Chris Wallace from The SuperGroup shows you how its done. For the companion blog post and video presentation, visit: http://www.thesupergroup.com/blog/?p=260

1. FACEBOOK FOR PROFESSIONALS
MAINTAINING PERSONAL PRIVACY WHILE NETWORKING
WITH BOTH FRIENDS AND BUSINESS CONTACTS.

2. WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
Due to privacy concerns, many people use
Facebook to network with their friends, and an
alternative social network for professional
communications (like LinkedIn.)

3. WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
However, FaceBook has a much larger and more
active user base, and is therefor a viable business
networking tool.

4. WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
But how can you confidently keep your personal
and professional lives separated if they share a
single FaceBook profile?
We’ll show you how.

9. CASE STUDY

10. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS PROFILE IS A FAR CRY FROM
“PROFESSIONAL.”

11. WHAT’S WORSE: THERE’S SOME VERY PERSONAL
INFORMATION LISTED.

12. LUCKILY, THERE ARE PRIVACY SETTINGS THAT CAN BE
EDITED.

13. HERE YOU CAN SEE ALL THE AREAS OF YOUR
FACEBOOK ACCOUNT WITH PRIVACY CONTROLS.

14. IN THIS DEMONSTRATION, WE’LL EDIT THE PROFILE
INFORMATION.

15. IN EACH MENU, YOU’LL SEE THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS.
NOTICE THE LACK OF GRANULAR CONTROL...

16. TO TRULY MANAGE PRIVACY EFFECTIVELY, WE MUST
FIRST CREATE CUSTOM LISTS.

17. CREATING LISTS

18. LISTS ARE CREATED BY CLICKING THE “FRIENDS”
MENU FROM THE HEADER BAR.

19. NOW CLICK THE “FRIENDS” OPTION UNDER “LISTS.”
YOU’LL SEE A LIST OF ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

20. CLICK “CREATE NEW LIST.” LISTS ALLOW YOU TO
CREATE GRANULAR CATEGORIES OF FRIENDS.

21. NAME YOUR LIST “PROFESSIONAL.” IT SHOULD NOW BE
DISPLAYED ON THE MENU TO THE LEFT.

22. NOW CLICK THE “ADD TO LIST” BUTTON AND SELECT
“PROFESSIONAL.”

23. CHRIS WALLACE IS NOW A PART OF MY
“PROFESSIONAL” CONTACTS LIST!

24. NOW LET’S CREATE A LIST NAMED “PERSONAL” IN THE
SAME WAY WE CREATED “PROFESSIONAL.”

25. SINCE I HAVEN’T ADDED ANYONE TO THE PERSONAL
LIST, NO FRIENDS ARE DISPLAYED THERE.

26. MANAGING PERSONAL INFO

27. NOW HEAD BACK TO PRIVACY SETTINGS: PROFILE
INFORMATION, AND SELECT “CUSTOMIZE.”

28. YOU’LL SEE THIS POPUP WINDOW APPEAR...

29. FROM THE DROP DOWN, SELECT “SPECIFIC PEOPLE.”

30. NOW YOU SHOULD SEE A TEXT BOX APPEAR BELOW
THE DROP DOWN.

31. SINCE I ONLY WANT MY “PERSONAL” CONTACTS TO
SEE THIS INFORMATION, TYPE “PERSONAL.”

32. NOW ONLY PEOPLE IN MY “PERSONAL” LIST WILL SEE
THIS INFORMATION.

33. YOU CAN USE WHATEVER LISTS YOU LIKE FOR EACH
OF THE CATEGORIES.

34. NOW CLICK “PREVIEW MY PROFILE” TO MAKE SURE
YOUR PROFILE IS DISPLAYING HOW YOU’D LIKE.

35. HERE WE SEE HOW “MOST PEOPLE” (IE: PEOPLE WHO
AREN’T YOUR FRIENDS) SEE YOUR PROFILE.

36. YOU CAN ALSO SEE HOW A SPECIFIC PERSON SEES
YOUR PROFILE BY TYPING THEIR NAME IN THE BOX.

37. MY PROFILE INFO IS HIDDEN, BUT THAT PROFILE
PHOTO REALLY ISN’T APPROPRIATE...

38. MANAGING PHOTOS

39. CLICK “PROFILE” AND THEN THE “PHOTOS” LINK. YOU
SHOULD SEE A LIST OF ALBUMS.

40. PHOTOS IN THE “PROFILE PICTURES” ALBUM ARE
ALWAYS PUBLIC! DON’T FORGET!

41. CLICK “CREATE A PHOTO ALBUM” SO THAT WE HAVE A
PLACE FOR PRIVATE PHOTOS.

42. YOU SHOULD SEE A SCREEN LIKE THIS. REMEMBER TO
CHOOSE “CUSTOMIZE” FROM THE PRIVACY MENU.

43. SELECT “SOME FRIENDS” AND TYPE “PERSONAL” TO
DESIGNATE YOUR PERSONAL FRIEND LIST.

44. NOTICE THAT “PERSONAL” IS LISTED UNDER THE
DROP DOWN MENU. CLICK “CREATE ALBUM.”

45. NEXT YOU’LL SEE AN UPLOAD MENU. SELECT THE
PHOTOS YOU’D LIKE ADDED TO THIS ALBUM.

46. I’VE UPLOADED MY MC SCAT CAT PICTURE, NOW
SAFELY HIDDEN. (WHEW!) CLICK “SAVE CHANGES.”

47. MY PRIVATE PHOTOS ALBUM NOW HAS ONE PHOTO.
NOW LET’S REPLACE THE PROFILE IMAGE.

48. BACK AT THE PHOTO ALBUMS SCREEN, CLICK “PROFILE
PICTURES.”

49. REMEMBER, THIS ALBUM CAN BE SEEN BY ALL YOUR
FRIENDS. CLICK “CHANGE PROFILE PICTURE.”

50. CLICK “CHOOSE FILE” TO SELECT A MORE
UNIVERSALLY APPROPRIATE PROFILE PHOTO.

51. THAT’S MUCH BETTER. NOW CLICK “PROFILE PICTURE
ALBUM.”

52. WE’VE STILL GOT TO DELETE THAT OLD PROFILE
PHOTO. CLICK “EDIT PHOTOS.”

53. CHECK “DELETE THIS PHOTO” AND CLICK “SAVE
CHANGES.”

54. TA-DA! NO MORE EMBARRASSING PROFILE IMAGE.

55. NOW MY PROFILE LOOKS LIKE THIS. BUT THAT STATUS
UPDATE ISN’T SOMETHING I WANT EVERYONE TO SEE.

56. MANAGING STATUS UPDATES

57. STATUS UPDATES’ PRIVACY CAN’T BE EDITED AFTER
THEY’VE BEEN PUBLISHED, SO WE MUST DELETE.

58. MOVING YOUR MOUSE OVER AN EXISTING STATUS
UPDATE SHOULD DISPLAY THE “REMOVE” BUTTON.

59. YES, I’M VERY SURE.

60. NOW THAT ITS GONE, LET’S RE-ADD IT WITH THE
APPROPRIATE PRIVACY SETTINGS.

61. SINCE ONLY FRIENDS WILL SEE THAT, LETS ADD A
SECOND STATUS UPDATE FOR “EVERYONE” TO SEE.

62. HERE’S THE PREVIEW OF MY PROFILE FOR
PROFESSIONAL CONTACTS. MUCH BETTER!
