Last Updated on October 27, 2022 by Wong Ching Ya Show So now, you have associated your Facebook Profile with a Facebook Page, don’t mind using both platforms to boost your business brand and visibility. It seems like Facebook is doing you a huge favor with its revolution, right? But what if we are to separate private network circle from business page? Is that even possible?  Why I Can’t Create a New Facebook Business Manager Account?If you are a brand new Facebook user, it’s likely that you won’t be able to create a new Business Manager account right away. This will work, for most cases, for existing/older Facebook Profiles. If you’re sure that you’re not violating any naming regulations on Facebook and yet still unable to create a Business Manager account, it’s possible that your account is either unverified (via phone number) or just simply too new. Why? Perhaps Facebook would like to make sure you’re a real person before you can create a Business Manager account. You may need to prove that by interacting and securing your account. Yes, I mean sending/receiving friend requests, liking, commenting, uploading pictures etc., and even adding a phone number to it. You’re telling Facebook you’re real, and it’s possible, they may allow you to create an account soon. But I can’t guarantee this will 100% work but one thing for sure, is that if you remain inactive on Facebook, there are features you won’t be able to access, even after a long wait. Workaround: How to Create a Business Manager Account (For New Facebook User)When a Facebook account is too new, it’s possible that one cannot immediately create a business account. This can be a bummer, surely. Even though you can’t create one, doesn’t mean you can’t be invited to one. Here is a solution to this problem: ask your business partner who has already owned an active Facebook account to create a Business Account on behalf of your business, then invite you to it. What I love about this, is that you get to choose what name and which email address you get to use when joining a business account, but not through a Facebook Profile. That way, you can keep your work separated from your personal profile and disclosing as little personal info as possible. Once you’ve accepted the invitation, you will be able to access Facebook Business Suite, showing both ‘Your account’ and ‘Business account’ you joined. (Note: In Business Suite, ‘Your account’ will consist of ALL your Facebook Pages; while ‘Business account’ is for you to handle selected Pages while separating your personal profile from it and limit personal info-sharing with colleagues/business partners.) After that, you can have the opportunity to tour within the Facebook Business Suite and get familiar with this handy tool; at the same time, enjoy the benefits of handling your business matters with partners, colleagues or other agencies without worrying the exposure of your personal life. Part 2:How to Protect Your Facebook Profile from Business Contacts (through Privacy Checkup)Nowadays, Facebook has made it easy for users to go through basic privacy settings to protect their info from been exposed to strangers: go to Settings & Privacy > Privacy Checkup For security, it’s wise to go through all the checkups, including how to keep your account secure, data setting etc. However, since we’re only focusing on keeping your profile from being found easily, therefore I’ll skip the security part for now. But do go back and finish them whenever you can for maximum security. Here we go: 1. How people can find you on Facebook This includes your Profile information, posts and stories. Set the visibility to ‘Only Me’ for all the info you wish to remain private (or for certain people’s eye only, it’s up to you). I will advise to keep your phone number and email address concealed if you don’t want business contacts to reach you easily. For Posts and stories, you can set visibility for Future posts, Stories and even Limit past posts (make it convenient for you to switch all Public posts to ‘Friends’ only). However, people who were tagged in your previous posts, their friends may still see these posts regardless of your settings. Either to remove those tags or keep them, it’s your call. Blocking allows you to prevent someone from seeing your posts, tagging you, inviting you to groups/events and of course, adding you as a friend. You can unblock someone anytime if you changed your mind. 2. How people can find you on Facebook You won’t be able to prevent people from sending you friend requests completely, but you will have the ability to reject or simply block the person instead. It’s advisable to not publicize your work phone number or work email address unless you want to be found by those who’ve already gotten one of your business cards. Search engines are powerful so be sure to turn off the setting if you don’t want Google linking to your profile from its search results. Bear in mind, Facebook search is different from search engines, so this setting won’t stop people from seeing your profile if they look you up via Facebook search. 3. Your ad preferences on Facebook What seems to be a harmless social interaction may lead to people knowing you’ve endorsed a Page, due to Facebook ads. For instance, when a Facebook page you liked is running ads across Facebook, your Facebook friends may know you liked the Page when they see the ad. To prevent that from happening, you can limit the visibility of this information to ‘Only Me’. Precautions can save you from major headaches.
