Get your Facebook Username and Vanity URL

In order to market your Facebook page and be able to include it in printed marketing material, it is important that you get a vanity URL for your Facebook page, also called a Facebook username.

Think about it this way:  Would you ever consider including http://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Social-Partner-Social-Media-Management/1645t34995582971?v=app_497659752878&ref=sgm on your business card?  Probably not a great idea.

But if it looked something like this facebook.com/MySocialPartner it would look a lot more attractive and would show your customers that you have a presence in Social Media and that they can connect with you there.

I have been asked several times on how to do this so I figured I would put together a quick video walking you through the process.

Keep in mind that you have to have a minimum of 25 people “Liking” your page before you can set your username.

Please a comment and tell me what you think.

Thank you for watching!
