INTERNET MARKETING

Ok -- so I'm trying to set up a biz page on FB. Maybe I should not have associated it with my personal page (I remember it asked me).

The FB system makes it very difficult to FIND my new page (biz page), it also makes huge assumptions about what I'm trying to set up.

When I am on the new biz page, and I click on "HOME" I do NOT go to the main (home?) page of the biz page I'm setting up -- instead, I mysteriously go to my PERSONAL FB page.

Why??

What button SHOULD I click on to get to the main (overall) page of the biz page I'm setting up??

The FB system seems to take over my wishes -- in the interests of being "smart" (??)

How can I set FB to be DUMBER (+ do what ***I*** want it to do, not what ***IT*** decides to do)???

Please adivse!

Thanks!

I would delete the biz page and create it again without the association, depending on what the page is about

  Can I now cut the association? I already spend hours creating the biz page.
  
  Or -- can I zap most of the personal page + just get a new personal page? Will FB let me have more than one personal page?
  
  Thanks

In facebook you are logged in as yourself. If your facebook account controls the page of a business, go to that page and look for the link that says "edit page" in the top left under the picture.

By the way, one of the major unresolved downsides of fb pages is that the creator is still a permanent admin. So if you sell the business, you cannot disable that person's access. No clue why that is but it's a glitch that needs to be fixed. I hope enough people complain about that for the fb people to address it soon.
