facebook Do’s and facebook Don’ts

Let’s get you building better relationships on facebook! Here is a list of things you should do, and things you should not do! Follow these simple rules and you will not only build your business, but many lifelong friends will be developed along the way too!

Credit & inspiration for this post goes to the great Brian Tomkins in Chicago. He has been a huge influence on me in the social media world, and a person I am proud to call a friend! Brian will be in Indy to speak & share at RE Barcamp Indy!

facebook Do’s:

• BE AUTHENTIC. People want to connect with the REAL YOU
• Have a nice professional profile pic – You never get a second chance to make a first impression!
• Have a complete profile – short and powerful
• Set the rules of your facebook relationships – Lead by example
• Be a giver. Leave good comments on posts, photos, notes, and videos
• Be a master connector. Suggest friendships to others.
• Say happy birthday!
• Applaud Success. Pat people on the back and let them know you care
• Comliment and Thank friends on their wall
• Reach out and connect with people who have small networks. They will appreciate you for it!
• Always answer messages or wall posts promptly!
• Clean up your wall regularly. Keep it nice and neat
• Do not be afraid to un-tag yourself from photos or video if needed

facebook Don’ts

• Do not forget what you are here for, to build relationships
• Please do not raid a persons friend list. It is not right and will only hurt your reputation.
• Always keep in mind that what is on your wall is their for the world to see.
• No games, farmville, mafia, ect….It only annoys others and brings no value
• Never spam or over-promote yourslef on other people walls or in their groups
• Do not invite everybody to every cause. It decreases the value of what you are trying to accomplish
• Do not post photos of children, animals, cartoons, or logos to your profile photo.
• Do not tag others in photos and videos without permission
• Do not tag others in unprofessional photos or videos.

This is a basic list, and will take you far. facebook has grown up, and so have the people using the platform. Many companies are looking at social media profiles before they hire people, and everything you put out there is a reflection of you.

LOVE IT!
