Changing Facebook photo privacy settings [video]

Each time you upload new photos to a photo album, it is important that you have the right Facebook photo privacy settings set to help keep unwanted people from viewing your photos.

For most users though, this is a setting we often forget. This is because we assume that everything posted to Facebook is only available to our friends or because we find Facebook privacy settings difficult to find and change.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case. That’s why you need to be sure to set your Facebook photo privacy settings for each photo album.

Why set Facebook photo privacy settings?

When you don’t set the privacy settings on Facebook photo albums, you leave yourself vulnerable. In most cases, your photos are public, meaning anyone who isn’t your friend can view them.

Because of this, I recommend checking your privacy settings for every photo album that you have on your Facebook profile to ensure that you’re not letting unwanted people view your photos.

So how do you set your Facebook photo privacy settings to keep people you don’t know or people you don’t want to view your photos out? We’ve compiled short video tutorial to help you do this.

Managing Facebook Ads for clients (the right way)

Are you managing Facebook Ads for clients?

As you probably know, it can be frustrating to manage Facebook Ads from your own account because in addition to creating Facebook Ads, you also have to handle the billing.

Fortunately, there’s an easy way to fix this problem and that is to learn how to manage Facebook Ads the right way.

The wrong way to managing Facebook Ads for clients

Most of you manage Facebook Ads like this:

Client makes you an Admin on their Facebook Page
You create Facebook Ads within your own Facebook Profile
At the end of a Facebook Ads campaign, you invoice your clients

Not only does this not let you keep billing for client Facebook Ads separate from your own, but it is also a big waste of time because you have to deal with getting reimbursed for Facebook Ads you have created for them at the end of the month.

So what is the right way for managing Facebook Ads for clients?

Photo Privacy Settings & Facebook Groups [video]

Lately, I’ve received a lot of questions about Facebook Groups. Most of the questions have centered around photo privacy settings.

For anyone who has a group, you know how difficult it can be to change the privacy settings on your Facebook Group. Now add in photos and Facebook Groups are a mess.

What’s wrong with photo privacy settings for Facebook Groups?

One of the biggest complaints about using Facebook Groups is that it’s difficult to change anything. It’s either on or off, there really is no in-between.

Changing the privacy settings on Facebook Groups should be pretty easy. Unfortunately, because of the disjointed settings menu, it’s not so easy (that’s presumably why you’re here).

For Facebook Groups, that’s an unfortunate thing because while groups are about collaboration, sometimes a group admin needs to be able to control the privacy settings.

For example, how would like it if you spent time creating a great cover photo for your Facebook Group, only to have another member come along and upload a photo that’s offensive or of poor quality?

If it were my Facebook Group, this could get frustrating after a while.

In addition to being difficult to navigate, the instructions to make any changes aren’t clear. Here’s a screenshot of the current privacy settings – no, those don’t control your photo privacy settings in Facebook Groups.
