How To Use Facebook As Your Facebook Fan Page
As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, you can now post as your Facebook Page on other Pages.
This means that you can switch to posting on Facebook as your Fan Page, Now you can comment on other pages as your page, and not as yourself. This serves two purposes:
1. Posting as your Facebook Fan Page helps you separate your business from your personal profile, since now you can communicate with your business connections as your Fan Page.
2. Posting as your Facebook Fan Page helps you promote your Facebook Fan Page more, because now you can comment on other pages as your page. Post a good, valuable comment and people will come and check out your Fan Page. But don’t just comment on other pages for the sake of commenting – make sure to add value when you post!
To switch to post as your Facebook Fan Page, click on “Account” on the top of the page and choose “Use Facebook As Page”. If you have more than one Facebook Page, choose the page you want to post as, and you will be able to start posting as that page.
Once you switch to posting as a page, you will see statistics for your Fan Page on top of the page. They will look like this:
The first number is the number of fans that joined your Fan Page since you looked at the stats. The second number is the number of comments, posts, Likes for posts, etc. Click on this number for the actual list of comments, posts and Likes on your Fan Page. These are handy statistics that help you keep track of the activity on your Facebook Fan Page.
Here is another thing that you can do while you are logged in as your Facebook Fan Page – you can “Like” other Facebook Fan Pages as a page, and once you like them, you can post on them as well. Once you like a page, you will be able to “Like” posts on it, post on it and respond to other posts. When you “Like” other pages and post on them, you will be posting under the name of your Facebook Fan Page.
Once you “Like” a few other Facebook Fan Pages as your page, you will have a News Feed consisting of posts from these pages. Just go to Facebook.com and take a look at the feed. It looks just like your regular News feed, with posts from the Facebook Pages that you Liked.

Thanks for all that explanation, Babiana. This all makes good sense. A question though: how are my friends going to recognize me and how am I going to interact with them after I will have switched to the Fan Page option?
Right now, they know me under my real name and are not especially aware of the fact that I have a FB Page (despite my efforts to tell them).
What do you suggest?

Nadia, when you switch to posting as a Fan Page, only friends that are already your fans will be able to see what you are doing. Your friends are friends of your profile, so they will only see when you do something as your profile.
The good news is that you switch between posting as your profile and your Fan Page anytime.
What you want to do is to use your status update on your profile, from time to time, to let your friends know about your Fan Page and what is going on at your Fan Page. Don’t post about your Fan Page all the time, but do it consistently. That way, more of your friends will find out about your Fan Page and join in.
