  6. Type in the link to your daily deal site and add some basic info like
    "We provide access to exclusive daily offers at the best places to eat, exercise, shop, and relax. Think 50-90% off top spas, restaurants, and boutiques. Each day, a new offer will be featured from one of our well-edited selection of local businesses. From sweet treats, yoga and pilates to the best restaurants and shops in town, we got you covered!"

  7. The newly created page will have 1 "Like" if you checked that box on the previous step and you listed as its Admin. Click "Edit" next to the "About" section to fill in the information about your page.

  9. To have a nice-looking link like http://facebook.com/MyPage, you need to set a username for that page. Facebook allows setting up a username after your page gets 25 "Likes"

  10. When your page gets enough "Likes", you will be able to configure the username for a page. Select it wisely, as Facebook doesn't allow changing it later. You can read more about Facebook page names here

  11. Once you got the page set up you may link it to your Getsocio site by going to Admin section -> Settings -> Facebook and pasting the name of it there. After you do so, it will appear in "Follow us" section in the bottom.
