5 most Common mistakes newbies make on facebook

 1. incomplete profile. When creating your profile, you should understand that Outside being a social networking site, facebook is also a marketplace that is to say that it is like a open field or a space where once you post anything clicks.. the next  second millions of people around the globe will have access to your profile and again it is very common and rather disappointing when your friends access your  profile page and fail to find any information about it. they don’t know what it is about, what’s its goal, where you are  located, whether you has a website or not, among other things Like your recent events, likes and dislikes. It is essential for you  that you complete all the information of your  profile.

2. . YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. It’s necessary that as owners and administrators of your pages in social networks you know the terms and conditions to do things right, not just because this is the way it should be but because Facebook might review your page and cancel it. Definitely this would mean a much bigger problem than simply reading the tedious terms and conditions.

 3.  YOU ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN LIKES AND DISLIKES. This is a very logical point but sometimes we forget to put ourselves in the user’s shoes, Accessing a profile page and realizing the only thing they publish are posts related to the oneself etc. is boring! This is necessary but it cannot be the ONLY thing you publish. It’s not very pleasant to be around people that only talk about themselves and that don’t care about you, that can’t be bothered to ask about your life or your family. We tend to avoid people who are all about “me me me me”.  Actually, in this case your fans come first and then yourself. First you must create the space, the community, the trust, the loyalty. You have to pamper your audience, listen to them, if necessary ask them their opinion. It is your job to establish the basis of a friendship

 4. YOU DON’T ANSWER TO COMMENTS.This point is essential to reinforce the relationship with your fans. If someone went through the trouble of writing an enquiry or a complaint about something, please answer. This point is closely related to the previous one because we discuss doing things so your audience will want to follow you. Share with your fans information that can improve their quality of life or their work. Make your fans feel special. Answer promptly to their questions. They need to perceive you are reading them and that you are interested in their concerns.

 5. YOU REALLY WANT TO BE PART OF ALL SOCIAL NETWORKS. Many people want to be part of all social network. They create a Youtube channel, a profile in Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Pinterest, Vine, etc, etc, etc. But honestly it will do you no good if you cannot sustain it throughout time. start with one, maybe two, and once you are an expert handling them then you can widen your scope to other social networks.
