Can Your Connections Find You on Facebook?

If you’re anything like me, you have a life that includes multiple email addresses. You have one (or more) for your business or job (or both!) and then you have your personal email accounts for family and friends.

When you signed up for Facebook you only had the option to choose a single email address while entering your information.  Having only ONE contact email listed on your Facebook account may have made it difficult for those using the “upload contacts to Facebook” feature to find you.

In fact, I bet you’ve received an email from Facebook inviting you to join on one of your other email accounts simply because someone was looking for you by that email, instead of the one on file with Facebook.

Help is on the way!

Did you know that you can place multiple contact emails into your Facebook settings so that you can more easily be found by connections!

How?  I’m glad you asked.

Simply go to Account Settings and click on “CHANGE” next to the Email setting. Next, you’ll ADD a new contact email.  (Note: you’ll be prompted to check your email for a confirmation link and you’ll be required to enter your Facebook password.)

Once you’re finished, make sure you go back into the Email option under Account Settings and choose the main email you wish your Facebook notifications to be sent to.  In my case, I chose the email that is pushed to my iPhone so that I can be on Facebook anywhere and anytime that I need.

Voila!  Now you can be found more easily.
