Display the Most Influential Friends

Something most people don’t even think that can adjust are the friends who show up on the side of your page. You CAN change and actually select which friends will show up everytime. Here is where you would want to decide who your most influential “friends” are. You may want to have mom and dad, or even your best friend, but it is also a good idea to put up those who are influential to what you are trying to do. You decide who will make the cut.

1. Navigate to your “Profile” page.

2. Hover over the little icon in the right corner on the “Friends” box. Here is where you can edit who displays on your page. You can have 6, 8, or 12 friends be displayed. Just start typing in the names of those you want to be on there!

Make Sure You Add ALL Your Friends

If you are starting your own business, those of around you in your everyday life are going to be a great support for helping you get going. Nothing is better than a referral from a friend. Or even a friend of a friend. So you should definitely start with those you know.

You are going to want to add all of your contacts that currently exist in your address book for your email account. And if you are anything like me, you have more than one email account. So make sure you do this to each and every email address you have set up for yourself. I am sure there are different people you contact through each, so make sure to add them all.

1. First, you are going to go to the “Friends” tab and then to the “Find Friends” option.
