Should You Draw a Line Between Personal and Business on Social Media?

I'm in the middle of Course 4 all about social media. I'm doing a little skipping around because I am already set up on most of the social networks. However I have reached a sticking point and a familiar question has popped up.
Should you draw a line between personal and business on social media? I'm actually asking. I don't know the answer.
In the training, Kyle is suggesting we post each and every blog post from our new sites on all of our social media platforms. I noticed that the twitter and other social media accounts he's using are all accounts created with Wealthy Affiliate in the name. They are not his personal account, of course. However, many of you, I assume, are like me. You already have a Twitter account under your own name, or at least something personal, meaning not related to your current website topic. You also have your personal Facebook network and maybe Instagram too. Are you putting all of your website content onto your personal networks or creating new ones?
Who else is hesitant to share such new material with everyone in their personal social media circles?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is going through the training while taking on a new topic for the website we are learning with. Although I feel 100% committed to this business model and success with affiliate marketing, I do not know how long I will be in the same niche I'm in now.
How do you all deal with this when using social media?
Do you create multiple handles for each site? Personal and website-related?
How do you avoid feeling like you're spamming all your friends and contacts?
Any and all tips, workarounds and suggestions are welcome!
I'd love to hear how you are handling this.
Thank you!
