One of the best ways to leverage your presence on Facebook is to be sure you don’t neglect adding information to your “about” section on your personal profile and your Fan Page.
Too many people neglect this hugely valuable asset that allows people to find out more about who you are and what you do.
In today’s article, I share tips for your personal profile settings.
Take time to complete your “about” section as shown in the image below. Utilize the “Details About You” to promote yourself and add a link to a capture page or to your blog post.
