How do I start a facebook account/page for an entity other than myself. I want to do so for a softball league of which I am a member. Thinking a “group” was what I wanted, I started one last night. However, turns out this is not what I wanted. The facebook home page doesn’t seem to offer any prompts except for personal pages.

Thanks in advance.

If you want a group you create a personal page and on the left side there’s a part that says Groups, click More and click create group. Then invite the people you want to be part of the group.

I think what you want is to make a “Page”. Go into Facebook, and you should see a sidebar with “Favorites”, “Groups”, “Pages” down the left side. Under “Pages” there should be an option to “Create a Page…”

Try that.

Thanks. However, no such option. With the hundreds of thousands of “other than personal” pages on fb, there’s got to be something I’m missing.

Go on to any ‘other than personal’ page - in the top right hand corner you will see the option CREATE PAGE - Click on it
