Facebook Friend Requests and Difficult Facebook Friends

Two common questions I get about Facebook relate to Facebook friend requests and dealing with difficult Facebook friends. Regarding friend requests, I suggest you create a set of criteria to help you determine whether to accept them. There could be times that you deviate, but if you have it, life becomes much simpler. As for difficult Facebook friends, there are several options of various levels of extremity.   How to Reduce the Number of Friend Requests You Receive Before I go into some possible criteria for accepting requests, I want to step back and talk about your settings. To cut [...]

Using LinkedIn as an Attorney, Accountant, Financial Advisor, or a Related Professional

  There are special considerations when using LinkedIn as an Attorney, Accountant Financial Advisor, or a related professional. Are you one of these types of professionals? If so, keep in mind that you typically have a range of compliance requirements you need to comply with on social media. These requirements will vary by profession and even by companies within a profession. Often these requirements restrict some types of information what you can include in your LinkedIn profile. Also, when you want to post on LinkedIn, you will likely need to get the post approved by compliance. Some companies will also [...]

How to Effectively Narrow Your Searches on LinkedIn

Do you know how to effectively narrow your searches on LinkedIn? Business owners and sales professionals search LinkedIn for potential clients and referral partners. Job seekers search to learn about companies and those in charge of hiring for them. LinkedIn provides several filters that will help you to narrow any LinkedIn search. These are: years of experience, function, seniority level, company size and when joined (meaning when they joined LinkedIn.) There are other filters available only if you pay for either the Sales Navigator or LinkedIn Recruiter option. To help you get more specific results, use a Boolean search. The [...]

How to Achieve a Consistent Company Brand on LinkedIn

Do you know how to achieve a consistent company brand on LinkedIn? Although company management can’t dictate how an employee or contractor uses LinkedIn, they can provide useful guidelines. Recently, I worked with a Denver-area company on their brand consistency on Linked. Together, we developed a set of guidelines for everyone associated with the company to use on LinkedIn. Of course, guidelines of this type can also be applied to Facebook or other social media sites.   Suggestions for an Employee’s or Contractor’s LinkedIn Profile Employees or contractors should use the company-recommended background image. This image could have the company’s [...]

Use Facebook to Spread the Word About a Nonprofit

How often do you use book to Facebook to spread the word about a nonprofit? Many of us are involved with nonprofits, whether as employees, volunteers, or donors.   One Example: Warren Village Recently I was helping a new client, a job seeker, to better understand Facebook, especially its business pages. I asked her where she would like to work. She said, Warren Village, a Denver nonprofit. According to their mission statement on their Facebook Business page, “Warren Village exists so that low-income, single-parent families can achieve sustainable personal and economic self-sufficiency.” Here’s a link to their page: https://www.facebook.com/WarrenVillage/ As it [...]

Protecting Your Security on Facebook

Are concerned with protecting your security on Facebook? Feeling secure while using your Facebook account is a top priority for everyone these days. Some people are even avoiding Facebook completely due to concerns over security.   General Considerations I’ve noticed that there seems to be a higher than usual number of people having their Facebook accounts hacked lately. So, I decided to rerun some security-related information I published earlier this year. More and more often, people are accessing Facebook from their mobile app rather than their computer. Yet, when dealing with security-related matters, such as changing your password, I suggest [...]

The Value of Sharing and Schmoozing on LinkedIn

Many people aren’t aware of the value of sharing and schmoozing on LinkedIn. Some people don’t realize the value of using these features of LinkedIn. Others might want to use them, but they don’t know how to do so. In case you haven’t heard of the word “schmooze,” it comes from the Yiddish word schmuesn which means “to chat.” Synonyms for schmooze are talk, converse, mingle, mix, hobnob, or network.   Why Some People Don’t Share on LinkedIn They don’t know it’s even an option to share something on LinkedIn. They don’t see the point of sharing. They don’t know [...]
