And will help promote your business free of charge and reach a large audience that cares for it,
On the other hand, creating a personal Facebook account will help you to connect with your old school friends, brand new friends, and loved ones.
Unarguably, the Facebook account helps most people to connect with friends and family, share photos and post updates about daily happenings.
For those of us that want to know, let’s stress here that Facebook sets no limit to the number of accounts a person can have.
Some Facebook users opt to have separate accounts for personal interests, friends, family, and coworkers.
Fortunately, owing to the fact that a Facebook account is tied to a unique email address, anyone can create/signup a second account as long as a unique email address is provided.
However, you need to bear in mind that accounts are completely separate and do not share friends, photos or applications.
This post is all about how to create facebook account.
Creating Your Account On FB
The process involved in creating a facebook account is very simple and easy. To create a facebook account, you’ll need the following:
- Your first and last name
- Your cellphone number or a functional email address.
- You’ll choose a password that no one will be able to guess
- Lastly, you’ll need your date of birth and gender
Bear in mind that the email you’ll use in creating your facebook account must be a functional one.
This is because Facebook will send a confirmation link that you’ll use to confirm that you’re not a robot. So make sure you have access to the email.
If you have all of those requirements handy, follow the below guide to figure out how to create a second facebook account:
- Open your web browser and type https://www.facebook.com and click on the enter button to continue to the facebook home page
- Scroll to the facebook account signup section and fill the form accordingly. You can do that by entering your first name, last name, email address or mobile phone number, password, date of birth and gender. Make sure you use your real name so that your friends and loved ones can easily identify you. However, the use of nicknames is also allowed but it must be accepted on the platform.
- Now, click on the Sign Up button at the bottom of the box to create your account on the giant social media platform
- Go to your email, locate and click on the confirmation link sent to you by Facebook to continue to your profile
