FACEBOOK

I hate using the word “literally,” but literally everyone and their mother is on Facebook. Okay, that is another exaggeration, but I have a license to exaggerate; I’m a humorist. Who knew that the middle-aged and even the ascending middle-aged (Politically Correct term for old) would embrace this social device as much as they do? But Facebook does offer a huge potential audience for writers, artists, entrepreneurs and charities. So the days of turning your nose up at this social media vehicle should be long gone.

Facebook is about so much more than posting a status. Facebook connects people who share family members, friendships, hobbies, professions and professional associations, volunteer work and so much more. And you can show off your pets. Ain’t nothing better than that! So how do you expand your Facebook reach?

Friends: When I talk to Facebook virgins, the first concern they express is how to find friends. Finding friends is the easiest part of Facebook. Go to Facebook.com and register. Then, when your profile is active, search out people you know. Are your siblings, cousins, friends on Facebook? If so, send a friend request. Once you gain a few friends, you will be surprised how other family members, friends, colleagues and acquaintances ask to connect to you. As in all social situations—real and virtual—the key ingredient to building a friend base is to be nice and interested. This is my Facebook caveat, and this one is definitely for the Facebook newbies: NOT EVERYONE ON FACEBOOK IS A GOOD PERSON! There is a good chance that some man or woman will message you and tell you that he or she likes your smile or your eyes and that you look like a person he or she wants to get to know so you both can build a relationship together. Facebook is NOT Match.com, Christian Mingle or even AshleyMadison. So if someone propositions you or proposes marriage, it’s most likely not love at first sight. On Facebook, you can be as transparent as you want, but I do recommend some privacy barriers. When people ask you to be a friend, click on their profile to see if you share friends or if you can see any information about them. Sometimes, their privacy walls limit what you can see. The best advice I can give with this is CAUTION. If you friend someone and then realize he or she is on the FBI’s Most Wanted List…or already in prison…hit the unfriend and block buttons. It’s not hard to do.

There are certain unofficial “rules” you should follow on Facebook. I will admit that most of these rules are common sense, but, alas, much of our world does not run on common sense, so let’s check out the rules.
