A huge post about how to create a Facebook business account without a personal account. The whole thing was filler text and ambiguous sentences like this

The internet is dying, but it is being killed!

This is why AI is not actually a good solution. Perfect example.

It can save you a lot of time when it's right though:

Facebook does not allow you to create multiple accounts though, so it is practically wrong

I'm not familiar with Facebook, but if you can't create a business account without a personal account, how would you create one without having multiple accounts?

Business accounts are actually called pages. They are created inside their platform by personal accounts. A user can create multiple pages about anything really

The question was "without a personal account", not "without using my existing personal account". So it's correct, you first must create a personal account, but misleading in that it implies one person can have multiple personal accounts.

No, you can create multiple accounts, but using different emails.

Facebook is a community where people use their authentic identities. It's against the Facebook Community Standards to maintain more than one personal account.

So yes, you CAN, but it's against their community standards.

You risk them deleting your additional accounts, if they find out that you have made multiple accounts, even with different emails. Seem from a business perspective, it would be way too risky to create an account like that to run your business account, because you risk it being banned. and we all know how well Facebook support works, in order to resolve conflicts like these

You can make multiple accounts admin of a Facebook page, even if one account is banned, you can still manage your page.

I am talking from experience.

It doesn't change the fact that you are breaking their rules. You can also go 200 miles an hour on the interstate if you want and boast that you can do it based on personal experience. You won't come back to tell people of the consequences though

Everyone's gangsta with their extra accounts until the ban hits and an important revenue generating business page (and all other accounts related to it too) are gone for good.

In general nobody can do 200 miles an hour on the interstate, even if you wanted to. Even the cars that can do 200 are rev locked to keep them below 150. Maybe 2% of the cars that can do 200 can actually reach that speed.

hehe what did you do?

I just made a separate Facebook account for my business. That's all. I am not managing the business anymore. But the account still works.

Aside from the fact it’s essentially wrong in your screenshot, you can never trust it so it always requires a follow up web search or something.

Love it for philosophy and text revision where it just has to get you to think or rephrase in a way you can easily vet with your own brain.
