How To Guide - Public VS Private Social Media Accounts
In general, it is good to have a public account if you are running a club. You want to make your information
accessible to everyone and you want to receive the social media site analytics. You can keep your photos
non-personal by not naming riders taking photos without members' faces.
Here is a summary of your social media public and private account options:
Public Account:
Private Accounts
● More privacy
● Check users before letting them enter your profile/page
● This would be for an internal club communications area only
For your organisation your social media accounts need to be public. Your accounts are going to be a place that
your community, members and interested individuals are going to look to when there are upcoming events and
roll-outs of information. It will also help you to gather analytics on how many followers you are getting every
day, or which content had the highest rate of engagement.
