Facebook has become one of the most popular social networking sites in the world. With over 1 billion active users, it’s no wonder that people are looking for ways to make their Facebook pages stand out from the rest. One way to do this is by adding eye-catching backgrounds or large stickers to your page. Here are a few tips on how to create Facebook statuses with these backgrounds or stickers:
- Start by choosing a background that will add interest and personality to your Facebook page. For example, if you want your page to look like a fun and exciting adventure story, choose a colorful and exciting background such as an erupting volcano or an action-packed chase scene.
- Next, decide on the size of your sticker. Make sure that the sticker is large enough so that it can be seen easily by everyone on your page, but not so large that it becomes too distracting or obtrusive.
- Finally, add the text of your Facebook status message using a catchy and memorable phrase. For example, if you want your page to look like an exciting new adventure storybook, you might choose “The journey begins!” or “The end is near!”
If you’ve been on Facebook recently, you’ve probably noticed that statuses are starting to look a lot more… colorful. While you’ve been able to add photos, emotions and activities for a while, now you can go even further. What once would have been a regular text update might now look something like this.
Or even like this.
So let’s look at how to make your posts as big and bold.
I’m using the Facebook website for this, but the process is much the same on mobile devices. It’s also worth noting that Facebook rolls out features at a different pace to different parts of the world. If you can’t follow along, it might be because this particular feature isn’t available where you are yet.
Open Facebook and click anywhere on the Create a Post dialog box at the top of your News Feed.
You’ll see a row of colored circles appear below where it says “Write Something Here”.
These are what let you pick a colored background for your post. Select the color you want…
…and then write your message.
To use a colored background, your message has to be fairly short. If it’s longer than a few sentences, it will just go back to a normal update.
If you want to use an icon instead of a background color, click Sticker below the status dialog box. There’s no word limit.
Select the mood you want, or just use the search bar, to find an appropriate sticker. I’ve gone with Happy.
Pick the Sticker you want and it will appear above the text in your post.
If you’re not satisfied with the Stickers available, you can add more. Go back to the stickers menu.
Click the + icon in the top right to get to the Sticker Store.
Here you can find countless more Stickers to use. The vast majority of them are available for Free.
When you’re finished with your update, whether you’ve gone with a colorful background or a Sticker, just click Post to share it on your Timeline.
Facebook has always look more utilitarian than most other social networks. Things like colored backgrounds and Stickers are a nice way to add a bit of personality to your posts, and make them stand out more in other people’s news feeds.
