If you’re like me, your personal and business have already blended on Facebook. I discuss both work and life and let go a long time ago of any thought that professional and personal could be separate.
I don’t know about you, but that still bugs me and I still want some separation, besides creating a Fan page, which I am trying to do in my “spare time.” HA! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sharon-Sayler-Impression-Engineers/261959940130
I recommend actually splitting your “friends" list into two on your Facebook page (not a Fan page)
Here’s how to split your list into personal and professional.
– Go to your friends list by clicking on the Friends tab at the top of your Facebook page.
– Click the “Create a New List” button and create one called Professional.
– You can now go through your entire “Friend” list and add all of your professional contacts into this new and separate business list.
To take it one step further… if you really share a lot of personal stuff on Facebook, go to the profile privacy settings under the Settings link in the top right corner of Facebook—then click on privacy—then on profile.
Once at your profile privacy settings separate your Facebook into personal and professional segments by restricting access to parts of your profile you want private by using your newly created Professional list.
For example, if you don’t want your professional friends to see your pictures of your beer drinking bulldog, click on “edit photo album privacy settings.” In the “who can see this” drop down, click on “customize” and then in the “except these people” field type the professional friends list. Now only your personal friends will be able to see your pictures. I think you get the idea….
Have a great day whatever your adventure
