The Professional Ways To Manage Your Social Media Friends And Fans

In our past issue, you figured out how you can use Groups on Facebook for your business. In today’s issue, we will discuss about the proper ways you should communicate with your Fans and Friends from Facebook.
Although people are more or less aware of what proper Netiquette in social media management, the creation and development of Facebook has taken web interaction to a whole new level.
When it comes to Facebook marketing, there are a number of things you have to remember when addressing people.You should evaluate the applications that you use. Whether you use your Facebook account for personal or professional reasons, one should always remember that the internet has an impact on the society. For some, Facebook and other social networks is even the basis of making or breaking relationships from employees ranting about their bosses online to wives finding out about her husband’s affair.
Here are a few things to bear in mind when dealing with people online through Facebook, more so if you’re using it professionally.
- Keep what needs to be Private, Private
Redundant as it may sound, this is the key rule many people disregard. The interaction and sense of voyeurism Facebook gives is a tempting entity but you should remember these things have a habit to backfire you and your business. Do you really want your clients see you puking on your Friday night gimmicks? Or is that nasty remark that’s supposed to be an inside joke among your buds worth the false impression by your business contacts? Remember, the Internet is forever. Your personal or professional contacts may see these down the road if not today. If your life is like an open book, consider the consequence of you having to explain to them each and every action you made in the past.
When Using Facebook for Business, Stop Publishing those Game Updates

Those game updates will make you look incompetent towards potential customers. Remember that you do have the option not to post these updates. To you, it may seem like guilty pleasure. But for your potential customers, these may label you as unprofessional or even irresponsible. Of course, you don’t want to be seen this way, do you?
- Stop Text Posting or Posting when it’s not necessary
‘Prty lst nyt ws frikin awesme!!!’ doesn’t look so good in your business page, does it? Some people may forget that all the characters are at your disposal and besides, you have a relatively longer character limit, so make use of them appropriately. The same thing goes for posting nonsense words or mediocre things. If what’s on your mind isn’t really helpful to your potential customers, resist the urge to post it. Although everyone is entitled to their own bit of cyberspace, these things have a tendency to get one other people’s nerves in the long run. Irritation is not the sentiment you want to conjure up in people.
- Choose Contacts Wisely
You must remember that all news and details posted will appear on their wall. Their other Facebook friends can even see these posts in many occasions. With this, you’d want to only include people who might be interested to your offer. Primary contacts are ideal. You only have a 5,000 limit for contacts after all. If you’re keeping a Facebook page for business reasons, then do not accept friend requests right away. Doing a little bit of research may do your business page good. You can un-friend some people later on after finding out that they aren’t within your target audience.
Watch out for our next issue. We will discuss about delivering value to your potential customers on Facebook.
