The internet can be a hard place to meet new people. Luckily, there is a website out there that makes it WAY easier! Facebook is a place where you can create a page all about yourself, sort of like that online dating service you are used to using. But, if you are REALLY going to catch the attention of other fellow Facebookers, here a few steps to really impress your new "friends."
Who wants to know boring old you, when they could know the completely awesome new you? Also, show off the fact that you know Photoshop in these 3 easy steps. First, find a picture. This one will do.
You.
Think to yourself how awesome it would be if you just made a few tasteful tweaks.
Better You.
A bit better! Now that your picture reflects the kind of refinement and taste people know you innately possess, why not take it a step further?
Awesome You.
Now we're talking! The only thing that would make that picture cooler is a lens flare and DRAGONS!

Facebook groups are where people share common interests. Except it's boring to like normal things like Soccer or Psychology. Instead, why don't you join groups that say more about your personality? Make sure you join these essentials.

I Love Naps -Â It's funny, because you think of naps as something grade schoolers do. Except you're an adult. Hilarious!
Â
Cats are Cute - There is no force on the internet more powerful than adorable cats, so if you add them to your page, you will be an unstoppable tidal wave of cool.
Â
Everyone - Groups that don't stand for anything, but want everyone to join are a really funny and original idea.
All you have to do is join 40 more like these (minimum) and you're on your way to a bad ass page chicks will TOTALLY GO FOR!

"Friend" is a really loose term on Facebook, so use this to your advantage and be friends with everybody! Who doesn't want more friends? This is particularly true if you are in a position of power. Say, for example, you are a middle school gym teacher. While you may be "plain ol' Mr. Steele" in class, what better way to let your students know you are actually a black wizard in your live-action role-playing club? Invite them to be Facebook friends, and they are sure to see you in an entirely new light!
Â
It's a given that people on the internet are always interested in what you're doing, which is why Facebook now works like Twitter! If you want to be an effective Facebooker, you should let people know what you are doing at all times
