If you are new to Facebook, it can seem a bit overwhelming and overwhelming. The truth is that, as with everything, if you give it a little time and allow yourself to simply try things out, you will get the system faster than you had initially thought.
To make it easier, here are some tips:
Tip No. # 1: create your profile page:
If you are already logged in, you will have a profile page. Upload some photos, especially a profile photo to get people to recognize you, add some of your personal details, and start adding friends.
Tip No. # 2: add friends:
To find out what other people are posting and to use this site for its purpose, which is to network with friends, family, and colleagues, you must add friends. This is easily done: if you see someone you know on one of a friend’s pages, just click the “add as friend” button. There is also an area called ‘People You May Know’ where you will find people you may know.
Another good way is to allow Facebook to check which people in your address book are already using Facebook, which you can then link to.
Tip No. # 3: Take time to post updates:
Just like when you are at a party, you will only meet people when you start to interact. On Facebook, this means you post a ‘status update’ in the box provided at the top of every page. You can share in words, through photos, videos or a link that you have found interesting.
Tip No. # 4: Comment on your friends’ updates:
Again, at the party, if you just listen to others, they may not really be interested in continuing to talk to you. You need to participate. On Facebook you do it by commenting on other people’s updates. Just click on the ‘comment’ link under any of your friends’ updates and write something. Don’t worry, you don’t have to write a long essay, a few words are fine.
Tip No. # 5: approve friend requests:
You will soon discover that there are people you know who want to be your friends. You can see that at the top of the screen next to the ‘Facebook’ logo on the symbol with the two heads. If there is a number in a reading box, it means you have open requests from friends. If you know them and want to be friends, just click ‘confirm’ and you’re done.
Remind: Whatever you do, you can always delete it if you don’t like what you wrote, so don’t worry. If you have any questions, there is also a “help section” and you can find the link at the bottom of every Facebook page.
