Few weeks ago I met one of my very old and best friend after 3-4 years. All these years we were connected via messenger and sometimes on Facebook,  he used to notice my interest in social media platforms, etc. When we met in person he asked me why I treat social networking so differently than him – in other words, take it so seriously. He is on social network too but only to be connected with friends and relatives and he thinks this is all to be done through social networking sites.

After talking to him I got the idea to write this article on How Much You Understand Yourself On Virtual Platforms - your potential and ability to present yourself. There are possibilities, opportunities and much knowledge flowing for professionals and educationists inside social networks but for that you should have a positive mindset, dedication and a knowledge-hungry attitude.

If you have all the above mentioned attributes but are still confused in presenting yourself on Facebook then keep reading this post. I hope this will help you make your social network fruitful.

How much you understand yourself?

Just because one sunny day you got an invitation from a close friend to join him on Facebook, you accepted it. But now what? If that was your first experience on any social network then you must find everything around you weird. But give it some time and try understanding the whole thing technically. Your Facebook profile is the best way to show how much you understand yourself. Try not to miss out any column while filling in details of your profile… be true to yourself.

Why you are on Facebook?

If you say I am here because all my school friends are here, my girlfriend is here and now my office colleagues and even my ex-boss are on Facebook.  But soon you will realize that there is much more to do on Facebook than just connecting with someone you already know, though nothing wrong in that either.  Think how you can take advantage of a 400 million strong global crowd gathered in one place! Isn’t this is an opportunity to expand your horizon?  Before that check the next point…

What are your likes and dislikes?

The 400 million users of Facebook don’t care what do you like or dislike. This question is more important to you than others because you need a strong and friendly connection in order to benefit. Every human being has his likes, dislikes, fear and perfection in a subject, thing or art. Think where you stand and you will also get the answer of my question “Why you are on Facebook”?

Other than your friends and close relatives, whom you want to be added in your Facebook network and why?

So, now if you are confident of virtually expanding your network and ready to take advantage of this mega crowd of humans then sit tight and start adding people to your network, don’t just add your friend’s friends. Also add people whom you find suitable to your likes, needs and purpose.

Where you can get more friends on Facebook according to your niche or need?

Use Facebook’s real time search options, find related groups, fan pages, and people. Add some classy Facebook applications and play cool games. Start communicating with others via updates &comments. don’t be shy or reserved.

Other than getting connected with friends and relatives, most people join Facebook for professional, spiritual and social reasons or just to have fun.  Now, you have to find and create your own standing between your connections. Hope you now understand yourself better!
