Facebook
is for the old ones! OMG! Do people still use Facebook in 2019? I deactivated
Facebook because it is filled with gory and unseen pictures! Yuck! Facebook is
disgusting. People keep tagging you to stupid posts and you keep receiving
annoying messages every time!
We’ve heard similar
stories from people. While social media can be seen as a form of distraction as
it has some negative impact on people, Facebook has often been listed amongst
the social media platforms to be avoided.
However, we have people
that have improved their skills and become more productive through Facebook.
How can this be achieved? Below are 7 ways to make Facebook more productive.
1. Stay in touch with your family
members and friends
Your family members
will not be with you forever. They will move to different cities, work in
different places, get married and start their own new families.
How do you then stay in
touch with them without having to travel a long distance just to know how they
are fairing or spend hours on a phone call while you ask after their welfare?
Facebook is an ideal
platform to keep up with their lives. However, this goes beyond scrolling
through your newsfeed to know what school your old classmate is attending. You
can create a group dedicated to your family members. In this platform, you will
share information and updates while maintaining privacy from the outside world.
In a closed group, the
posts will only be visible to group members and they can upload photos, chat
and invite more family members to easily join the group.
2. Find a job
Are you on the hunt for
a new job? Searching for a new position can be done using social media.
Facebook can serve as a platform to find a job. You can connect with people at
several organizations with the use of Facebook. After having an idea of your
interests, you can update a status, asking friends to assist you in contacting
someone in the industry for more information.
However, you need to be
very careful when doing this. Avoid writing a status such as: “Assist me! I need a job and I don’t know how
to go about it!”
If you are cautious of
what you update on your status, you can search for companies on Facebook (if
they have a page and you have friends on your list who have shown on their
profiles that they work there).
You can also learn
about the company’s values, job openings, and programmes through their Facebook
page.
3. Plan an event
Planning an event is
very quick and easy to do. At the left-hand corner of your Facebook page, you
can click on the “Events” icon. With this, you can manage invites (select
either public or private event and if your guests can invite other friends),
add important information to the guests and keep track of RSVPs.
4. Publicize your blog
A great way to
publicize your blog is by creating a Facebook page. You can also publicize it
by using WordPress’ Facebook Plugin.
This will publish blog posts to your Facebook account automatically. Also, this
post will pop up in the newsfeed of your friends, making them like or comment
on your posts. They can also share your post for their friends to read, thus,
making your blog more popular.
5. Use Facebook to your advantage
You can use Facebook
Docs to integrate document sharing with Facebook friends seamlessly. Through
Facebook Messenger, you can also integrate Facebook with your other
communication needs. With this, you can send Facebook messages to the mobile
phones of your friends and also receive messages from them.
6. Sell on Facebook
Just like Amazon and
eBay and Craiglist, Facebook is another way to sell items. It is free to list
items on Marketplace.
Through Marketplace,
people can publicize their posts in the newsfeed of their friends. Visitors can
also ask questions based on the items posted.
7. Keep your organization’s members
up-to-date
Organizations,
celebrities, and business can easily keep up with people through their Facebook
pages.
