Well, have no fear. I’m going to lay it all out for you and dive into some of the reasons the two sides of your Facebook life should be linked together.
You may also want to review your Facebook privacy settings to help you understand what’s visible on your personal profile.
Here are 9 tips for understanding how your Page and your profile work together.
#1: Understand That Your Page and Your Profile Are Very Separate
Even though you log into your profile to get to your Page and they look like they are linked together, no one else knows which Pages are attached to your profile.

10 Ways to Grow Your Facebook Following
Has your Facebook Page growth stalled?
Now is a good time to examine your Facebook activities, cutting out what isn’t working and expanding what works.
Here are ten tips to help grow your Facebook community.
#1: Connect With Other Page Managers
This is a powerful tactic to a make a live connection with other Page admins who have a similar demographic to yours and cross-promote each other.
So if you are an ice cream store with a Facebook Page, make a live connection with the pizza parlor in your neighborhood that draws the same clientele (you may already know the owner of the pizza parlor). Then talk to him or her about doing a little Facebook cross-promotion and share each others posts with your audiences every once in a while.
Joint ventures also help forge these meaningful connections. Host a webinar with another company that has a similar audience. This can be a great way to become visible to their audience.
When you make a meaningful connection, you can cross-promote to each others' audiences.
5 Ways to Improve Your Facebook News Feed Exposure
Does your business have a Facebook page?
Getting your posts seen by your fans should be a top priority.
But in order for your fans to see what you post on Facebook, they must first interact with your posts if you have any hope of getting a bottom-line return on investment from Facebook.
Why EdgeRank Matters on Facebook
Facebook has a news feed algorithm (often referred to as EdgeRank) that hides a significant portion of your updates from your fans, even when you’re getting good interaction. Most pages aren’t reaching a very high percentage of fans.
PageLever’s seminal research on this topic revealed that the average page only reaches 7% of its fans daily.
When some marketers see this, their knee-jerk reaction is to use ads to acquire more new fans. But if you already have a decent fan base, it makes more sense to first focus on reaching your fans before you shift your focus to growing your audience.
In this article I’m going to share with you the tips learned by examining a recent social media success story.
BrandGlue‘s client Jackson Kayak was only reaching 20.1% of their fans in January 2012, but they were able to increase that to 39.8% within 3 months. They accomplished this by using the same tips shared in this article.
