Facebook For Newbies


Social networking is becoming much more popular as the years are passing by. Chances are, if you do not have a Facebook, you probably will at some point in the near future. Many people have put off getting one, because they either don't have time for it or do not want to learn how to use Facebook.

If you are new to the site, it may seem very confusing. When it first became popular it was pretty simple to navigate and figure out how to use. They have now introduced "timeline" which can be complicated to get use to if you have not used sites like this in the past. There are a few great tips to follow which allow you to make Facebook use simple and enjoyable.

Make sure that you use a current and updated picture for your profile. You can post as many pictures as you would like to on your profile, but for the main picture that people see when they look you up you can only choose one. Having a current picture can help people searching for you find you much easier.

When creating your Facebook.com profile and timeline be sure to use your full name, and any former names, such as a maiden name. Facebook.com allows people to search for others by other names they have used in the past, so this should make locating and friend requesting old acquaintances easier.

Requesting friends on Facebook can be very exciting. You can simply search for a name or put in an e-mail address and if your friend or family member has a Facebook account it will let you invite them to be your friend.

You may feel like you are overwhelmed at first with trying to find people but at the side of your screen it will show you suggestions of people that you may know which can make it easier for you. It is very important not to give your password out to anyone, or add random people that you do not know. Scammers and spammers are lurking all over the internet and can do harm to your computer.

Online social media has become the way of the future. It seems anybody with a computer or smartphone is logging on to tell the world where they are and what they are up too. Facebook is the biggest social media site in history and has currently topped over 900 million users. The popularity is all down to the simplicity of keeping in touch with contacts, chatting, advertising and sharing information with the people who matter directly on Facebook.

There are many beneficial reasons for become an active user on social media online. A business for example could easily create a group directly for staff and keep them informed about work practices, seminars, and other useful titbits. It is a huge time and money saver. There is also the option of uploading documents and files for private access by group member, this can also be a popular way to try and recruit new people and get others interested in the business. A lot of companies have found new staff through online profiles so it is a quick and easy way to find a new team.

Advertising and making profit on Facebook is easily at hand for beginners and experts. This can be done by creating a count and advertising through links or status updates, while getting others interested. Another way for those with less time on their hands is to pay for some cleverly placed company adds which will then be simply accessible from Facebook users. The fee is affordable and very worthwhile when you are looking at a website that has millions of users logging in on a daily basis from all over the globe.
