The best way to begin building a base on Facebook is by connecting with the
individuals you already know. Facebook prompts you to search for friends with
existing accounts by uploading your address book. There are three steps to this
process, but, for faster setup or to prevent Facebook from having access to your
address book, you can skip the first two steps. You are able to perform these
searches later, if you choose.
The third step in searching for friends prompts you to choose a network.
Networks are predetermined identification categories by college, geography, or
employer. Networks help new contacts find you and vice versa. You can opt not to
join any networks.
Tip: At a minimum, join the geographic network nearest to you. This allows
you to be recognized by people in your region.
Also, tell your friends, co-workers, family members, and ACT that you have
created a Facebook account and ask them to add you as a friend. Once you have
notified them, make sure to regularly check the “Inbox” area of your page to
approve friend requests. Nobody can be a part of your network until you approve
their friend requests.
When asking friends for their Facebook information, also ask them to alert
their friends to your profile and to encourage their friends to add you as a
friend as well. Your friends are likely to have Facebook friends who live in
your area, so encouraging their association with your Facebook profile gives you
an opportunity to recruit new members, donors, and volunteers.
Tip: Stay in touch with ACT! There are two ways: through our Group (receive
updates and the latest news) and our Page (you become a “fan”- a way to show
support).
