Facebook T&Cs (5 posts)

  • I thought I was pretty good at searching for stuff on the internet but I have come up short this time.

    I’m looking for the T&Cs that says it is no allow to use a personal profile for business.

    In addition, I am looking for a FB help page that says that all friends will become Fans when you transition your personal profile to a Facebook Page.

    Do let me know if you happen to have it readily available.

  • Hi @jorgenpoulsen It’s on these terms – #4 point 4 below: http://www.facebook.com/legal/terms You will not use your personal profile for your own commercial gain (such as selling your status update to an advertiser).
    I think there are some gray areas in here.  Can you tell people about your business?  I think so.  What does this really mean?  What are other’s opinions?

  • @andrea You rock.

    Now I just need to find where Facebook says that friends will not be lost by transitioning to a Facebook Page.

    I have mentioned this before. This is an extremely easy way to get clients. Since they use a personal page one can message them. A nice non-selling message making them aware of the breach, that they will not lose their friends and that FB in some cases have closed personal profiles used for business normally gets a reaction like ‘how do I do it? That’s a good way to start interacting with the company and in most cases they don’t want to deal with it so they ask you to do it.

    Of course you also make them aware of all those fantastic free apps, landing pages, gateway etc. etc. and soon they ask you to handle that too.

    I can easily find at least a couple of hundred in my city – all withing walking distance.
