    NO NO NO!

    Facebook DOES NOT ALLOW MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS.

    They will find out and ban you. Maybe even sue you if you make money from a violation of TOS.

    You make your ONE personal profile, then make as many pages and groups as you like.

    You can promote all your FB pages and groups to all your friends, all your contacts, send traffic to your FB pages like it was your own website, but it is NOT your own website.

    FB owns everything you put on FB. PERIOD. They even own your connection to your fans/likes/friends.

    The only way to "own" your FB fans is to get them off of FB and on to your own list (aweber, etc) with a free gift/email sign up.

    You can use the FBML application to paste your HTML Aweber code into your FB fanpage.

    One way to promote your FB pages is by creating notes which are highly optimized for your keyword targets. This is perhaps the most overlooked strategy within FB promotions. A note is like a blog article within FaceBook. I highly recommend creating notes as a strategy for building traffic results from FB.

        As I wrote in my original reply, you can send a message to your friends about your page. When they like it, it shows up in their stream, and their friends see it and maybe like it. If THEY like, it shows up on the streams of people you don't know.

        Start a "play Page" and mess around with it to get the feel for it, then delete it without promoting it so you know how the interface works. Too much to go inot in a post.

        See that sig link I have? I have a FB version coming out in March. I'm going to WSO the FB sessions at the end of Feb. These questions are why I'm doing the whole thing anyway.

        Can you put a video on your fanpage telling people to like it?
        Can you make a video about whatever topic you page is on and in
        the description box put a link to your fanpage, and in the video give a
        call to action to click the link and like your page...

        What graphics do you have on your Fanpage that would direct a visitor to like it?

        You can view my pages if you'd like to see what I mean:

        1) Tish Washington | Facebook
        2) http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/MyVideoTalkInfo/152819658102953

        It helps to give a way a free report or something OF VALUE that would make a visitor want to hit the like button. My pages are new so I only have few fans, but the ones that I got, that is how I got them.
        I hope that helps you.

    You can also do the web 2.0 strategy with your Facebook account, its one way of promoting your site through FB.

      Definitely don't chance it. Use one account and play by the rules.
