In this tutorial, I'm going to show you
0:01
how you can change your personal
0:03
Facebook account into a page that people
0:05
can follow. So, if the 5,000 friend
0:08
limit is too small for you and you are
0:10
receiving a lot of friend requests, the
0:12
best thing to do is to switch to
0:13
professional mode. When you switch to
0:15
professional mode, more people will be
0:17
able to start following you without you
0:19
having to open a new account or a new
0:21
page. So, to convert your personal
0:23
account into a page that people can
0:25
follow, it is quite simple. If you find
0:27
this video helpful, I'll kindly request
0:29

0:33
To get started, just head over to your
0:36
profile icon on top here and then tap on
0:38
it to open. Under this, go ahead and tap
0:41
on your name. And now here you'll be
0:43
able to see your profile. Under this,
0:46
tap on these ellipses or three dots
0:48
here. And now this will open your
0:50
profile settings. Under this, if you
0:52
scroll down now, you can see we have
0:54
this option called turn on professional
0:57
mode. And this is the feature we are
0:58
going to use to turn this personal
1:00
Facebook account into a page that people
1:02
can start following. So go ahead and tap
1:05
on it. And under this you see turn on
1:08
professional mode. Go ahead and tap on
1:10
turn on. And now tap on next. And then
1:13
next. And now here you have to choose
1:15
your default audience. So if you want
1:18
more people to go ahead and follow your
1:20
page and be able to see what you're
1:22
sharing, you can just go ahead and tap
1:23
on public, this is the best so as to
1:26
reach a wider audience. And then go
1:28
ahead and tap on next and then confirm
1:31
your choice by tapping on confirm. And
1:34
look at that, your default audience on
1:35
Facebook has been updated to public.
1:38
Great. So proceed again. Now this will
1:40
take us to monetization tools. So don't
1:43
worry, you not monetize your page at
1:44
this time. If you don't want or if you
1:46
don't qualify, just proceed and tap on
1:49
next and then next. And here we have an
1:52
option to skip this. And now we are told
1:55
go to professional dashboard. As you can
1:57
see, congrats. You are ready to start
2:00
using professional mode. So my personal
2:02
Facebook account has now been turned to
2:04
professional mode. If I tap to go to
2:07
professional dashboard, you will be able
2:09
to monitor your challenges and your
2:11
achievements here. Now, if we go back to
2:14
our profile now, look here. This was the
2:16
original profile. I only had five
2:18
friends and these were from friend
2:20
requests that I had. But you like to see
2:23
this as a page. So, if I go ahead and
2:25
refresh now look at the change, it has
2:28
turned now into followers. Now, I have
2:30
eight followers and 61 following. And
2:33
look at the account. It is a
2:34
professional account. That's why I have
2:36
a professional dashboard here. So from
2:38
now hence forth, people will only need
2:40
to follow you without having to send a
2:42
friend request. So that's how you turn
2:44
your personal Facebook account into a
2:46
page that people can follow. If you
2:48
