Want a fan page but not a personal page?


Unfortunately, if this is what you wanted to do, you can’t as Facebook currently don’t let you. As to set up a Facebook fan page you must have a personal private page as this personal page allows you be the administrator of the page. A page must have an administrator to work.

There are a number of ways of keeping your fan page that allows you not having a personal page. The first option is to add another administrator to the page and they can then take over the running of the fan page, allowing you to delete your profile page from Facebook. However, the problem with this is that you cannot access the Facebook page now, unless the other personal that you gave administration rights to, is willing to give you their login details that will allow you access to the fan page. Therefore, this is not an ideal situation.

The other option is that you set up your profile page and your fan page linked to that page, then change the privacy setting of you profile page. As you can see in the picture below you can edit your privacy settings. You can change who sees your information and what they see on your page. You cannot block everyone and everything but you can cut it down to a minimum and if you don’t have personal details on it and you don’t have a profile picture then people won’t know that the page owner is you. This means that your profile page is just there as a link to allow you access to you fan page. Therefore, this is probably the best option for you as it stands.
