There are numerous Facebook Privacy Settings that you can adjust to customize who you interact with and who sees your profile & wall posts on Facebook. Before jumping to the settings, determine how you want to use Facebook:
- Do you want to use Facebook for business or just for personal use?
- Do you want to have a Fan Page for your business?
- Do you want to connect with people you know if they send you a “friend” invite?
- Do you want to post things on your personal wall & profile?
- Do you want to interact with only family and real-life friends?
How private do you want your Facebook profile and communications to be?:
- Do you want Facebook users to be able to send you a message through Facebook?
- Do you want people to invite you to be a Facebook friend?
- Do you want Facebook friends to post on your wall?
- Do you want clients/prospects to see what your friends post on your wall?
- Do you want clients/prospects to see what YOU post on your personal wall/profile?
- Do you want only certain categories of Facebook friends (college buddies, family, work friends, etc…) to see your wall?
Once you are clear about how you want to use Facebook and how private you want to be, you can adjust your Facebook Privacy Settings so they are inline with your level of comfort. Click on Settings/Privacy Settings in the upper right hand corner of your Facebook screen and you’ll see a screen that looks like this:
Facebook Privacy Settings
Take time to look at each setting and determine what you want to adjust. You can always go back and tweak a setting if you change your mind.
