Wondering How To Keep Your Business And
Personal Life Separate On Facebook?
• You don’t need to risk bringing down the FB ban hammer by having 2
accounts (that’s against the rules!).
• Here’s a geek tip to ensure that your close friends and family don’t
get annoyed by your business posts…
• And your business contacts don’t see your personal posts (unless you
want them to)
Wondering How To Keep Your Business And
Personal Life Separate On Facebook?
• In this video you will learn:
• How to add your friends to Facebook lists
• How to share posts to a particular section of friends – eg Friends & Family
only or business only
• I’ll show you how to do this from a desktop computer, but the first
part can also be done from a mobile app
Add Business Contacts To “Acquaintances”
• When you accept a new business contact,
hover over the Friends button to the
bottom right of their FB cover
• Up pops a box of lists to choose from
• Tick the “Acquaintances” list
• You probably also want to add them to a
“Business” list
• Click “Add to another list…”
Add To Another List…
• After you click “Add to another
list…”, another box will pop up
• Tick “Business”
• Tick any other relevant lists (as
desired)
Add To Another List…
• After you click “Add to another list…”,
another box will pop up
• Tick “Business”
• Tick any other relevant lists (as desired)
• You can also add a new list here, eg I
create lists for my friends in business-
related Facebook groups, so I have a
record of how I know them
• Click “+ New List” and a text box opens
up for you to name it
Create New List
• You can also create a new list from
the main Facebook sidebar.
• Find the FRIENDS section in the
sidebar on the left of your main
Facebook page.
• You need to be using a desktop
computer for this.
Create New List
• Hover over “FRIENDS”
• Click on “More”, when it
pops up, to bring up the
following page…
Create new list
• Click on the create List button
• A Create New List box pops up
• Name the list
• Add people to it if you wish (this
can also be done later)
• Click create
• And Bob’s your uncle, you have a
new list!
Posting To Your
Chosen Audience
• Once you have added your
business contacts to lists, you are
now in a position to share your
posts with just business or just
friends or both
• Click the “Friends” button to the
right of the “Update Status” box
• A menu pops up where you can
select who to share your post
with…
Posting To Your
Chosen Audience
• Select “Business” to share with
only your business contacts
• Select “Friends except
Acquaintances” to share with
only your close friends & family
