The advantages to switching from a profile to an artist page on Facebook (or starting an artist page without a preexisting profile) are many. Not only is it easy to notify your fans you’re no longer using a personal page – just click the ’suggest to friends’ button, but there’s no fan limits, no need to confirm fan requests, it can be viewed without a Facebook profile, and your fans can suggest it to their circle of friends, creating viral growth.
