Separating Your Personal Social Media and Your Business Social Media: Why It Matters



Social media can be a great way to connect with your audience and promote your business. But it can also be a time-sink with little to no return on investment.


This section will explore the importance of separating your personal social media from your business social media. It will discuss the benefits of having separate accounts for each and the potential pitfalls that can come with not doing so.


In order to maintain a clear distinction between your personal and professional life, it is important to have two different accounts on social media sites like Facebook or Instagram. This is because many people use these sites for both personal and professional purposes; this means that you could run into some complications if you don't have separate accounts. For example, if someone were searching for you on Facebook, they would only see your personal information instead of any work-related posts or other pertinent information about you as an employer or entrepreneur.


Introduction: Does It Really Matter Which Social Media Accounts I Use?


Social media can be a powerful tool for personal branding, but it can also be a challenge. It is hard to keep on top of all the different platforms, and it is even harder to know which ones are best for your business.


In this article, we will discuss how you can use social media separation to make your life easier. We will look at the benefits of separating personal and business accounts, as well as the different types of accounts you might want. Finally, we will explore some tips for managing your social media presence in an efficient way.


How to Separate Personal & Business Facebook Accounts


Facebook has been a popular social media platform for years. However, many people want to separate their personal and business Facebook accounts.


This is a guide on how to separate your business and personal Facebook accounts.


If you have a personal account, you can follow these steps:


  1. Log into your personal account

  2. Click on the "Account" tab at the top of the page

  3. Click on "Edit Account Settings" on the left-hand side menu

  4. Scroll down until you find "Apps and Websites"

  5. Click on "Log out of all other sessions." This will log out of any other sessions that are logged in through Facebook such as Messenger or Instagram


How to Separate Personal & Business Instagram Account


People usually have two types of social media accounts. One is for personal use and the other is for business. But there are times when people don't know how to separate their personal and business accounts.


You can create a new account for your business which you can use for promotion or marketing purposes, or use your current account as a business one by following these steps:


  1. Create a new username that includes the word "business" in it

  2. Make sure to follow all the necessary steps to make it official as a company profile (i.e., fill out all the fields in Settings). You also need to upload an avatar that represents your company or product.

  3. After you’ve created this profile, change the username of your old personal profile into something like " Dude" or "Married guy". This is a good way to identify your profile as the account you want to change later.

  4. Now, change the password of this new account to something that is easy for you to remember, but hard for anyone else. Making it a mix of letters and numbers will also be easier to remember and harder for others to guess.

  5. Once you’ve changed the password, go to your old account and delete it.

  6. Going forward, make sure you use your “Business account” account for work purposes.


How to Separate Personal & Business LinkedIn Account


When it comes to the personal and professional life of a person, it is crucial to keep them separate. One of the most popular social media platforms for professionals is LinkedIn. However, many people have a problem with mixing their personal and professional lives on this site.


  1. In order to separate your personal and business LinkedIn account, you should first login to your account on LinkedIn. Then click on the “Settings” button at the top right corner of the screen.

  2. From there, you will see a list of options that are available for you to select from. Scroll down until you find “Linked Accounts” and click on it. This will take you to another page where you can either create a new LinkedIn account or link an existing one with your current one.

  3. If this is not what you want, then scroll down until you find “Account Settings” and follow instructions from there in order to separate your accounts without creating another one.


Conclusion: Closing Thoughts on Separating Your Personal & Business Social Media Accounts


It is a good idea to separate your personal and business social media accounts. This way, you can keep your personal life private and work-related matters professional.
