How To Create a Facebook Page Username with "0" Page Likes

Did you just create a new Facebook Page without a username? Don't get seated, the username you might like to use could be taken by someone else thus, it becomes unavailable! (sure this could freak you).

With a Facebook Page username, People can search and find your page easily. Without the username, all you could see is the Facebook Page Name (e.g RomShillzz Blog) which could differ from your Page Username (e.g @romshillzzblog). By default, new pages may not immediately be able to create a username, so if your page has not reached the minimum of 25 likes, you can't be eligible to have a custom username and when you try creating one while you aren't eligible, you will get an error message as follows "This Page isn't eligible to have a username". So in this post, I will be showing you on How To Create a Facebook Page Username with "0" Page Likes.
