Comments on: Should You Separate Your Blog And Personal Social Media Accounts? /should-you-separate-your-blog-and-personal-social-media-accounts/ Life & Blogging Wed, 13 Jan 2016 20:22:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.4.1 By: Kev Shepard /should-you-separate-your-blog-and-personal-social-media-accounts/#comment-3850 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 08:52:00 +0000 /?p=1394#comment-3850 I’m pretty sure Pinterest is the only medium to keep personal and business together, every one else is to be separated. E.g. when it comes to Instagram, even those not owning any business tend to have 2 accounts: public and private. It’s easier with facebook, you can create a business page using your regular one, and you are meant to do so and not to sing up anew. But to have a twitter for both work and personal life – unimaginable for me.

I am a Marketing and Social Media Manager by trade and although I am used to managing multiple accounts and campaigns, now that I am launching my own personal lifestyle blog, I find myself in a pickle about this exact thing. My husband suggested that I think far into the future and decide if I would be comfortable with my personal life overlapping with personal blog posts and personal social media accounts forever. After pondering that, I decided that I definitely needed a Facebook fan page that had nothing to do with my personal account. My personal Pinterest is pretty built up so I felt that I could use that to my advantage and they made those updates very easy. I actually still haven’t decided about Instagram and Twitter, but I feel confident in the decisions that I have made thus far! Haha. I have you ladies to thank for that :) I can’t wait to get this blog up and running and connect with you gals. Thanks for the help!

It took me a while, but I made the decision to make a separate Instagram account, but keep my same Twitter. I’ve done alright building up the Instagram, so I’m happy with that (especially because I don’t think my college friends and family would care about it much). I worried about building the Twitter from scratch, though, which I think is the main reason I kept it as one account. I had to make a Twitter for a project this past year, and it was so difficult starting from scratch! Great post! I really think this is a common struggle, especially for new bloggers.

It is so hard to build a following on there with all the spam accounts but I love having a feed full of all my favourite bloggers photos. I definitely agree with how annoying it is flipping between the two accounts and I have recently found (a kind of) solution… I log into my personal account on my computer and my blog on my phone.

Thankyou for the post very helpful since I am new to blogging.

I’ll have to look into that and add it to this post after playing around, thanks for the tip!!

Sometimes I feel like I’m holding myself back with just one account, so having two lets me be full-on blogger on those accounts!

Thankfully Twitter made that pretty easy, but Instagram is still making you do that. And I never thought about how that would affect your Google rankings, thanks for the tip!

Twitter is definitely best to have separate accounts. And a Facebook page never hurt anyone.

One I’m conflicted on is LinkedIn. I do consider my blog a business, and a lot of my contacts and relationships get built there. However, some of my friends don’t care about my blog (sad for them). What do you think about LinkedIn?
