This might seem like an obvious question, but can just anyone see and comment on my Facebook status updates if they are set to public? I'm concerned over privacy issues.
You won't want to use the public setting as it might expose you or your family to risk, especially if you are publishing personally identifiable information such as home town/family photos with identifying landmarks etc.
If you are using your own personal FB, and you would rather not have strangers looking at your personal information, you can set your personal settings for only friends to see your stuff.
You could create a separate FB account for your Freelance work. By doing this, you can keep everything public to attract future followers and clients. You can invite your friends and family to your new account, but have your personal information more geared toward your Freelance work, rather then your personal life.
If you're still worried about it coming up in the "People You May Know", you can hire someone to create your new FB account from another location, to avoid having your IP address picked up from FB.
