Facebook lists are a great way to connect with your contacts on a more personal level. The way I see it your Facebook business page is a great way of sharing useful content and updates on your business and then you have your personal Facebook page.
By posting informative useful content regularly to your account your connections are regularly thinking about you.
Your Business Facebook page is a great way to highlight your business news, sharing useful content like blogs and handy tips and tricks. It’s also a fantastic way to add a bit of personality and show your followers what you’re about. This could be in the form of motivational quotes, funny memes, videos and the list goes on.
For those that want to build and strengthen their relationships with acquaintances whether they have met the person at a networking event or they are a client. Another way to do this is by adding them as friends on your personal Facebook page. You’re probably thinking I don’t want them to see all my family and baby photo’s, well there’s a way around that.
Here’s how
- Find the person you want to add and send a friend request
- Once that request is sent and accepted go to your personal page and find that contact in your friends list.
- Once you’ve found them then hover over the grey box that says ‘friends’ beside their profile picture.
- A dropdown list will appear where you can choose a list to add them to.
Tip: have a list named acquaintances & restricted
Acquaintance List – People who you might want to share less with
Restricted List – Friends who can only see posts and profile info you make public
This way when you want to post using your personal profile page you can choose who to share with whether it’s just your acquaintances, your friends or to the public.
When you want to view the news feed for your acquaintances or any other list then you can do this by going to your main timeline page where you can see your news feed.
Go to ‘Explore’ on the left hand side and then click on ‘Friends List’, this will display all your lists and from here you can click on the list to view that particular news feed.
I hope this has given you a few tips and an a better way to manage your contacts/friends on Facebook.
