What is a proper representation on Facebook? Depending on what your intent is, there are three options: Personal Page, Group, and Business Page.

1. Personal page

The purpose of the personal page is to provide you with a means to interact and connect with friends and portray yourself.

Your personal page is what you start with. It is about you as a person, with a profile picture, your name and the personal data you choose.

On anyone’s personal page, we can see a profile picture, name, and a button next to it that says “Add as Friend.” This is where you can add them as a friend if you want to connect with them. .

People who join you on your personal page are called “friends,” but depending on your linking strategy, you may approve people you know but have never met in person.

2.Group

The purpose of a group is to connect like-minded people or provide information on a topic that is of interest to you and your group members, for example vegetarians.

Next to the profile picture and the name of the group you will see the symbol of a group of two people and the ‘Join’ button if you want to join this group. Anyone can start a group by going to the ‘group applications’ and clicking on ‘Create a group’.

People who are part of a group are called ‘members’.

3. Business Page

The purpose of a business page is to promote your business, product or service or represent a public figure, celebrity or band.

Next to your profile picture and name, you will see a business page symbol which is a yellow flag and a ‘Become a Fan’ button to click if you want to join this business page.

People who have joined a business page are called ‘fans’.
