Can someone tell me why my fan page use to allow my clients to view it without being logged into facebook and now they cannot. Some of my clients don’t have fb accounts and don’t want one, so it was nice when they could see our page without logging in.. Uggg

I agree with you David;

The concept of keeping family private and business, business, is a great idea and more times than not, should not be mixed for obvious reasons.

I have both a private profile and fan page. I will have to continue to following this to see how it is going.

So being relatively new to the fan page, how do I make sure people see what I have posted on my fan page? When I write on my personal wall, my friends see my post, but when I post something on my fan page, no one sees it. Do they have to go to my page to see what I posted or is there a way for me to let all the people that “like” me see what I have posted?

I just did this and I just told all my “friends” what was going on and gave them about a week to make the switch. You'll have people who just move over without a word, people who ask you where they stand, and people who complain the whole time. Just gotta move through it… and, when it's all said and done… it's WAY better to have them separated. And, better tools for marketing with a fan page, too!

Funny I actually just made the move of my blogging & personal development stuff to my Fan Page. I told everyone else who wants to stick around on my personal page they can but that my updates from now on are going to the Fan Page.

I have around 1200 friends on my personal profile and already nearing 80 on my Fan Page. (I've only made 1 announcement that I'm making the move.

I think the Fan Page is going to suit my needs as well although I'm pretty much blurring the line of what's personal and what's my business. (I"m single right now so no biggie I suppose?)

I have two separate Facebook accounts. One for personal which only my family and real life friends are invited to and is kept completely separate from Freeman Legacy which is where I relate with my blog world friends and associates, never shall the two mingle.

I've been having this conversation with a client this week and we agreed to go with fanpage for fans and keep personal profile for friends and family.

I'm like you David, I love to connect with my friends and family but like you say, do my business buddies have to be exposed to all the bantering. And, my parents are from Jamaica … occasionally my family and I go into the lingo – know what I mean … and I think few of my business associates would understand what we're talking about.

I personally enjoy facebook more when I'm connecting with people who want to be connected with me, not just those who want to boast about how many friends they have! I'm definately going the fanpage route.

David, YOu made me feel like a genius because I wanted to ask you that and tell you my thoughts about it and its like you picked my brain and wrote what i had been thinking all along.

And I do agree. You have your long time friends and family that you want to keep in your inner circle, no not the one on your blog ( - ; but i mean in your real inner circle and then you want people that you just meet and that are begginners in a way and you want to put those on a trial sort of way basis and see how the relationship goes from there.

BEcause the fact is that not "all" friends and new people we meet will all become close relationships. I mean i like to consider you and me friends but i mean seriously dude, when was the last time you called me or the last time i sent a birthday gift to one of your kids.

So it makes sense to do it this way.
