[…] Maybe you are already on Facebook and could teach me a thing or two…I’m all ears! Maybe you don’t need or want to be a part this whole deal…that’s cool too. I kind of like it, but I really like CashArtBlog, so I put most of my extra time into it. By the way, here’s a good article to help you with Facebook […]

i have a note to add regarding the top row of photos on your web site. you can plan which photos you have here by paying attention to what you upload and “crossing off” the photos you don’t want to display there by clicking the x as alyson described.
if you want the photos to display properly, size your photos to 97 x 68 pixels. this will avoid the strange cropping that can be problematic. i load specifically sized photos to their own album on my fb business page and only let those teeny images display up top.
you may see this in action at my business page – /danarogersphotography
hope this is helpful. cheers, dana

I have a profile and a business page, though I really only want FB for my art business. (I’d rather connect with friends and family via email or face to face.) I use a personal profile because my business page can’t follow individuals, and I prefer my business page because it’s easy for people to “like” it without feeling they have to become friends. Though I haven’t posted much on my personal profile yet I’m going to start using it to show people the person behind the brand ie it will be more personal than my business page but whatever I post there will reflect my brand image and values. That way I hope both profile and page will complement each other without duplicating information.

In reply to Sandra Pineault.

Sandra,
I would suggest you get you business page up as soon as possible. Since facebook is on a watch for personal profiles used for business and they cancel such profiles.
Also, when you create a page add someone you trust as Admin (apart from you) so even if for some reason your profile gets cancelled you will still have the business page with the other person as Admin.

LOVE the tip about removing images from the image stream – I had no idea you could do this! (off to share your post on my page! http://www.Facebook.com/ConcertinaPress

The copy and paste method in the article had more success than trying to type in the name.

In reply to Laura.

Hi Laura,
I already post regularly on my business page and since facebook for me is a business tool that is where I would want people to go to see my work. I think Alyson had a blog post not too long ago about not posting on both if you are trying to drive traffic to your business page. Though I do understand there are people that want more friends and just aren’t interested in liking a business page. Lisa Call’s reply mentioned that. Thanks for your feedback, I’m looking at all the pros and cons.

Casey,
I’m wondering why wouldn’t you post anything on your personal profile?
