Hey Warriors... please read my question VERY carefully as no one as yet has been able to answer it for me.

How do you set up a Facebook Like page that just has the name/phrase you'd like to use after the .com *****NOT***** com/pages/yourname-product/178001948900329

Here are two examples - the first page is the 'name only' like page, and the other one has lots of annoying numbers after the name....

Gary Vaynerchuk | Facebook

Mick Jagger | Facebook

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Beaumont.

    A while back, facebook let users choose a username to take the place of that number thing.

    Now you can still get a page, but you need to create the page first and get 25 likes in order to change the name of the page itself.

    Ok... so once you have 25+ likes there's something in settings which allows you to change it?

    It is on your profile setting, like in frienster[.]com you can customize your profile url.

    Once you have 25+ Likes you click on edit info in the top right and change the username in general settings.

      I know you can have an unlimited number of fan pages under your "real name" account, according to my FB research.

      Does the username apply to ALL fan pages under your "real name" account?

      If so, how can you have a different username associated with each fan page, to avoid confusion when using different fan pages to reach different niches, since you're limited to ONE real name account?

      Thanks!
