. It has my business name then under that it has publishing by my personal name, then the date. How can I remove that part so people dont see my personal name on a post?
Jerry, how do I change ownership of a business page? I set up the page on behalf of my client but don't want his page to forever be linked to my personal profile. I need to stay on as an Admin so I can make posts and such on his page. I just want the new page to be linked to the client's personal profile now, not mine. Hope that makes sense. Thanks!
i am an editor in my company page where i work for. my personal notification and business notification are mixed whenever i check the notification. but with the pages where i am an admin. the notifications are filtered only for that specific page
What is the difference of a Public Figure page that I started long time ago but never published and a personal page and adding a business page? I am ready to make the Public Figure page live for marketing myself as a business coach. Do you suggest I continue with just the current public figure page or get rid of it and start a personal page and add a business page. My business is my name by the way which then I would have 2 pages with the same name and when searching, they will see 2 and may end up on my personal instead of my business. Thanks for your time and I really appreciate you to the point videos. Cheers, Steve.
Hey Steve! If your old page has never been published I thin you could go head and just publish it. As far as having a profile and a page with the same name, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I have it and it hasn't been a problem. You could always name your business page "Steve Holloway Business Coaching" or something similar.
@@mrjerrypotter Thank you very much for your reply, greatly appreciated! This Public Figure page was done in 2014 and then you created just a Public Figure page and no personal page. As far as I can see comparing my wife's personal and other business pages, the only difference is I can't search for people as there is no search! (Not that I want to search for anyone anyway). I don't know if you are familiar with the 2014 days of creating either a public figure or personal page and hopefully you are. I really don't want to post personally right now, who knows in the future as my wife does most of that anyway :-) I just want to make sure of the direction I take with the current page or new personal/business page. I want to make sure I am getting the best application to market myself!! What do you think? Again, thank you so much for taking your precious time to answer my question. I look forward to learning from you! Being a bottom line personality, you hit the target! Thanks a million!
The Facebook Business Page is fine, just know that it is really tough to get organic reach. If you are focusing your efforts, I wonder if it might be better to do it with a personal profile on LinkedIn where it's easier to engage and get more organic reach. Something to consider!
First congratulate for your great video! I am the administrator of a business page which has about 500 followers. The personal page which the business page has been created has about 850 followers. Most of them are clients of my company. So I am inviting them to follow my business page. Generally is it right to find and add friends new potential clients first on the personal page and then invite them to my business page? Also many people find me and sent me friend request on my personal page. Usually the personal page should be inactive in order not to confuse the followers (consider that my surname is about the same with my company name)? Also is there a way to invite people through e-mail contacts?
It is against Facebook's terms to use your personal profile for business. I don't know if they'd crack down on you but FYI. Whether they come to your personal or business page first is personal preference. And if you want to invite people via email you just send them a link to your page. Make sure to include a really good reason they should bother to Follow it though.
I created a business page. Question on posting on someone else's personal profile as my business page. I understand post has my personal name. But can I block business post from posting to my personal FB. I use my personal FB for family and don't really want to mix it with business.
Hi Jerry, I have an app on my phone where I can create a post and share onto facebook. I would like it to go straight onto my business page but it doesn't give me the option to do this, I can only post it onto to my personal page, then share onto my business page. Is there a way to change this please?
Hi Jerry, thanks for the helpful video, yet I still have a question. I created a Facebook page for my NGO, from my personal account. I then created an Instagram account, and paired it to my Facebook page, to post stories on both at once. Yet, the manager of this Instagram account is receiving all the notifications from both the Facebook page and my personal page (including my messenger). Do you know why?
Thanks for your question! Unfortunately, Jerry Potter can’t get to all of them, but if you still need an answer feel free to post it in our free Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/fiveminutesocialmedia/
Hi Jerry, very useful video, but having an issue on the app on my phone. I can comment on a post as myself, but then randomly it will automatically post as my business page and I have no way to change which one I comment with. Are you able to shed any light on this? Hope it makes sense too.
You can only comment as some accounts in certain places. For example, business pages can't comment on personal profiles. If you have the option to choose, you should be a small down-arrow on the posting box where you can choose who to comment as. If it's not there, it will automatically comment as the only option. Does that make sense?
@@mrjerrypotter I've noticed it's only on certain posts. There's no drop down the change on the app on my phone, tried looking everywhere, it's only just started to do it, quite annoying when I want to tag someone and it comes up as the business page! Thanks for replying though
Hello Jerry, I need help. I have a business page. When I go to post an ad to our left top of the post shows my personal profile is on the posting tab instead of my business logo.
Jerry, I can post from my personal page on the computer easily. However, when I'm on the run and on my phone trying to engage with my followers, I can't seem to respond as myself on my business page. Any advice for this particular problem?
@@mrjerrypotter I didn't know there was a separate app for business pages. Good looking on that one. However, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I still don't have the option to respond to my business page from my personal page on my phone 😩. What am I doing wrong?
I didn't understand your original question. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to do that on your phone. It's set up so that people reply as their business page (which most people are looking to do). You can do it on the computer though. You might try in a mobile browser instead of the Facebook App? Haven't tried it though.
@@mrjerrypotter that's what we discovered. When we log onto Facebook from an internet browser we can then choose which profile to use when interacting on the business page.
I want to give a login for my UA-cam profile that goes to my business page... this is done through a bot, so all I can do is choose the account login... so that will automatically go to my personal page... so there is no separate login that goes directly to the business page???
Five Minute Social Media - Jerry Potter thanks for reply... I did mean FB and the bot being used (for PATREON) eventually allowed me to pick which of my FB pages I wanted to land on.. so I picked my business page! Answered!
Good morning! I just bought a small business from my boss. She is unable to add me as administrator and delet herself I am unable to even see the page any longer she was able to give my daughter control of the page but she is still attached and has not deleted herself. She claims she can not make anyone administrator. Should I just start all over. This business has been around for 12 years She had created ot off her own personal page but it is separate from her personal page. We have watched so many videos on how to do this. Part of the sale she is to give up all pages
Hi Jerry...dumb question...I want to work on my business page but are not ready to put it out there...I am unsure how to keep it private until I am ready to share it...
Do I get a separate inbox for messaging when I create a business profile? If yes, will I get a notification when I get a dm to my business inbox while I'm on my personal profile, or do I have to switch between profiles to check each inbox?
Your Facebook Business Page will come with it's own inbox, yes (unless you disable it). Unless you set your page up inside a Business Manager account, you should get a notification on your personal profile.
Thanks for the explanation. Just discovered you now. A quick question tho... How do I use my business profile to post and comment on a group I created (for business). I created the group in my personal profile (I don't know any other way) and now would like to connect with my business profile so I post in that group as the business. Make sense?
Hey! I've a personal instagram account, but i wanna open another one for my artworks. But I don't want to let my contacts and the followers of my personal instagram account to know about the new one. How can i do it?! Please reply!🙂🙂🙂
I have an opposite issue. My personal page is the one with monetization and my business page doesn't. I'm fine with that. But I can't edit creator studio because my personal page is the one getting all the views not my business
Hi Jerry, Thank you for this informative video. I've subscribed and will watch more videos as I've got time. *I have a question. I've set up a business page but did so before I found out that keeping the business page and personal page is possible. So I created a dummy account and then set up my business account from it. Is there a way to transfer my business page from this dummy account to my own personal account? Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Bob Davis
hi good video but i am still not sure who i can put as admin to separate my business and personal pages. Most people will have a personal page so who should i chose as admin for the business?
My question is more about the privacy settings. I couldn't find a separate privacy setting place for just my business page. So I want to keep my private page, well private, and my business page open to the public. Is that automatic or do I have to change the settings? If so where? Link to a video if you already covered this would be fine.
Thank you so much for the video Jerry and I apologize if this has been asked and answered 100 times in the 700 comments! I created a business page. I go to the business page and want to comment on someone else's business page as my business. I search for their page and when I get there to create a post it has gone back to my personal profile so my post will show my name, not my business name. Other businesses post on that page so I know it is possible but I can't figure out how to post on their page as my business. There is no drop down in the post area to change my identity back to my business page. I want to post on a Chamber of Commerce page that allows businesses to post on their page. Thank you!
I'd like to post on my IG and FB group at the same time sometimes (separate from my personal page), but it defaults to my FB personal page. How do I make that FB group a separate entity?
Hi! Love your quick explanations. I'm having an issue. I can seem to create a new post on another business page as my page. When I go to a business's page I want to create a post on using my business page, I cant seem to see an option that allows me to post as my page rather than my personal page?
I think they are phasing this tool out, but if it's still there for you, there should be a down-arrow on the right side of the posting box where you can decided who to post as.
Hi Again. I can make a trusted friend admin but if they have a personal fb page wont the problem just be transferred to my business page when her/his personal friends post on the business page? thanks Tony
Thank you for your video! I have a question. When I go to other page I can't comment on that page's posts, but when it's on my feed I have this icon for changing with whom I interacting (personally or page) on the same post I saw. Interacting in other page's posts is important to me. Also mention notifications gets me on my page, but not specific post. Could someone help me with that? New facebook layout is a bit confusing.

From what I can see Sandi, Messenger appointments will only link with Google Calendars. So you'll need to sync your Google calendar with your Outlook calendar. Lots of tutorials available for that: www.google.com/search?q=sync+google+calendar+with+outlook&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS777US777&oq=sync+google+calend&aqs=chrome.1.0l3j69i57j0l2.6064j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Hi Jerry... I really enjoyed your video.... BUT... I tried creating a business page a year or so ago (the way you outlined) and my friends quickly started seeing my business page as a suggested page for them and I started seeing my friends as suggested friends for my business page. This also happened on Instagram. Did I do something wrong?
I don't think so - Facebook is just trying to help grow your accounts. But none of your friends are seeing a message that says, "Maybe you should like this page that BRIAN made."
I cannot bring up my own name to add as Editor and Moderator in Page Roles. I've confirmed the email address I signed up with on FB plus tried my name as it appears on FB. Other names similar to mine or my address pop up but not me. I need to be Admin, Editor and Moderator. Any other suggestions?
Greetings, I created a business page last night and published it, but when I search for it, it's not showing up when I have others search for it. It only shows links to posts that I posted lasted night on my business page when creating it. However, my personal page that my business page is linked to pops up in the search engine for Facebook.
New pages take at least a few days before showing up in search results. It's a brief waiting period to see if the page is legit. If you have Likes, start posting, fill out all the info, etc. it may come up sooner.
Hello. So I'm needing to set up a fb page for a new local business in which I'd be the admin for. I'm the social media manager for the company. I don't want it connected to any of my personal pages nor do I need this company one set up as a "business" so it could be a group I guess. We don't want the public to be able to comment bc we want the page for advertising events etc to get the word out. I use mainly my phone for social media since I'm not with a computer all day. I don't want to have to log in and out of my personal page amd then the company page if I don't have to. If the company account gets hacked I don't want it messing up my personal stuff either if that makes sense. Any advice on how to set it up? Thanks
Thanks for the info, Jerry. I do not have FB now. I see that I must create a personal profile to have a business page. My question is, can I make a personal page that is set up as completely private and still have a business page or does Facebook force you to keep your personal page more than just a completely private one? Thank you!
@@mrjerrypotter Gotcha...just wondering if a personal page you set up with the settings of "only me" under privacy could still be used as the private account that is required for a business page as the admin.
@@mrjerrypotter hey Jerry , thanks for your advice here. when you create a group , will it also be separate from your personal account. Will nobody know my personal account , as long as i don't mention it in the group ...? thanks ! if it is visible, can you 'hide' your personal account. .?
To delete go to the business page's Settings and scroll to the bottom - you should see the option there. To create a new page, just do it the same way you did last time.
My issue as I look at my business page it has me signed in personally and my social media people can access my personal account which I dont want...there is no way of just signing in to the business page.
Stefano and Noah - Your pages are separate. When you are signed into your business page you might see your name in places, but the public doesn't see that. If you are having other people work on your business page, they should be signing in with their own Facebook account. You can give them access to your page by giving them a role on it: ua-cam.com/video/AYc8o2dMpbY/v-deo.html
Thank you for this video. Can you help me understand why I cannot post on someone's page who has liked my business page with my business profile? It only gives me my personal profile option. Also, I want to add my biz page to my MailChimp widget/button at the footer but it also goes to my personal account even though directed to the business. May be related. Thanks so much!
I'm not 100% sure on your question, but I think you're asking if you can deactivate a business page without deleting the personal profile. If so, yes. Just go to your page, click Settings on the upper right, and scroll all the way to the bottom - it should be there.
when i log into my personal fb page, my business profile is also there at the right hand corner. i do not want to delete or remove it, but i want to compeletely seperate the page. how can i do that please?

Thank you for your video. You are very knowledgeable. I have been the administrator of a FB page that is for a spiritual center for a number of years. I’ve been asked by a member for the password in order to go FB Live for the weekly services. She’s in some administrative capacity, although I don’t recall which. I wouldn’t even mind stepping down from the administrator role but do I need to pass on my personal FB password and then change it? I have a new phone and I’ve been required to use Authy to sign in and I really don’t want to get locked out of my FB account which then messes with all my other accounts. Can you help me please? Thank you.
Hi, is there a way to have a different password for your business page from your personal account? Otherwise, wouldn't admins have your personal account's password as well in order to log in?
@@MisterMahseer is it possible to lock your personal account so someone can’t switch into it ?
HI Jerry. Is there a way to separate a personal page and a business page when the business page is the company I work for? Its not my business, I just work here. I set it up a long time ago not realizing the new account would be accessible only as part of my account. I'd like a totally separate set of accounts. Someday I won't work here right? and I don't want to have to give my personal info so that the company FB page can go on without me.
Hey Diana! As I mentioned in the video, there is no public connection between your personal profile and your business page. However, business pages are public on the internet so your friends will be able to see it if they discover it - but again, they won't know it's from you unless you tell them.
When I am on my business page and go to post, my personal page comes up and will post to that site and not my business page
Hello Jerry. I am an admin on the community page for our neighborhood. How can I post something on the community page as the page and not as an individual?
I have a page linked to my personal account with an ad account and pixel. I have recently opened a business account. How can I have them all completely transferred to business manager? Thank you. Great video
I don't have a Business Manager tutorial but am working on one for the future. This might help answer your question though:

thanks for your video. I have a personal and business page (garden club). All posts on the business page, show up for me to read on the business page notification as well as in my personal page notifications. So after I clear them (view them) on my business page notifications, I still have to on my personal page notifications view them again to clear them.

I want to not have other people's posts to the business page showing in notifications on my personal page. thanks

Thanks for the info, Jerry! Is there a way to deactivate my personal page (not delete) without deactivating my business page?
No, but you can just stop using your personal page. Unfriend everyone. Then it's just the login to control your business page.
Open another id, make the new id as admin, then deactivate the main account and use the page with new id.
Thank you for understanding how a newbie thinks and what a newbie wants to know. I'm frustrated with all these videos that say they are for beginning ads but they actually start in the middle. You got it right! Thank you.

Nice Video Jerry, however when I tried to share a post i clicked on the arrow and selected the business I wanted to post as, it showed in the window the business icon but when i shared to the page it posted as me and not the business. What do i need to do to make sure it posts as business and not me?
Not sure what happened then Brad. It should always post as whatever you selected from the drop down - could have been a bug?
There are places you can only post as your personal profile though - if the business isn't available, that's a place on Facebook that businesses can't post. Does that make sense Brad?
Can you post from your business page on a local towns FB page? Mine just keeps reverting back to my personal fb
I have a profile for social media. I have been debating on making a second profile to make a business page off of. Or just use that profile as a business profile. Witch would you suggest. Or should I just make my business page off of my regular profile?

If there is no drop down that means you are probably in a place that Business Pages can't comment.

What is the difference of a Public Figure page that I started long time ago but never published and a personal page and adding a business page? I am ready to make the Public Figure page live for marketing myself as a business coach. Do you suggest I continue with just the current public figure page or get rid of it and start a personal page and add a business page. My business is my name by the way which then I would have 2 pages with the same name and when searching, they will see 2 and may end up on my personal instead of my business. Thanks for your time and I really appreciate you to the point videos. Cheers, Steve.
Hey Steve! If your old page has never been published I thin you could go head and just publish it.
As far as having a profile and a page with the same name, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I have it and it hasn't been a problem. You could always name your business page "Steve Holloway Business Coaching" or something similar.
@@mrjerrypotter Thank you very much for your reply, greatly appreciated! This Public Figure page was done in 2014 and then you created just a Public Figure page and no personal page. As far as I can see comparing my wife's personal and other business pages, the only difference is I can't search for people as there is no search! (Not that I want to search for anyone anyway). I don't know if you are familiar with the 2014 days of creating either a public figure or personal page and hopefully you are. I really don't want to post personally right now, who knows in the future as my wife does most of that anyway :-) I just want to make sure of the direction I take with the current page or new personal/business page. I want to make sure I am getting the best application to market myself!! What do you think? Again, thank you so much for taking your precious time to answer my question. I look forward to learning from you! Being a bottom line personality, you hit the target! Thanks a million!
The Facebook Business Page is fine, just know that it is really tough to get organic reach. If you are focusing your efforts, I wonder if it might be better to do it with a personal profile on LinkedIn where it's easier to engage and get more organic reach.
Something to consider!
Thanks for the video! I have a question. If I make a post from my business page, will it show up on my personal timeline?
Not as long as you are posting as your business page.
First congratulate for your great video!
I am the administrator of a business page which has about 500 followers. The personal page which the business page has been created has about 850 followers. Most of them are clients of my company. So I am inviting them to follow my business page. Generally is it right to find and add friends new potential clients first on the personal page and then invite them to my business page? Also many people find me and sent me friend request on my personal page.
Usually the personal page should be inactive in order not to confuse the followers (consider that my surname is about the same with my company name)?
Also is there a way to invite people through e-mail contacts?
It is against Facebook's terms to use your personal profile for business. I don't know if they'd crack down on you but FYI. Whether they come to your personal or business page first is personal preference. And if you want to invite people via email you just send them a link to your page. Make sure to include a really good reason they should bother to Follow it though.
I created a business page. Question on posting on someone else's personal profile as my business page. I understand post has my personal name. But can I block business post from posting to my personal FB. I use my personal FB for family and don't really want to mix it with business.
Hi Jerry, I have an app on my phone where I can create a post and share onto facebook. I would like it to go straight onto my business page but it doesn't give me the option to do this, I can only post it onto to my personal page, then share onto my business page. Is there a way to change this please?
Depends on the app, that's not necessarily a Facebook thing.
The workaround is to instead save your creation to your phone, then upload it directly.
@@mrjerrypotter Thanks! I saved to phone then post. Brilliant! it worked (why didn't I think of that) xx
Awesome to hear Carla!
Hi Jerry, thanks for the helpful video, yet I still have a question. I created a Facebook page for my NGO, from my personal account. I then created an Instagram account, and paired it to my Facebook page, to post stories on both at once. Yet, the manager of this Instagram account is receiving all the notifications from both the Facebook page and my personal page (including my messenger). Do you know why?

Hi Jerry, very useful video, but having an issue on the app on my phone. I can comment on a post as myself, but then randomly it will automatically post as my business page and I have no way to change which one I comment with. Are you able to shed any light on this? Hope it makes sense too.
You can only comment as some accounts in certain places. For example, business pages can't comment on personal profiles. If you have the option to choose, you should be a small down-arrow on the posting box where you can choose who to comment as. If it's not there, it will automatically comment as the only option.
Does that make sense?
@@mrjerrypotter I've noticed it's only on certain posts. There's no drop down the change on the app on my phone, tried looking everywhere, it's only just started to do it, quite annoying when I want to tag someone and it comes up as the business page! Thanks for replying though
Sorry - sounds like a bug then. Hopefully it will work itself out in the next couple days!
Hello Jerry, I need help. I have a business page. When I go to post an ad to our left top of the post shows my personal profile is on the posting tab instead of my business logo.
Hi David! Are you sure you still have access to the page? Or is it possible you were removed as an Admin/Editor/etc.?
It's easier to understand when you explain it like that. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Jerry, I can post from my personal page on the computer easily. However, when I'm on the run and on my phone trying to engage with my followers, I can't seem to respond as myself on my business page. Any advice for this particular problem?
Yes! There's a separate app designed for Business Pages. It's called the Facebook Pages Manager app - find it in your app store.
@@mrjerrypotter I didn't know there was a separate app for business pages. Good looking on that one. However, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I still don't have the option to respond to my business page from my personal page on my phone 😩. What am I doing wrong?
I didn't understand your original question. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to do that on your phone. It's set up so that people reply as their business page (which most people are looking to do). You can do it on the computer though.
You might try in a mobile browser instead of the Facebook App? Haven't tried it though.
@@mrjerrypotter that's what we discovered. When we log onto Facebook from an internet browser we can then choose which profile to use when interacting on the business page.
I want to give a login for my UA-cam profile that goes to my business page... this is done through a bot, so all I can do is choose the account login... so that will automatically go to my personal page... so there is no separate login that goes directly to the business page???
Are you asking about UA-cam or Facebook? You said UA-cam, but you are also asking about business pages - just want to confirm.
Five Minute Social Media - Jerry Potter thanks for reply... I did mean FB and the bot being used (for PATREON) eventually allowed me to pick which of my FB pages I wanted to land on.. so I picked my business page! Answered!
Great!
Good morning! I just bought a small business from my boss. She is unable to add me as administrator and delet herself
I am unable to even see the page any longer she was able to give my daughter control of the page but she is still attached and has not deleted herself. She claims she can not make anyone administrator. Should I just start all over. This business has been around for 12 years
She had created ot off her own personal page but it is separate from her personal page. We have watched so many videos on how to do this. Part of the sale she is to give up all pages
Hi Jerry...dumb question...I want to work on my business page but are not ready to put it out there...I am unsure how to keep it private until I am ready to share it...
At the top of your page's settings, you can choose to Unpublish the page if it goes up before you're ready.
Do I get a separate inbox for messaging when I create a business profile? If yes, will I get a notification when I get a dm to my business inbox while I'm on my personal profile, or do I have to switch between profiles to check each inbox?
Your Facebook Business Page will come with it's own inbox, yes (unless you disable it). Unless you set your page up inside a Business Manager account, you should get a notification on your personal profile.
Thanks for the explanation. Just discovered you now. A quick question tho... How do I use my business profile to post and comment on a group I created (for business). I created the group in my personal profile (I don't know any other way) and now would like to connect with my business profile so I post in that group as the business. Make sense?
Will this work on mobile phone setup? Or just in PC?
There were several things covered in the video - what specifically are you wanting to know about mobile?

Hi Jerry,
Thank you for this informative video. I've subscribed and will watch more videos as I've got time.
*I have a question.
I've set up a business page but did so before I found out that keeping the business page and personal page is possible. So I created a dummy account and then set up my business account from it.
Is there a way to transfer my business page from this dummy account to my own personal account?
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bob Davis
Yup! Just make yourself an Admin on the page: ua-cam.com/video/AYc8o2dMpbY/v-deo.html
Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome!
Very helpful 🙏 thankyou
You're welcome!
hi good video but i am still not sure who i can put as admin to separate my business and personal pages. Most people will have a personal page so who should i chose as admin for the business?
You should be an Admin, and maybe one other person you trust 100%. Anyone else who needs access should be no more than an Editor.
My question is more about the privacy settings. I couldn't find a separate privacy setting place for just my business page. So I want to keep my private page, well private, and my business page open to the public. Is that automatic or do I have to change the settings? If so where? Link to a video if you already covered this would be fine.
Thank you so much for the video Jerry and I apologize if this has been asked and answered 100 times in the 700 comments! I created a business page. I go to the business page and want to comment on someone else's business page as my business. I search for their page and when I get there to create a post it has gone back to my personal profile so my post will show my name, not my business name. Other businesses post on that page so I know it is possible but I can't figure out how to post on their page as my business. There is no drop down in the post area to change my identity back to my business page. I want to post on a Chamber of Commerce page that allows businesses to post on their page. Thank you!
I'd like to post on my IG and FB group at the same time sometimes (separate from my personal page), but it defaults to my FB personal page. How do I make that FB group a separate entity?
Hi! Love your quick explanations. I'm having an issue. I can seem to create a new post on another business page as my page. When I go to a business's page I want to create a post on using my business page, I cant seem to see an option that allows me to post as my page rather than my personal page?
I think they are phasing this tool out, but if it's still there for you, there should be a down-arrow on the right side of the posting box where you can decided who to post as.
Thanks for the video! Do you know how to get the follow button to show up beside your name in each of your posts on your business page?
I have this same question
Hi Again. I can make a trusted friend admin but if they have a personal fb page wont the problem just be transferred to my business page when her/his personal friends post on the business page? thanks Tony
What problem will be transferred? His or her personal friends won't be connected to the page at all.
ok great thanks ,. that would be good. thanks again for your help. @@mrjerrypotter
Thank you for your video! I have a question. When I go to other page I can't comment on that page's posts, but when it's on my feed I have this icon for changing with whom I interacting (personally or page) on the same post I saw. Interacting in other page's posts is important to me. Also mention notifications gets me on my page, but not specific post. Could someone help me with that? New facebook layout is a bit confusing.

How do I link my business email with my FB business page so I can set up appointments from messenger that link to my business outlook calendar?
From what I can see Sandi, Messenger appointments will only link with Google Calendars. So you'll need to sync your Google calendar with your Outlook calendar. Lots of tutorials available for that: www.google.com/search?q=sync+google+calendar+with+outlook&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS777US777&oq=sync+google+calend&aqs=chrome.1.0l3j69i57j0l2.6064j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Hi Jerry... I really enjoyed your video.... BUT... I tried creating a business page a year or so ago (the way you outlined) and my friends quickly started seeing my business page as a suggested page for them and I started seeing my friends as suggested friends for my business page. This also happened on Instagram. Did I do something wrong?
I don't think so - Facebook is just trying to help grow your accounts. But none of your friends are seeing a message that says, "Maybe you should like this page that BRIAN made."
I cannot bring up my own name to add as Editor and Moderator in Page Roles. I've confirmed the email address I signed up with on FB plus tried my name as it appears on FB. Other names similar to mine or my address pop up but not me. I need to be Admin, Editor and Moderator. Any other suggestions?
That setting tends to be buggy. You should just be able to put in your email address.
Greetings,
I created a business page last night and published it, but when I search for it, it's not showing up when I have others search for it. It only shows links to posts that I posted lasted night on my business page when creating it. However, my personal page that my business page is linked to pops up in the search engine for Facebook.
New pages take at least a few days before showing up in search results. It's a brief waiting period to see if the page is legit. If you have Likes, start posting, fill out all the info, etc. it may come up sooner.
Hello. So I'm needing to set up a fb page for a new local business in which I'd be the admin for. I'm the social media manager for the company. I don't want it connected to any of my personal pages nor do I need this company one set up as a "business" so it could be a group I guess. We don't want the public to be able to comment bc we want the page for advertising events etc to get the word out. I use mainly my phone for social media since I'm not with a computer all day. I don't want to have to log in and out of my personal page amd then the company page if I don't have to. If the company account gets hacked I don't want it messing up my personal stuff either if that makes sense. Any advice on how to set it up? Thanks
Thanks for the info, Jerry. I do not have FB now. I see that I must create a personal profile to have a business page. My question is, can I make a personal page that is set up as completely private and still have a business page or does Facebook force you to keep your personal page more than just a completely private one? Thank you!
If you create a personal profile and don't add any friends, it's pretty much private.
@@mrjerrypotter Gotcha...just wondering if a personal page you set up with the settings of "only me" under privacy could still be used as the private account that is required for a business page as the admin.
@@mrjerrypotter hey Jerry , thanks for your advice here. when you create a group , will it also be separate from your personal account. Will nobody know my personal account , as long as i don't mention it in the group ...? thanks ! if it is visible, can you 'hide' your personal account. .?
Yes Laurie!
Kri2tof - Should be possible, you just need to create a group as your business page.
Hi Jerry how do I delete a business page and can I set up a new page with the same name of the business?
To delete go to the business page's Settings and scroll to the bottom - you should see the option there. To create a new page, just do it the same way you did last time.
My issue as I look at my business page it has me signed in personally and my social media people can access my personal account which I dont want...there is no way of just signing in to the business page.
Stefano Miraglia me too help plz
Stefano and Noah - Your pages are separate. When you are signed into your business page you might see your name in places, but the public doesn't see that.
If you are having other people work on your business page, they should be signing in with their own Facebook account. You can give them access to your page by giving them a role on it: ua-cam.com/video/AYc8o2dMpbY/v-deo.html
Thank you for this video. Can you help me understand why I cannot post on someone's page who has liked my business page with my business profile? It only gives me my personal profile option. Also, I want to add my biz page to my MailChimp widget/button at the footer but it also goes to my personal account even though directed to the business. May be related. Thanks so much!
I see you answered the first question in your video. oops. I didn't watch the whole thing first time around. Any idea about Mail Chimp?
Nope, but I'd contact MailChimp support for that Good luck De Camille!
Thank you Jerry. Can I deactivate a Facebook business profile page without deactivating the personal page it's associated with?
I'm not 100% sure on your question, but I think you're asking if you can deactivate a business page without deleting the personal profile. If so, yes. Just go to your page, click Settings on the upper right, and scroll all the way to the bottom - it should be there.
@@mrjerrypotter Thanks Jerry! much appreciated.
when i log into my personal fb page, my business profile is also there at the right hand corner. i do not want to delete or remove it, but i want to compeletely seperate the page. how can i do that please?
