Why are you SO concerned about Facebook’s rules?

November 30, 2014 by Trina Lo

Have you been panicking about what the new Facebook rules for 2015 are?

Well you’re not alone. Most people just don’t understand them, but it’s likely because they aren’t in the right mindset when reading the new rules and are also listening to too much gossip versus just doing the research.

We all need to be cautious with our online presence – well online everything really. But I am always shocked at how much attention Facebook gets over everything else. I believe Facebook privacy gets talked about 10x more than when a major retailer gets hacked and our credit information is exposed. Again, why?

If you are following the basic safety steps for your online presence, you’ll be just fine!

  1. Never post anything that would harm you or others if the public saw it.
    1. Nudity of any kind
    2. Financial information
    3. Personal information like credit card or SIN numbers
    4. Home address
    5. Full birthdate
  2. Avoid touchy topics like sexual orientation of others and religion.
  3. Never post pictures of your children that are available to the public.
  4. Never post when you are angry – your opinion is always valued, but slamming anyone can be bad for business.

DO take the time to read over privacy policy changes, but ask yourself  this when fear rears its ugly head.

  • How secure are my passwords?
  • How often to I change them?
  • How is the security on my website – is it kept up to date?

Most people who fear privacy are also not taking the necessary measures to ensure safety in other places, that’s usually why they are terrified by this ‘online safety stuff’. Educate yourself on proper online safety and take the time to read things thoroughly yourself. Don’t just rely on the opinions of ‘experts’, you’re still the one that makes the final decision!

Marketing Strategy

Only 25% of businesses make it to a mature 15 years or more, according to the Small Business Association. An astounding statistic isn't it? Unfortunately, it's true. Most small businesses launch with desire, heart and passion and to live forever, not to struggle and fizzle out. What they need is a plan. Not just a business plan, but a detailed marketing plan. Other number crunchers might argue, but we feel the marketing plan is the most important piece of any … Read More...

Social Media

So what IS Social Media anyway? Well, that's the first question you need to answer. If you look it up on Wikipedia, it'll confuse you more than anything else! For those of us who are, ahem...over 25 or even 30 in some cases, few of the social networks make any sense. We didn't grow up with them and it's not natural for humans to communicate with our thumbs on a little rectangular box, is it? Our definition of Social Media is simple, web-based applications that allow … Read More...
