Become a social media powerhouse in one week (phase 4)

Phase 4 of 5
In this installment, we’ll be setting up the rest of your online social media presence. After you managed these sites for a while and your confidence grows, you’ll want to go through and add more customization to each. And if you want to get really sophisticated, you can design each in such a way as to use a similar color scheme, profile language and image of you so that they have a consistent theme throughout. You’ll also want to include links to the each of the other sites from every site so people can interact with you in different ways, or at least the way of their choosing. In a future blog post, we’ll get you set up with your YouTube account. Happy socializing!

4. Setting up Facebook and LinkedIn
4.1. Go to www.facebook.com
4.2. Complete the mini form right on the home page and then “Sign Up”
4.3. Give yourself at least two hours for the next step.
4.4. There are no specific instructions here, complete as much information about yourself as you can, then have fun uploading photos of yourself, searching for friends, and interacting with whatever you find here. Facebook has a very friendly user interface, so you can confidently interact and know what’s going on at all times.
4.6. Click the Applications tab in the bottom left corner
4.7. Click "Browse more Applications" at the bottom of the list
4.8. Search for the "Twitter" application and add it
4.9. Add in your Twitter login and password, and hit "Submit"
4.10. Now when you go to Twitter and update your status, it will update your status on Facebook as well.
4.11. When you’ve had enough of Facebook, go to www.linkedin.com
4.12. Complete the form on the right side of the page and click “Join Now”
4.13. Once in, you can spend about an hour building and tweaking your profile here. You’ll want a nice head shot of yourself, you can build your profile out very similar to your resume.
4.14. After you feel you have completed everything here, search for some coworkers by company name or people you know.
4.15. From your home page, click the “Applications” link
4.16. You can search for and add any number of widgets to your page, and the first ones I recommend are the Twitter application that will feed your tweets to your profile page and the BlogLink application that will do the same for your blog posts.
