Be Sure to Control Your Facebook Business Page

Do you have a Facebook business page to help market your business? If so, did you create it yourself? If not, are you one of its administrators? If someone created it for you, that person automatically became the administrator, usually called the admin. There can be more than one, so make sure they made you an admin rather than just an editor. You need to be able to monitor the activity of any others who work on the page. This is true even if you have a trusted employee or social media professional doing this for you. That’s why you [...]

Challenges of Having Two Facebook Accounts

Many people choose to have two Facebook accounts: one for their personal life and one for their business life. In addition, some will use this business-oriented account to replace having an actual business page. I understand the desire to keep personal and business lives separate on Facebook. However, there are challenges with having two Facebook accounts. And for the most part, these challenges overshadow any perceived benefits. First, it is against Facebook’s terms of service to create an account solely for business purposes. Therefore, Facebook has the right to shut down these accounts, and I am familiar with two instances [...]

Who are your mentors? They might be people you connect with on a regular basis, such as local colleagues who you turn to for business guidance. Or, in this age of social media, they could be people you rarely meet in person, or someone you have never met “in the real world”.
