The Art of Facebook Lists: Your Solution for Strange Facebook Friend Requests

The Art of Facebook Lists: Your Solution for Strange Facebook Friend Requests

Are you an entrepreneur that loves hanging out in Facebook Groups but feel uneasy when someone from that group friend requests you?

You’re 100% A-OK chatting with that person in the group but giving her access to see your personal profile…

Hmm, that’s a whole different story.

Deep down, you want the connection because you never know if it might lead to a new business opportunity but you also want to avoid potential stalkers.

So what can you do?

Option 1: Decline the request. Who needs new friends anyway?

Option 2: You can bite your lip, accept the request and cross your fingers that your new friend isn’t a total creeper. You know, like going through all your Facebook photos and commenting on every. single. post.

Or…

Option 3: You can be smarter entrepreneur and take advantage of a Facebook feature called Lists: https://www.facebook.com/help/135312293276793/

That’s where you accept the friend request but organize that person into a special list that has limited access to your profile.

Watch the video below as I walk you step-by-step on how to use Facebook Lists.

    THIS IS MONEY! I hear from my clients (especially the more gentle souls who are a little more private) all the time that they don’t feel comfortable letting “strangers” into all the private details of their life. I’ll be sharing for sure. Thanks for the high-value tip to help balance work and personal life.
