Profiles vs. Groups vs. Pages

But why? I thought this was “for business”

• The ultimate connector, a personal side of networking

• Reserve connections for people you know fairly well, not your

entire Rolodex

• This will help you understand the basics prior to managing a

brand page

• Depending on your role, this might be better than a brand

“Page.” i.e. Customer service, sales

Your Personal Profile

When you log-in

Privacy Settings

Adding Applications

Rules of using a “Profile” for business

• Connect, Connect, Connect!

• Create lists and utilize privacy settings to help separate

personal vs. professional

• Use applications to display your blog, LinkedIn Profile, Twitter

updates, etc.

• Find your balance of Personal & Professional. Treat this like

you would your desk at work

• Be interesting through status updates. Remember, this is not a

sales space!

• Secure a vanity URL at facebook.com/username
