What You Need to Create a Facebook Profile
First Name
Last Name
Email
*Gender
*Birthday
*Notes:
Gender will automatically show up on your profile (but can easily be removed)
Birthday will automatically show up on your profile (but can easily be removed)
You must be at least 13 years old to sign-up

Most Important Steps:
Step 3- You can be a part of multiple networks but will pick one *primary* network, often verified by an email that ends with your network web address (e.g. @ogilvypr.com, @gwu.edu)
Step 5- Adding Interests connects you to other users or to brands you like. You can search for interests like “cooking” or brands such as “Yankees” or “Lakers.”
NOTE: All of this is optional or can be changed at any time.

Now you can add as much information as you please. Later this manual will show you how to control who sees what information you enter here.
Your Profile:
The Basic Information section shown here is where you can choose whether to share your gender and birthday with friends.
Now you can add a photo, a bio, your political views, what you’re looking for through Facebook, etc.

How and Why to Create Friend Lists
Friend List: Groupings of friends into categories you create such classmates, BFFs, family, crushes, coworkers… whatever you want.
How:
Create friend lists here
Add a name to help you organize friends (e.g. family, school, Ogilvy, networking)
Add friends to lists when you send/accept a request at anytime. They won’t know they’ve been added to a list
You can have up to 100 friend lists with 1,000 friends per list
Why:
Friend Lists help you manage connections and control your privacy
In Privacy and Account settings you can control which friend lists can or can not see certain information or photos and updates.
In Messages and Invites you can easily add groups of friends at once by adding an entire friend list

Finding the Most Important Settings
Account, Privacy, and Application Settings:
Find them at any time from the drop-down menu labeled “Account”
Facebook created a great 3-minute tour of the basics that I bookmarked at: http://tinyurl.com/FBHomePageTour

Finding the Most Important Settings: Account
(Notice the tabs across the top for navigation)
Account: Home
Most of these titles are self-explanatory
A few that aren’t:
Username- This will create a personalized URL for you such as Facebook.com/MyName.
Linked Accounts- This will automatically log you into Facebook if you’re in these other accounts. Great for power users.
Deactivate Account- To permanently terminate your account and your information click here.

Account: Notifications
Use the Notifications Settings to decide what Facebook what should email or text message you about.
These emails will come to your primary email address.
Just check or uncheck boxes to change settings.
Settings cover Facebook messages as well as any applications on your profile, such a Photos or Notes.

Account: Facebook Ads
Facebook encourages you to sign up for brand Pages and Applications by showing you which friends are also fans by displaying their names.
To turn this off completely or limit it to certain friends use this drop down.
Examples of where your name would appear.

Account: Other Settings You’ll Rarely Touch
Networks-Add new workplaces, schools, etc.
Mobile-Add text message alerts
Language-Change language
Payment-Some games and applications cost money, buy “Credits” here w/ cc.

When you choose My Networks it will allow others from your school or workplace to see the information even if you are not friends with them.
When you choose Everyone it will let ANY Facebook user or browser see the information even if you aren’t friends with them.
Turn On or Off your Wall here.
Preview Your Profile-Curious what this will look like to each group? Click Preview My Profile to see the default and Customize views.

Privacy: Applications and Websites
Control where you name, photo, and information are used on Applications and Websites.
Friends may see your birthday on an e-card site or other profile information. Turn it off here.
If you get too many Application invitations from a particular friend block that friend’s request or all requests here.
Sites like Pandora.com, Yelp.com, and WashingtonPost.com are partnering with Facebook to show you what you and friends are doing on the site. For details click Edit Settings (next slide for details).

Things to Remember When Using Facebook….
Always watch out for updates to Facebook. Generally, Facebook will alert you on your Homepage about new updates to Account and Privacy settings. Pay attention.
If you have concerns about Privacy and Account updates keep up with Facebook’s blog where they regularly preview and collect comments on upcoming changes. http://blog.facebook.com/
Facebook is your friend. This is supposed to be a fun, useful tool and Facebook makes money by selling your attention to advertisers so they want you to be happy. Facebook is a service and if at any point you don’t like it anymore, just turn it off.
Don’t forget about the Help Center (see next slide).
