Steps To A Facebook Adventure destiny-entrepreneur.com /steps-to-a-facebook-adventure/ Once a social platform for college students, the 1.86 billion active membership site Facebook is the latest buzzword in social media marketing. However, most members are extremely online savvy and they smell blatant advertisements from miles away. It is important to know some basics and gain experiences in utilizing the site and interacting with its members before you start planning your Facebook marketing adventure.
1. Create a profile.
The first step is to create a profile. Sign up using your real name and upload some pictures. Always upload a profile picture. If you don’t upload a picture, Facebook places a default question mark icon. It is a good strategy to show your face in Facebook. Don’t use group pictures for your profile because others may have difficulty identifying you in the group pictures. Don’t use logos, your cute cat or dogs’ pictures, or a picture of your expensive car and boat. You don’t have to fill all the profile information. Fill only the information you are comfortable sharing with others. If you want to find dates using Facebook, fill up the relationship status feature of your profile accordingly. Don’t change the status often because others will notice it and doubt your trustworthiness.
2. Make friends. The site can find active Facebook friends for you using emails in your address books of a few free web email providers like Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc. Once you get a few friends, new friend requests will pour in from your friends of friends. You can also search for friends and send requests. Work on creating a network of 100 to 200 friends. Don’t make friends with celebrities because in most cases these are fake profiles setup for marketing purposes.
3. Upload pictures and videos.
