10 Ways to use Facebook Professionally

10 Ways to Use Facebook Professionally

  1. Your profile is like your desktop at work. Only put on it what you would want your co-workers to see.

  2. Socialize with a purpose. Re-establish connections with former co-workers, classmates, but add friends selectively.

  3. Edit your news feed preferences so that you are only alerted when it matters. Do you really care if a friend adds a new picture? More important is when they add a new contact.

  4. Edit your profile and security settings. Be selective showing what to whom. The default settings probably show more information than you would like.

  5. Create interest by incorporating a feed from your blog.

  6. Join Groups related to your business interests. Ask respected contacts which groups they like.

  7. Stay focused. It's easy to waste time on Facebook so set limits.

  8. Help others when you can so that they'll help you when you need it.

  9. Use the My Questions app. It is a great way to tap into your contacts� collective knowledge.

  10. Look for events. Good online relationships can be made better by face-to-face networking or meetings.


My way?

Only use Facebook for spying or don't use at all.
Why post anything to the public?
