Here are some more great tips from Tom Harris, our favorite Musings guy!
The name on your Facebook personal profile must be your name, not your business name. This is perhaps the most egregious mistake that anyone makes on Facebook. If you are John Smith who owns ABC Company, then your personal profile must be named John Smith, not ABC Company, and the photo must be of you, not your company logo. Personal profiles are just that – personal. They are not to be used for your business. If you have already made this mistake, undoing it might be painful and awkward, but necessary. Start now.
Do not use your personal profile to actively promote your business. You can mention your business activities frequently, but not in a “sales” tone. Saying “I met with a client today and signed a deal for ____.” is different than saying “Call me for a quote on your _____!” The first is simply telling about your life and activities. The second is an attempt to sell. Facebook is not a place to sell anything.
