If an employee leaves the company while they still have access to your social media accounts, it could spell disaster — or at least embarrassment — for your social media presence.
And yet, it's a pretty common scenario at small businesses that don't have strong social media policies or exit procedures.
This post will show you how to revoke access to various social media accounts and provide tips on strengthening your social media policy.
Charitable organizations and non-profits can now use Facebook to raise funds.
