Facebook: a page or a profile for your business?
Posted: Sat Dec 07, 2024 9:27 am
When you want to get started on Facebook, a question comes up regularly: should I create a professional profile or a page? It is an algorithm that determines what will be seen by our friends or fans. And the algorithm is more "severe" with pages than with profiles. It would therefore be more advantageous to create a professional profile. And yet! Despite a fairly similar look (profile photo, cover photo, publication feed) a profile and a page are two completely different entities that do not have the same functions at all. So page or profile for your business?
Creating a professional profile: a Facebook ban
Let's start at the beginning: Facebook's terms and conditions . It is very clear that profiles must be used for personal use. It is also forbidden to have multiple different profiles per person. Of course, like every rule, it is often circumvented. Creating a pro profile is at your own risk . If the Facebook team finds out, they can delete your account(s) at any time. And in this case, you will lose everything and will have to wait for Facebook's authorization before creating a new one.
– You will only create one personal account.
– If we delete your account, you will not create any other accounts without our permission.
– You will not use your personal diary primarily for commercial purposes.
The profile as a relay for your professional page
Creating a profile entirely dedicated to your professional life is not allowed by Facebook. However, it is not forbidden to use your personal profile to link your professional information. Once again, Facebook japan whatsapp number data has thought of everything (this Mark is very good). You can segment your personal profile ! And yes, even there, you can choose who will see your publications.
Facebook gives you the ability to sort your friends by creating lists . So, you can make a list of all your family members, your university friends, your childhood friends or your professional relations. When you publish or share information, you can choose to which list(s) your publication will be distributed . I grant you, it is not very simple. It is quite tedious and you have to think about it every time.
In all honesty, it's not something I do. My friends list only contains people I know and have already exchanged with. I don't display my private life, which remains private. I feel I have nothing to hide. My Facebook friends can therefore follow my personal adventures (the concerts I attend, my travels, my favorites and rants) and my professional adventures (recently, the crowdfunding campaign for SYKE Prod , my partner's project).
