[@emmanueljarillo3848]

I'm a senior and this video gives me a lot of information about Facebook. I've bookmarked this and till get back to it the next time I'm free. Thanks a lot for your good deeds.

[@angelinaalarcon132]

thank you for this straightforward video and to the point. It was been very helpful for a beginner like me. Let the universe continue giving you blessings

Audrey, you are helping so many people, you are awesome!

[@cynthiaconsolani8170]

Thank You, Much for this video. You are the best teacher on KZbin that I came across for explaining Facebook. I look forward to learn more from you. ; ))

[@jackieblue6116]

Bless you my Lady! I've been a fb holdout for years despite being pressured by everyone everywhere. I'm caving in but at this point it feels like learning how to use a telephone at the age of 49. My career demands me knowing this stuff and I miss extended family on fb so in the spirit of better late than never, I'm gonna cautiously dip a toe in. Your video helps a lot. Thank you.

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Awe, you are not alone, I hear that from so many people about feeling forced to join FB just to keep up with one another. It doesn't help that there is so much to Facebook and so many things to learn. I'm just glad the video helped and at least gave you a little glimpse into that world before you jump. :) If you do have any questions let me know and I'll try to answer them for you. Enjoy and have fun! Be Blessed, Audrey

[@jackieblue6116]

Thank you!! I have a hunch you're a believer... yes? 🙌🏼✨

I'm completely new to FB and this was invaluable to me. Thank you so much.

Thank you Audrey. Excellent tutorial that helped me understand several basics that I either did not know about, or flat did not know how to use. I look forward to learning more from your future videos. Thanks again.

+Jobs Burleson Tx Awe thank you for sharing, I'm sure there are plenty of people that are on Facebook that are confused by it. That getting old is catching up with me also. I keep forgetting stuff also and I'm not sure if it's really old age or just to much stuff to do. I think I'm going to say to much stuff to do. lol Be Blessed, Audrey

[@clayconcannon4609]

Hey Audre, Im trying to teach my mom how to use Facebook, but I live in OR and she lives in WA so its hard to explain things to her over the phone. I was looking for a youtube video that would explain and show her how to use the features of Facebook and I found you! I was so excited to find something so perfect and easy to understand like your video. The problem is that every year or so Facebook updates their software and changes the way people find their friends or update their picture etc. For example: Facebook use to have a little phrase on your profile picture that if you clicked "update your profile picture" it would take you to the page where you could do so. Now you have to run your cursor over the your profile picture before the "update your picture link" will show. This is very frustrating for some people that don't use Facebook enough to learn these tricks but rely on Facebook in order to find and communicate with old friends. I know it would mean a lot to my mom and countless others if you could update your video to show how to navigate Facebook since their most recent update. Thanks again for making such a great video! God bless! Delaney

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

You got it Clay!! I planned on doing an updated one but just showing the updates FB has made in the last 2 years. That's what is so hard about these video tutorials because these sites are constantly changing and when they do not everyone sees those changes at the same time. As soon as I get that video up (within the next 2 weeks) I'll let you know via this comment. In the meantime check out our FB Page facebook.com/SM4Beginners/ I share a lot of video tutorials and FB Live trainings over there and love to interact with our fans there as well. Thanks so much for the comment, your sweet words and the suggestions. I appreciate it a lot. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@myrio1]

I have a question from 6:39 about the "little privacy button". My page does not show a "little privacy button". It seems to simply skip that. It is not there. Can you help me with that? Thank you!

[@colsonwalter7360]

very good and was able to follow along. Thanks. But now I saw I posted some pictures for the public to see. How do I change that to be private only?

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

+Colson Walter It all depends if you're on a desktop or using the Facebook app on your phone or tablet. If you are using the Facebook App you are not able to change the privacy on your photos or photo albums, you are only able to determine the privacy when you first upload the image. However, if you are on a desktop/laptop you would go to the image and to the right of the image you should see your profile picture with your name right beside it. Under your name is the date you uploaded it then beside it you probably see the little globe. Click on the down arrow beside that and then choose Edit Post or Album Privacy. You're then taken to that post where once again you'll see your name, date you posted it then next to the audience you shared it with click the down arrow and choose the audience you want to be able to see the image. I know it's a lot of steps. If you need me to I'll do a Napoleon's Idiot Episode about changing the privacy settings on photos. Hope this helped, Audrey

[@mslollie8317]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I now understand the nuggets of how the different functions of FB. I'm also wondering if you can do a video for beginning for a business face page? :)

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hi +Ms Lollie I'm so glad you got some nuggets out of this video tutorial. I actually do have a whole training on a Business page on Facebook. All of the same things apply and I walk you step by step but some of the things have changed where they are located. You can check it out here: www.livinlyfemarketing.com/facebook-basics-for-business/ Facebook's business side is constantly changing and I was having a time trying to keep the videos up to date so I figured I'd help the end user. If you have any questions about Facebook just let me know. I'll be more than happy to help any way I can. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@DonnaAllen]

Thank you so much for sharing this. It seems as though when I learn something new. Facebook changes things up a bit.

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

+Donna Allen You are so welcome. Trust me I know what you mean. Keeping up with all the changes is definitely a challenge. But hey if they do change something at least you have a place to come and ask about. If I don't know the answer I find it for you. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@DonnaAllen]

Hi and thank you for the reply! One thing is for sure this is a lost art..engaging with the people. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@brzsht]

Thanks so much for this video! I have noticed within the past few months that many (but not all) of the messages I have sent on Facebook that were marked "Seen" now do not have that word under them, or any other information. What happened? I have not downloaded any apps or anything; neither have any of the recipients. Also in the past few months, any new messages I send also do not have "Seen" at the bottom, even though I have talked to the recipients and they all have received and read them.

[@cherlock4222]

Good information, would like to have seen basics of setting up a personal account vs. a business account.

[@lindalopez6845]

I just seen your video on " Updated Beginners Guide To Facebook" and I want to learn how to post my stores on my timeline and on the right side where it says " sponsored' but no one here has taught on that...do you have a video that teaches this?

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hey there Linda, Posting stories to your Timeline should be automatic whenever you post a status update. It goes right to your Timeline and into the NewsFeed of all your friends. Now the sponsored stories you may see in your News Feed and over on the side are paid ads. Unfortunately I do not have any training on that because I have just used it with my own business. My sister and I have thought about doing a class on it because we've learned so much but haven't gotten that far. I will tell you that Jon Loomer www.jonloomer.com has amazing free content he shares on his blog about FB ads and then of course he has classes that he offers. You might want to start there just reading his post to get familiar with FB ads. Hope that helps! Be Blessed, Audrey

[@djsundayrides4869]

Thank you for the video. I have been on facebook for a bit and I don't know it to much and I wanted to know more about facebook so was looking at your video. I have a question? One of my friends facebook page when I go on it. Under her friends it said 0 friends. I know she has a lots of friends can she block that or have it in private so I can't see it ? Thanks for your help. DJ

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hey DJ, Yes, there is a setting she has turned on to hide her friends list. I think a lot of people do that because they may have someone that looks at their friend list then tries to send a friend request to all their friends. At least that is what I hear from the majority of people that hide their friends list. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@djsundayrides4869]

Hi. At 13:42 "These two are always set to private" .. should be: "... set to public". Please mention in the introduction as it's confusing.

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

I went back and made the note a little bigger so hopefully those that watch it from her on out will not be confused. Sorry about that and thank you so much for letting me know. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@spiroscostas1642]

Hi - thank you very much for getting back - my Facebook page is facebook.com/spirosdynamic

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hi Spiros Costas, It looks like you have a personal profile page that you have created and not the Facebook Business page that gives you the ability to "Like" the page. Each Business page is attached to a personal profile page so, from this account that you have you are able to make a Business page. If you look to the left of your Home page you should see a link that says Create Page. Once you click on that then you can follow this video I did to help walk you through setting up a Facebook Business page. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYSleY16pqZkjKs Hope this helps. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@yeshua4U]

what does " a photo that you were "tagged" in"? tagging?

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

+Terry Elliott When you see a photo that you were tagged in it means that someone uploaded a photo of you, or a photo that reminds them of you, or a photo they want you to see. When you "tag" someone on Facebook two things happen, 1. You create a link to that persons profile where anyone that sees the photo can click on your name and go to your personal profile however, YOU control what people see on your profile by the Timeline and Tagging settings 2. The person that is tagged gets notified that they were tagged in the photo at which point they can untag themselves if they so choose. Does that make sense? Be Blessed, Audrey

Hi can we set up a Business account on FaceBook that is not linked to a Person eg me A stand alone Business account is this possible .????? Please let me know Have a great Day

[@ijusthappenedtonotlikecorn8086]

(plz don't call me a noob for this)For the notification thing(I'm using FB in phone so yea,I dunno if you know what I mean),there's this notification says"Do you know*name of the FB user* " what or how does it do?

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

I think this is a legitimate question that MANY FB users ask whether they've been on for years or just getting started. Great question also! Facebook uses an algorithm...a fancy, scientific name that basically means steps Facebook takes to accomplish a task, which in this case is to suggest friends for you to connect with on their platform. So, if you are friends with a person on FB and FB notices that you both went to school together then it may suggest other people from that same school. Or, you are friends with your family and FB notices that your brother and sister are friends with a distant relative that you are not friends with then it will suggest that person. Facebook is all about connecting people, so they want you to connect with as many people as you can so they suggest these people so that you might become friends with them. Does that make sense?

How about when someone sends you something on Private Message and they want you to send it to someone else. How do you do this??

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hey Barbara, You could always copy the message and then message the other person and paste that message in there. The only way you can add anyone to a private conversation on Facebook is if that conversation had more than two people. So if the message went out to a group of people, all those people within that message could add their friends to that conversation. However, if the message was only between lets say you and your friend then neither of you are able to add anyone and the only way to send it to someone else would be to copy and paste it to the other person. Does that make sense? Be Blessed, Audrey

Hi Patti, Couple of questions I have before I can answer. Are you using the FB apps on your tablet/smartphone? When you say send them to your photos, do you mean on your computer or your photo album on Facebook?

[@Patti160]

Hi, 1st question: No, do not use F/B apps on tablet/smartphone. #2 question: I mean on my photo album on Facebook. Thank you.

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Patti, You'll have to download the image then upload it to your photos. To do this, go to the message that has the photo and click on the photo. It should open up in a window and you should see a download link either to the top left of the image or bottom right of image. Download it to your computer. Once it's downloaded then go to your photos or the album you want to upload it to. Let me know if you have any more questions. Hope that helped. Be Blessed, Audrey

It said to click on link below. But I find no link

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hi +Rene van dockum are you referring to the end of the video where I talk about the courseI put together for Facebook? If so, the link says Learn More, of course it's right above the timeline for the video so its hard to click on. :( If you want you can always click on this link socialmedia4beginners.com/course/facebook-101-course/ and sign up for the Facebook 101 course. Be Blessed, Audrey

Hi Audrey, I’ve watched your video 4 times and I still find Facebook shocking, appalling, and just plain rude. (Please understand me, I’m not saying that about you, but about Facebook.) I find it this way because as you demonstrated, you don’t ask permission to post anything to anyone or have the ability to approve a post before it gets posted to your site (newsfeed or timeline). You go into your sister’s account and change and add anything you want without asking. I find all of that very disrespectful and unreal, regardless if it’s your sister or a friend. There doesn’t seem to be many Facebook boundaries. It’s pretty much open range for cattle to graze and leave their cow pies behind. I friended one person and all this stuff I didn’t want showed up on my site. How do I get rid of it? You showed how to post things, but how do you clean out the horse stall? Just so you know where I’m coming from, I’m 66 and have worked in 4 industries (farming, counseling, private investigation, and am just entering Real Estate). My managing broker encouraged me to set up an FB account with a business page to market properties. I’m used to the world of “confidentiality” and am “respectful” of the privacy of others. I find Facebook personally very intrusive and dangerous. “Information can and will be used against you in a court of law, whether that court be formal (before a judge) or informal (before your peers).” Gossip/slander/libel have devastated the lives of many a person, often times without the source (former friends, co-workers, etc.) of the gossip/slander/libel even knowing any damage was done. I’ve seen it many times and have experienced it myself. I don’t wish it on anyone…So how do I get rid of this unwanted stuff (text/photos - all of it)???

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hi there Scooter Gene. Wow, you've watched this video 4 times? You should be an expert by now. lol I'm going to respond by going through you comment from the top to the bottom ok? 1. Let's clear up the News Feed/Timeline thing. The News Feed is where you will see posts, photo, videos, links that your friends or businesses pages you have liked want to share with their friends. The only reason you are seeing these are because you became friends with them or "Liked" a Business page. There is no way to approve these because it's simply your friends sharing what they want to share with you, their friend. Your Timeline on the other hand is your personal profile, which YOU have control over who posts on it. With my sister, we work together and she is very well aware that I use her profile, name and such in the video tutorials I do on KZbin. As far as changing anything on her personal profile I am not able to do that. So I'm not sure what you are referring to when you stated, "You go into your sister’s account and change and add anything you want without asking." Let me know where in the video you are talking about and I can let you know what I did. As far as seeing or being able to post on her Timeline I am only able to do that because she has given all of her friends permission to do that within her Timeline and Tagging settings on FB. If you do not want anyone to be able to post anything on your Timeline than you can change your settings to not allow friends to see what other post on your timeline. As far as getting rid of "text/photos - all of it" are you referring to the News Feed or your Timeline? If it's the News Feed the only way to get rid of it is to unfriend everyone because you will always see things in your News Feed from your friends. If it's your Timeline then you can change your settings under the Timeline and Tagging settings to not allow anyone to post on your Timeline and that will take care of your personal profile. I definitely understand the whole gossip/slander/libel but for me before I post ANYTHING whether private (or so people think it's private) or on public forums I always ask myself if it's something I am willing to back up and don't mind others seeing. You do run the risk of someone taking something you write the wrong way but at that point I just try to explain it the best I can and if they still misunderstand then that's on them. Remember that you have control over what you put on Facebook and you choose who sees it. It is a whole new world on the Internet but your broker is right about marketing the properties on Facebook but don't forget you have KZbin also. Hope this helped clear up some things about others personal profile and your News Feed. If not just let me know. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@scootergene1976]

Hi Audrey, Thanks for responding. I really appreciate it. You need to remember I’m an “old” dude and this is a whole new experience. I’m a slow learner and don’t know the FB terminology, so it takes some reps for things to sink in. I’m not sure I understood everything you wrote, so let me summarize. News Feed - this comes from my friends and there’s no way to control this...if I don’t like what they post, I “unfriend’ them. Correct?... What about “not follow”, what does that do? I’ve heard you can still be a friend but not follow them so what they share doesn’t appear in your News Feed. Is that correct information? Timeline - this is on my personal profile and I can control who posts on it. Correct? (I didn’t catch the fact that you were given permission from your sister to do things to her profile. It appeared you just did them without asking.) But what about who sees my profile? Facebook wants you to enter your whole life’s history for everyone in the world to see, and in many cases wants specific answers, such as home town, schools, businesses, jobs titles, etc. I tried to enter general terms but they won’t let you enter general terms, only specifics. Because of the industries and jobs I worked, some things I can’t legally share and others I don’t care to share. I’ve entered the info for only me to see, but remnants or references to it show up on my home page. Can other people see those references? I’m unclear of just what others can see or not see since I can see it all. It seems that it would be better to leave that info blank. Correct? Tagging - in my day “tag” was a game kids played. You ran after someone, touched them and they were “it. So what’s the purpose of “tagging” on FB and why would you want to do it? KZbin - Ok Audrey, you’ve gone a little too far here. One thing at a time. Definitely not ready for that. I’ve been in realtor computer training for the last two months and I’m in total information overload and have another training today. My brain is ready to explode!!! To young people who grow up on technology, it’s easy. To us older folks whose brain thinks differently (and slower) it takes a while. Thank you for being so gracious and responding to my post. I really do appreciate it. You’ve been very helpful. Scooter Gene

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hi Scooter, Never received a notification that you responded so I just now saw your response. Awe, you're not an "old" dude, you're still very "young". Think about it, someone who is 10 years older than you is wishing they were as young as you are. ;) We're all young at heart, at least that is my philosophy on age is. Nothing but a number. Let me address each of your summations below. News Feed - You can unfriend them but you can also tell Facebook that you don't want to see the sort of post they are posting either. There is a down arrow by every post and you can click on that then choose Hide Post. You'll start seeing less and less of these sorts of post. As far as Unfollowing somebody that is the best option really. You do remain friend with them but you just don't see any of their posts in your News Feed. Timeline - Yes, I would leave it all blank except maybe your email since you will be in Real Estate and the To view what others see on your Timeline go to your personal profile. On the cover photo you should see Update Info | View Activity Log | Then 3 dots ... Click on those three dots then choose View As... You'll get a black bar at the top of your account showing you what your profile looks like to the public. Anything you see that you don't want the public to see is the place you need to go and change the settings to. When you're done you can click on that X at the top left of the black bar. Tagging - Watch this video Dad and I did about Tagging. Maybe it will explain it a little bit better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6Kom4ekoK6bb6s KZbin - Hey the scariest part is over, creating the account and interacting with channels. You're already far ahead of the curve ball on this one. But really KZbin is another great marketing tool in the arsenal for Realtor. I'm not sure if you know this or not but I do offer Video tutorials for Beginners over at socialmedia4beginners.com/ It's a membership site where we offer classes on Skype, Facebook, Twitter and KZbin and will be adding a course on the Facebook App for smart phones and tablets. I go into great detail about using these Social Media sites and I slow it down a bit since we are going over so much information. It also has the Written instructional guides to go along with each course. Anyway I hope that answered some of your questions and you're understanding Facebook even more now. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@goodformeilovedogs860]

I don't think I want to be on facebook.

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

You don't have to be on Facebook. There are other ways to stay connected like Skype and Facetime and there is always email. :) Be Blessed, Audrey

[@lindalopez6845]

There is background music that is very annoying>.did you want this music on while you are talking?

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Linda, I did put the music on in the background but after some suggestions I no longer have music on in the background when I do videos. Unfortunately, KZbin does not allow me to switch out this video so I am working on a new updated video for Facebook 2017. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@petraliljestrand983]

[@colsonwalter7360]

I dont' know how I became Colson Walter?

[@DiligentDrew]

I don't know why but people don't like me on facebook we will talk then they will unfriend me.Also know one ever ads me as a friend without me adding them or knowing them i thought facebook was to make friends not to just friend your in real life friends lol

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

+DiligentDrew I think a lot of people are more careful on who they become friends with and unfortunately there are to many people that are not upright and don't have good intentions. Facebook is a place where once you friend someone that have access basically to your life. If you are looking to meet new people on Facebook who are looking to meet new people, you might want to search the Groups on Facebook and start building relationships with people within certain groups. Find a group of people that share your interest and start socializing with them. Within a controlled group, people can get to know you and it will be easier to send that friend request and have others send you friend requests because they feel like they know you already. Hope that helps and you're able to find some new friends on Facebook that share your interest. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@DiligentDrew]

Thank you so much :) i will try that :D
