Fan Page vs Personal Profile on Facebook

Here's a new video from social-media-for-artists expert Ariel Hyatt.

Simple stuff looking at why you need both a personal profile and a Fan Page, but worth watching for her view on having 2 personal profiles.

What she doesn't talk about is those people who advocate using your personal profile for music promotion since you can get your messages in to people's mail inboxes - Facebook notifications which you do from a Fan Page are universally ignored!

Obviously Facebook are not happy to see individuals using a personal profile to promote anything (music or some other business) but it is done by many solo artists and some frontmen - the limit of 5000 friends comes in to play but it can work for some people.

Check the video on her site here or below.

 

I've also just been reading their book on Twitter and Facebook - and it's great. Thoroughly recommended.
