How To:Convert Your Facebook Profile To Facebook Page

Did you know that if you've been using a Facebook profile (timeline) for your organization, Facebook could shut down your
profile and revoke access to your content? It's true.

In fact, it's a direct violation of their rules. According to Facebook, "profiles (timelines)
must represent an individual. Users aren't permitted to maintain an account under the name of their organization, or use personal
accounts to advertise or promote themselves professionally."

The good news is that Pages have better features for your organization, such as
insights, the ability to add mutiple
administrators, and there are no limits to the
number of people who can "Like" your Page.

So if you need to convert your Facebook
profile to a Page here’s how you do it.
Step 1: Download your important
data
When you convert your Timeline to a Facebook
Page, Facebook transfers your profile pictures
and adds all of your friends and subscribers as
people who "like" your page. No other content
gets carried over to your new Page.
NOTE: You should download the file that
contains all of your sent and received
messages and all of the photos and vides
you've uploaded to Facebook before you
migrate.
Download your Timeline information .

Step 2: Appoint new admins
Be sure to appoint a new Group admin or a
new Facebook Page admin to any Groups or
Pages that you manage. You will lose these
admin rights during the conversion process.

Step 3: Convert your Timeline to a
Page
