1. Want to know how much Facebook knows about you?

Go to Account Settings in the Home menu and click “Download a copy of your Facebook data.”

2. You may not want to share your updates and other personal information with the whole world.

But Facebook has kept the default setting as Public. It’s better for us if you share more, and we’re assuming that most of you aren’t going to bother changing your privacy settings.

3. You may not see every post from your friends, and only a fraction of your friends may see all your updates.

Facebook wants users to see posts that will keep them on the site the longest, so it moves up the posts that are the most liked, shared, and commented on.

4. If you are signed in to Facebook, we track you while you surf the Internet.

Anytime you visit a page that has a Facebook Like or Share button, we log that information.

5. If your posts are set to be Public, burglars can see your status updates and figure out when you’re not in town.

Insurance companies may also use posted information to raise a premium or deny a claim.

6. Posting big news like your engagement, the birth of a baby, or your acceptance to grad school?

Facebook will know. We target those types of announcements by using something called natural language processing, and then we make sure they stick around in your friends’ news feeds until the next time they log on.

7. It may work to your benefit for us to know a lot about you.

For instance, if you Like the Gap Facebook page because you love to shop there, you’ll appreciate it when a coupon pops up.

8. Not seeing enough posts from friends you care about—and too many from those you don’t?

Set your news feed to sort by Most Recent, rather than Top News. Then add your favorite people to your Close Friends list and unsubscribe from any friends whose updates you’re not interesting in receiving.

9. We make money by selling ad space to companies that want to reach you.

They give us demographics—the desired location, career, education level—and we put their ads on the pages of those who meet the criteria.

10. Do you really want to make sure your friends see your important news (you’re having a garage sale, for example)?

You can pay a fee, around $7 to $10 a post, to move your update to the top of their news feeds.

11. Lots of users hate Timeline, but it’s not going away anytime soon.

It’s a more effective way for people to share, it’s visually appealing, and brands love it because it gives them a better platform to market their business and show people who they are.

12. You can limit your posts to Facebook friends who live in your city, those who went to your college, or those you work with.

You can even choose to allow everyone to view a post except your boss. Click the arrow in the lower right-hand corner of the status update box, and you’ll see all the options.

13. Never leave your computer while you’re logged on to Facebook, especially if your coworkers have a sense of humor.

For a while, whenever someone at our headquarters did that, we’d write something like “I love Justin Bieber” as his or her status update. When that happened to me, I’d get e-mails asking, “Are you OK?”

14. Be selective in choosing friends and Liking pages.

If you say yes to everyone, you’re going to see lots of things in your news feed you don’t care about, and you’ll have to take the extra time to filter them out.

15. Hide from all your friends on Facebook Chat by going to the chat box and clicking Go Offline.

If it’s just one particularly annoying friend that you want to avoid, click on his name in the chat window, hit the cog icon that’s in the top right, and choose Go Offline to [Name].

16. Some information can’t be made private on Facebook.

Your name, profile picture, cover picture, network, gender, and username are always publicly available.

17. Noticed fewer fans on your favorite Facebook pages?

That’s probably because the company has recently been cracking down on phony profiles created en masse by shady companies to boost a page’s Facebook popularity. In a recent filing, Facebook estimated that as many as 83 million of its profiles are fake, though some are duplicate pages set up by real people.

18. Here’s how to get the site to work faster and more efficiently:

Connect to a Wi-Fi network before using your phone to log on to Facebook.

19. Watch when you Like a company, or post about a product.

Your interaction might be shown to your friends as an ad for that company.

Why use Remote Administration?

This is a question we hear every time we face prospective clients. And it’s a good one!

Every business needs some form of office administration to keep things running smoothly. More than likely your business is NOT running a business. You may be a real estate agent, a contractor, a doctor. YOU know what makes you a success. And usually it’s not the day to day administrative tasks that keep you away from creating revenue.

That’s where partnering with BRAVO Services can give you back your most valuable asset. YOU!  You and your time. Time that is better spent doing what you do best. BRAVO Services has the experience, resources, and personnel to compliment you and your business. And you incur no additional employee costs in the process. No work space allocations. No computer or workstation costs. No employee related taxes or benefits. Remote Administration is just that. We perform the work at our offices with our associates, meeting with you when you need us to. BRAVO Services also has the latest tools to perform your office duties. And WE upgrade our software and hardware packages so that you don’t have to. No lost productivity time moving to a new software or hardware platform.

Severe weather problems? Not with BRAVO Services. Because we use remote associates as well, we are able to serve your needs from multiple locations and your clients will be impressed that you are up and running servicing their needs.

Need special presentations?  BRAVO Services offers a wide array of presentation services. From PowerPoint to Webinars, we’ll create a portfolio to dazzle your customers and coworkers.

Isn’t it amazing as entrepreneurs and small business owners how many hats we must wear to run our business?  We become the manager, marketer, creative director and financial wizard and then suddenly, another hat makes its way into the mix.  At some point, we need to refocus our energy back to what it is that we do best in our business venture.  After all, this is why and how we are in business, whether it’s for personal enjoyment or monetary gain.

To refocus, you can ask yourself which of the hats you could hire an employee for or better yet, to outsource.  As an entrepreneur or small business, it is difficult to create new space for an employee, give up control over every detail, build trust with someone new, set aside time to train, tackle government regulations for payroll and HR, and incur new costs for equipment, software and furniture.  There just comes a time when you’ll need to take the leap to delegate some of your work flow to another source.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could find someone who understands the fears, time constraints and costs of hiring an employee?  At BRAVO Services, we do just that.  Because we are a “remote” business support service we already use and own the latest technology and software tools at our location.  This means greater mobility and less cost for you.  We understand that it takes time to build trust and develop a long-term relationship, so we make sure that each and every time we do business, we exceed your expectations.

Selecting the right remote workforce is crucial to building the trust you want and establishing a long-term relationship with someone who can learn your business inside out.  To do this, it is wise to seek a remote business partner who is locally or nationally based within your work area.  It is also important that they have a competent understanding and pronunciation of your language, grammar, and dialect.  Costs may be lower in overseas operations, but you’ll end up wearing another hat to recover lost time or even worse, lost clients.

It’s time for a new way to conduct your business!  Consider giving up one of those hats and visit us at www.bravoremote.com.
