   Add avatar. The first thing you should do after setting up that account is to add your avatar. This will make it easier for people to know who you are, making it easier to talk between you and your friends and family.

   Add friend. Using facebook is pointless if you don't have family or friends to share. You can find people by their name or email, enter your contact list information, and send invitations to friends who are not currently using Facebook.
   • Once you've found the person you want to add, send them a friend invitation. Once they accept the invitation, that person will be added to your Facebook Friends List.

3. 

   Manage privacy settings. There are countless scary stories about people not wanting others to see what they post, or losing their jobs just because of arguing about a shared post. Take some time to set your own privacy to prevent people you don't want to see what you post. advertisement
