Getting More Facebook Friends

By Leon Maximus


If you want to expand your business or further your career, you need to expand your networking. Facebook is a major social networking site that gives you opportunity to meet and connect people, either for personal or professional reason. Read more to know about expanding your business or career by connecting with Facebook friends.

When you decide to use Facebook for networking purpose, you must be ready that some of your personal information will become somewhat public. You can reduce how much personal info to share through Facebook by creating two Facebook accounts, one for strictly personal life and the other for business and networking purpose. This also prevents you from accidentally posting something embarrassing on your Facebook profile.

After you create your business personal page, you need to fill in your information. You do not have to give all your personal information, just enough for people to recognize you. Upload some pictures, but avoid silly pictures or any pictures you do not want your business partners or bosses to see.

Facebook allows you to shorten your personal Facebook URL address. You can set this from the Facebook Username page. You cannot change your shortened URL in the future so make sure you choose the best URL. Do not forget to write your Facebook address on business cards.

Start friending people you know, your coworkers, your customers, experts, or any people you have ever met in business setting. You may also include some of your personal friends and family if you are not too strict in separating your business and personal friends. You can also find people with Find Friends feature from Facebook. Type in their email addresses to find them. If they do not have an account attached to the emails, the site itself will send them invitations to open one.

You can expand your friend list by browsing your friends' friend lists. Find people who you might know but not on your list yet. You do not have to personally know those people. These people might be experts, speakers, or someone famous. The next step is to send friend request to them.

Friending a lot of people is not enough. You need to actively participate on Facebook. Read your friends' updates and leave some comments occasionally. Post news and updates about yourself but avoid posting negative things. You need to present yourself as positive and professional persona to impress your Facebook friends who check your Facebook page.
