Ok, so there are lots of tips for this, but one of the most overlooked and, imo, important, is a “we will get back to you after the weekend” notice. This is especially important if you have a very active page, but don’t have the resources or staff to support your page over the weekend.

A simple message like, “We will get back to you in 24-48 hours if you post over the weekend” will go a long way towards setting expectations for visitors and page fans.

While this should be common sense, I cannot count the number of times I have been tagged (or seen others tagged) in embarrassing photos: friends, potential co-workers, family…the list goes on.

Here are 5 reasons you shouldn’t tag the people you know on Facebook without their knowledge:

1) In general, people don’t understand how to set their privacy controls on Facebook, and thus never get around to limiting the people who can tag them in posts. Thus, photos they are tagged in may be visible to the world, or at least friends of friends, co-workers, bosses, etc.

2) People’s livelihoods could be seriously compromised. Remember the teacher who got fired after a friend tagged her in a drunken post on Facebook? It can happen to anyone.

3) You could destroy friendships and become “that” person: the one no one wants to hang out with, because they know anything they do with you will become public knowledge. All it takes is one seriously compromising tag to make people wary.

Be smart. Even if you want to tag someone in a photo you think is harmless, just take a moment to think about who will see it. It takes no time at all to shoot someone a message with “hey I have this great photo I’d like to tag you in; is that ok?” Granted, there are people who are cool with being tagged, and you will probably know who they are. But don’t assume. There’s a good chance they WON’T be happy being tagged in that photo of them dancing on the bar with their shirt half off.

Making a Facebook Fan Page is one of the best ways for businesses of all sizes to use Facebook. Its an integral part of any Facebook account you set up and will help you promote whatever idea you want, from a charity to real estate and beyond.

Facebook pages are valuable in that they offer away to highlight what you know best or what you want to highlight. However, you can’t just create a page and not use it, otherwise there’s no point. You need to have a long term goal – identify why you’re going to set the page up, how you’re going to use it (e.g. your strategies) and what the ultimate goal is for your Facebook page.

Through your fan page you will connect with clients and visitors on a more personal level. You can do many things with your FB fan page, from adding applications and videos to p0lls and much more.  You can even send updates to your fans (people who join your page) via bulk emails.

People who become your fans can leave comments on your wall, upload photos and videos, join and create discussion groups and topics, ask questions and beyond.

Ultimately, setting up a Facebook Fan Page is something every business needs to look into.
