1. How to Protect Your Privacy and Still Use Facebook

When people have valuables to protect in their homes and business, they take precautions.  They lock windows and doors and often install security systems.   But many people never turn on the alarm and keep all the doors and windows unlocked. When burglarized, they blame the thieves - not themselves.

Similarly, opening an account in Facebook but not setting your privacy and account settings is an open invitation for people to follow your every move and potentially steal information or your identity. The privacy and hacking complaints often leveled against Facebook are most often the result of lackadaisical personal management, not the system itself.  In fact, Facebook has one of the most comprehensive and granular systems to ensure that personal information is protected. For those who wish to restrict access of uninvited friends to their information, the protection is available for no charge.  All it takes is a few minutes to set it up and to say no to people you don't want to connect with.

I've just published a new e-book titled 10 Steps to Setting Your Privacy Settings Correctly describing the 10 steps to follow (including screenshots) to correctly set up your privacy settings on Facebook. The e-book is a must for every employee, manager, and parent.

The introductory price is only $4.99 (Retail price is $9.99).

Quotes from Hire Authorities

"Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society."
