A feature few people use is the “Lists” feature for your friends.

This can only be accessed on a computer, not your phone, as of now.

You can categorize your Friends into lists, and then it is much easier to check in, as well as make custom status updates that can only be seen by the friends/lists who you want it shown to.

I actually spent 4 hours one day sorting ALL of my friends into lists and it was SO worth it.

Once you create lists, you can add people in as you accept their friend requests.

Another simple way to start this creating and adding people to friends lists is to check your birthday list each day.

Go into each person’s profile and determine how you know them and create/add to the appropriate list.

This will keep it simple for you. It will take 365 days, but think how fast a year goes!!!

Once you have done that, Your friends will show up and a link at the top to Create List. You may already see some pre-set lists based on common interests such as your high school, college, previous employers, pages you like, etc.

Create lists as you want them and then you can go in and add your friends to lists. They can be added to more than one list.

You want to create your Circle of Influence List; that top 100-250 people who will use and or refer you, or provide referrals.

Or. who you hope will!

I have a hometown friend’s list, airline friends from my days there, as well as Network Marketing. Direct Sales, Internet Marketing, California, cities I have lived in, Real Estate and activities I enjoy, and so on.

Now, as you are interacting on Facebook, you can check in on your newsfeed and interact, and then go into each of the Friend’s lists just by clicking on them off to the left on your home page.

Scroll through and stay connected with more than just what Facebook wants you to see! 

This is one way you can hijack the Facebook Algorithm and keep your content in the newsfeed of more people!
