Do you love socializing? Do you want to explore your
social network area? Or just want to promote your blog on Facebook? Definitely
we all want the same. But most of the time we find it is hard to do. Let me
explain some points that will help you to do all this.
Little about Facebook:
Facebook is universal
social networking site that allows users to communicate, share, and modify
their ideas, thoughts, opinions and events on the basis of ideological and technological
foundation through Web 2.0.
Profile: It is the self-bio data of the user which contents photo,
qualification, interest, books, movies, activities, religion, political view
and place where user is staying and employed.
How can we improve our
Facebook profile?
Or
How can we get more
friends on Facebook?
Lots of people asked
me this,especially by the students and my colleagues. So I thought I can share
it with you all. Before this you might be want to know about social media and
life, you may read Social Media and Life.
#01: Put your picture
on your profile:
Yes! It doesn't
matter how ugly or handsome/beautiful you are. Most of the Facebook users keep
photos of celebs, sports players, and other to show their identity. If I want
to be your friend then how can I recognize you? It gives a surety to others
that, they have got right person to whom they are looking. A good quality and
clear image makes your profile decent and cool. Another thing is your cover
photo, just be creative because it represents you in your absence.
#02: Don’t keep
profile empty:
In
the last week I visited to several profiles and most of them were just empty.
You sent a friend request to acquaintance or a person to whom you met just once
and then what will he/she do? Definitely he/she will visit to your profile
to know who you are, from where you are, what would you like to do, what are
your favorites and all. That is the importance of keeping profile informative
and updated. If you will keep empty it may sound fake and creepy. So in short
let them know who you are. Fill all the information about education,
employment, interest, activities,favorite book, movies and your website (if
any).
#03: Be what you are:
I think
it is just not about social networking it is about whole life and base point of
being happy. You must know your social status and frequency. Avoid sending
dozens of request in single day because you are just annoying to other users
and you may get blocked. It is much better to be patient, doing suddenly jump
in the groups and events that you don’t know will cause you to get panic and
you’ll get unnecessary notifications and updates. So it is great idea to know
your niche. It may help to expand your socializing.
#04: Keep updating
status:
Always update your
status; it indicates that you are regular/active user. I think 5 to 12 posts
are enough in the week.
Avoid copy and paste
(sometime it is quite good, if post content valuable information or thoughts
then it doesn't matter); it simply means that you don’t have to say anything
and you are amusing yourself. Have look on this “Good Morning friends, have nice day.” do you think it is status, may be it
seems (I don’t think so), we should always keep in mind that users just want
two things either information or entertainment. Updates on current issues,
events, funny photo/clips and interesting updates can do well instead of “Good
Morning”. Post short and sweet updates usually long posts are heavy to digest;
your post length should be moderate.
#05: Comment:
It is a versatile tool for the social networking. Communication is a backbone
of social media. It’s a two way process input and output. If you will keep your
opinion, idea, or simply greeting will make them to feel special. Another
benefit is that lots of users will swing from your profile.
Be alert!

platform for all kinds of people whether good or bad. There are some points
