Setting Up a Facebook Profile

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:16:01 +0000

Are you on Facebook yet? With nearly a half a billion active Facebook users around the world, I'd be surprised if you weren't. However, not many of you have become About Home Business fans ("Like" my page) on Facebook so I have to wonder if some of you just aren't a little bit intimidated by all this newfangled stuff. Or, perhaps, worried about privacy issues.

If you've been curious about Facebook and thinking about signing up, the first step is create an account login and start setting up your profile.

The initial setup of your profile goes pretty quickly and easily and will allow you start connecting with with friends, clients, customers, and companies. Setting Up a Facebook Profile will walk you through the process and get you on your way. You don't need any financial or credit card info - Facebook is completely free to use and to setup, unless you plan to advertise or play games that require money.

Take the Facebook Poll

I hope you'll take the Facebook poll and let me know where you're at. And if you have any technical difficulties participating in the poll, please leave a comment on this post so I can try to get them ironed out for you.

I plan to use the poll results to help guide me in creating future Facebook content for you. In the nearly immediate future you can expect to see articles on privacy settings in Facebook and setting up a Facebook fan page to promote your home business. But I'd like to know where to go from there.

Facebook Success Summit 2010

I'll be attending a month long Facebook Success Summit this October, so expect lots more insider tips and tricks to come. Regulars may remember my reporting on the Social Media Success Summit in May of this year. I got loads out of that Summit, and since this one (that deals specifically with Facebook) is being put on by the same folks, I expect to have plenty to share.
