1. Set Your Profile Picture
First is your profile picture. If it doesn’t look like someone who has value to offer, you may be denied. You carry greatness on the inside, let it show by how you project.
“It is recommended you use your image (Preferably Headshot) with your face on the profile picture space. When you use a group picture, you make it hard for new people to identify you easily and no one has the time to scan your page.”
2. Update Your Bio
Your bio, if it is inspiring and shows area(s) of expertise and your activities are in line with it. Chances are that you will get accepted.
“Gone are the days you will just write anything. I know you are a child of God, we all are, a child of God should have an area of expertise. Don’t keep it clumsy, make it as simple and clear as possible.”
3. Don't Lie about your Bio

Lies and over exaggeration; your bio and details do not correlate, it’s like saying you school in Harvard but you’ve never stepped out of your village or you said you’ve impacted 1 million people and all we see on your wall are casual pictures of your uncoordinated life activities in your locality with no pointer to what you said you are.
“It is not far from the truth, that fools always think everyone is foolish”
4. Make Meaningful Posts
I will scroll through to see the kind of posts you make, if it is a combination of junk with no guide and direction, I know once we become friends you will keep my timeline busy with junk. I need to protect my social space and mind from junk. If you follow inspiring people, you will be daily inspired and you need that to stay on course.
If all you do is share people’s posts and you hardly show up, no one will take you seriously. I will check if you’ve shown up to post something meaningful in the last 5-10 days. It is not bad to share other people’s posts, but I need to see that from time to time, something is coming from you as the fruit of your intellectual labour.
“If the only thing you do is change your profile picture once a year with no useful activities taking place on your page, I won’t accept.”
“Stop saying people are proud that is why they refused your friend request, it may be your cluelessness and ignorance that is keeping them away. You have what it takes to turn things around right now if you are willing and obedient.”
5. Stop Unnecessary Tagging
When you tag people now and then on irrelevant posts. You became friends with someone yesterday and you are already tagging them the next day. It shows a lack of maturity and desperation to be noticed. You are already friends, they should see you from time to time if you keep showing up.
6. Stop Posting Junks in People's Inbox

Don’t go into people’s inboxes and post junk, especially when you are just meeting someone, whatever you want them to see, post on your page. To you, it may be termed “direct marketing strategy” but to them, it is nothing but unexpected interruption and distraction, this is the easiest and fastest way to get blocked. Be careful not to lose the contact you might need tomorrow.

7. Stop Advertising In The Comment Session
If you are one of those who go to sell, prospect and advertise in the comment session under people’s posts, you should know that soon you will be blocked, and for those who share their page into another group for likes, calm down and build your page, stop embarrassing yourself and watering down your personality currency and corporate brand.
8.Be Intentional
Socializing must be intentional, if you want people to take you seriously, you must take yourself seriously. Social capital is key; making a calculated impression is not vanity, it is crucial to your economic survival and that is why you must be strategic in your approach. But in all of these, avoid desperation.
9.Stop Social Media Insult
“If you are perceived as a jobless person who argues under people’s comments or an unguarded person who talks anyhow all in the name of freedom of personal opinion in the public, you will be strategically avoided and soon, you will be reaping the fruits of self-victimization powered by ignorance and arrogance.”
