NOTICE for small businesses facebook Can Delete Your Personal Account If You Do Any Business On It PLEASE SHARE Facebook has been deleting a lot of personal accounts as they have been using them to promote there business please see below you may find it useful its quite long winded but it tells you how to back up your account so you dont lose everything this is not due to people reporting you its due to facebook new rules from networking on sites this seems to be happening a lot its a long process but really easy to follow hope it helps 😊😁 Although we know that its only advisable to use your business/public page to promote your work, many people also use personal pages to share some of their work, make contacts, network, and do business. After all, we can stay in touch with colleagues and clients by adding them as friends (if you so choose to). A personal page also allows us to message them directly, where a business page does not allow this option unless they reply to us directly. So in a way, a personal page is as important as a business/public page in maintaining relationships, finding new clients, getting your work out there, and keeping in touch. This is also why many colleagues in the industry still use personal pages when doing business in some way or another. Some prefer keeping them separate, and theres nothing wrong with that either. If youre someone who keeps business off of Facebook, then this obviously is nothing you should be concerned about. If youre in the same boat, be prepared to have Facebook delete your account. Im not saying that this will happen, but it is a possibility you have to be ready for. This is what happened with Catherine. Without warning, she lost her Facebook page along with her messages and all her media on the account. Most importantly, she lost her past messages and contacts. They converted her old personal page into a public page. So technically it wasnt deleted, just converted. I use the word deleted because she cannot get back all of her messages and contacts. With public pages, as mentioned, you cannot reach out to people and message them directly or communicate with them in the same way that a personal page allows you to do so. So what should you do to prepare yourself? You can download a history of your Facebook activity and archive it somewhere, just in case. It will also allow you to keep a history of your messages, which I believe may be the most important element. You can do so with the following directions, from Facebooks info page: 1) Click at the top right of any Facebook page and select Account Settings 2) Click General in the left-hand column 3) Click on Download a copy of your Facebook data 4) Click Start My Archive This article does not apply to everyone, but for those of you who do any business using your personal page, consider this a warning. At least you can be prepared in case it does happen.
