Facebook Custom URLs

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Have you noticed on Facebook that some fan pages have nice neat logical branded URLs and others have a generic URL made up of numbers and letters?

Would you like to have a custom branded URL for your fan page?

When you first set up your Facebook Page, you are given a generic URL of numbers and letters.  Once you have successfully passed the point of having 25 people “like this” page, you can create a custom URL for your fan page.

To create your custom URL, go to http://www.facebook.com/username/ .

If you have not yet gotten 25 people to click  “like this” for your fan page, remember that you can always send out a quick note to your friends/family/co-workers by using the “Suggest to Friends” option just below the image on the left hand of your screen.

Happy branding!
