Facebook: Set Up Your Profile

Step 1

Go to http://www.facebook.com/
Already have a Profile? Skip to Before You Choose Your Page Type.

If Facebook were a country, it would be the 3rd largest country in the world! Just think of the potential customers for your small business.


Step 2

You’ll need to give Facebook your basic personal info to sign up. They’ll walk you through the form to tell you what they want to know.
When you’re done, it should look similar to the box shown here.
Click on Sign Up.



Step 3
Facebook wants you to be connected with people you know, so they’ve built ways to help.

Using this 3-step prompt, you can find friends, fill out some basic Timeline information, and add your profile picture or avatar.

Remember, since this is your personal Timeline, you’ll want to only invite people that you know personally to connect. Save your
customers for your business Page.
If you want to do this later, click Skip this Step.

You don’t need to add all of your friends yet, so in the interest of time, we suggest you skip adding friends already on Facebook. You
can always go back and take advantage of this feature at any time by going to:

http://www.facebook.com/find-friends/

Step 4

Help people know that it’s you! Here you can enter some basic profile information, such as where you went to school or where you work.

Adding your High School, College and Employment information, and interests makes it easier for Facebook to recommend people for you to connect with.



Step 5

Now the fun part: adding your profile pic! You can either upload a favorite photo from your computer, or take a photo with your webcam.
If you go the uploading route, Facebook will let you browse your hard drive for the perfect picture.
Click Browse and Upload a Profile Photo.Then Click Save and Continue.

        

 Step 6:   
Congratulations, you set up your personal Timeline!
Facebook will send a confirmation link to your email so you can verify your email address.
Just click on the link, and it’s official.
