In reply to Ken.

You can only send actual invites from a personal account because that’s where your “friends” reside…in the database of your personal account.

I have found success in inviting people who like posts on my page. When you get notifications for “likes” on a post from your page, there is an option (button) next to anyone that’s not already a “fan” to invite them to like your page.

Lastly, you can also “Promote your page” by clicking the “Promote” button. These are all paid options, but you can set very low budgets, and by defining your audience get a nice ROI.

Hope this helps!

First of all, thank You for all your help.
My question is, the only I created my personal page is to create a business page. I rather not use my personal one at all,to be honest. The only way see to engage other is spending money. When you try to invite just by typing in name. It doesn’t work for me.

In reply to Jukka Kohonen. I know that there are limits to invitations, and to number of fans, so it could be one of those.

Hello!

I have a problem with my Facebook page.
I’m as admin in two artist profile pages which I own, but the other on lost its function to invite my friends to like my page…
I’ve tried to troubleshoot the differences between these two Facebook pages but so far the only difference is that the other page is linked with my Instagram page. That is the one in which Invite friends-option was lost a short while ago. I am troubled with this and would like to do anything to recover the invitation function.
Do you have any solution or advice in mind?
Thank You!

In reply to Terry Kauffman. Terry, you can use your personal profile to link to your business page. You can share your business posts on your personal profile, as well. To invite your friends to like your page, go to your page and click on the three dots next to the Share button (underneath your cover image), in the drop down, select "Invite Friends". You can also share your business posts in any groups that you are a member of... AS LONG AS THE GROUP'S RULES ALLOW IT. Facebook has many tools to help you with your business page, including Insights and Publishing Tools. Insights can help you discover your audience habits, so you know when to post, and Publishing Tools allow you to schedule your posts for the perfect times that will reach your audience.

I’m REALLY confused about Facebook and using it for a business. I’m pretty tech savy but trying to figure out anything about how to use Facebook for business is virtually impossible. If I can’t use my Profile to tell my friends about my business then how do you tell anyone about your business? A Page can’t have friends only fan’s or Likes. So, again, how do I use my Page to communicate with people I know or groups that would be interested in my business? Forget asking Facebook, it took me nearly a month to get them to change the name of my Page to the actual name of my business. It’s too long to explain here.

In reply to John White.

I personally do not find Facebook for business clunky and illogical. It’s not meant to be the same as it is for personal accounts, it’s meant to be a vehicle for (1) connecting with your audience and providing an avenue for getting your news and posts out to that audience; and (2) advertising to certain demographics.

Used properly, Facebook can be a very valuable part of your marketing efforts.

FB was a college project for fun. When they got to the real world they had to find a way to actually monetize their product so they had to add business functions. All the business stuff is an afterthought and retro-fit. So that’s the real reason using FB business functionality is so bizarre, clunky and illogical!
