Introduction

I am a Facebook enthusiast, and I have the resume to back it up. I joined FB reluctantly at first and in fact, I did so only to promote my first book “Middle Schoolin.” In the process, I
enjoyed the interactions and friendships with new acquaintances as well as reconnecting with old classmates, neighbors, coworkers, etc. that I went from skeptic to a Facebook convert.
Once I got the hang of Facebook, It was a perfect match for me. I wrote a poem, book, prayer, and a joke all about Facebook! I hope to share my Facebook journey and adventure
with all from the Facebook novice right up to the hardcore user. Even if you are a Facebook hater, you will see that there is something in this book for you. There is a reason why teens, preteens, their parents, and now businesses, see a Facebook presence as a must in this day and age. Love it or hate it, Facebook is now a household word, so we might as well embrace it and use it to our advantage.

In this book you will receive many tips and pointers about how to do just that. In his book, “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” Dale Carnegie states that one of the primal needs that humans have is the need to be acknowledged and recognized. Facebook has done an excellent job of feeding this need. People are able to share pictures, quotes, scriptures, jokes,
etc. and the gratification that they receive can be instant and plentiful. Facebook wants you to feel good about the responses that you get whenever you post your status. How do we know this? Facebook keeps a count of the comments and likes that you receive. There is a direct correlation between the joy one receives and the number of likes and comments that one receives on their status. The feeling is a rush similar to what a comedian receives when he wows his audience or that a singer or other artist receives at the end of a performance.

 

ABC’s for Better Posts - Tips for better posts and status updates

This fun book contains actual posts of mine, which are placed in a dialogue box, along with the number of likes and comments that the post received. The unedited comments from friends are also placed under each post. For the most part, Facebook is all about getting “Likes and Comments,” especially
if you are a hard core Facebook user, enthusiast, or addict!

Facebook keeps a count to let you know if your post is popular with lots of comments and likes or if it’s a snoozer that only your mother would like and comment on. By reading the examples of my status, posts, and updates, you will be able to tailor your own posts and acquire the art of winning friends and influencing people on Facebook.

 

Part I Frivolous, Fun, or Foolish
Chapter 1. Jerry Springer

Facebook can be as fun and interesting as you make it. Besides, it can be better than going to the movies, concert, or a sporting event. It is free! You can sit at home in your PJs and amuse yourself and others by being silly. I have learned not to take peoples’ posts too seriously. My rule of thumb, “take
everything on Facebook with a grain of salt.” I have done more than my fair share of kidding around and stretching the truth on Facebook. I am sure I am not alone in doing so! Lol! I enjoy pulling peoples’ legs so I decided to have some fun and post something outrageous just to see what the reaction would be.
