Under setups, pick "Edit Page".

After that go to "Include a Tab".

3. Secret-- You can only sign up with if you are included by a Facebook close friend. Just members can see the Team, that is in it and what is uploaded.

Name your group and include any associates or advocates you are friends with. Then select the "Develop Group" button. You will certainly be included too so you can publish in the Group as yourself.

You can find your Teams, connect any existing Groups, and develop new Groups under the "Group" tab from now on (or up until Facebook modifications everything once more).

Once you have actually added or linked your Group to your Web page, you now have the alternative of uploading as yourself or as your Page. To change in between the two, choose the dropdown menu before you upload your upgrade.
