Facebook is one easy way to communicate with your friends, relatives or colleagues. It has so many useful features to offer and in order to use them, you need to have a Facebook account. To use Facebook you have to create a Facebook Account first.
Using a phone number to register yourself with Facebook is not a great idea. It is so because using a phone number to create a Facebook profile can put your personal information to risk. Others on Facebook will be able to obtain your phone number from your profile. Also, it will be easier to look for you on Facebook by just entering your phone number. So in order to protect yourself from privacy risk, a better thing will be to register yourself using an email address rather than a phone number.
Create A Facebook Account Using Email ID
Here are the steps that you need to apply to create a FB account without phone number:
- In any browser, go to the official website of Facebook i.e. facebook.com.
- On the sign-in page, click on ‘Create new account’.

How to Manage Your Facebook Profile?
Once you have your Facebook profile ready, you can start adorning it. No one would like to talk to a person without a profile picture or an empty bio. So make sure to fill up all the important details and make your profile interesting for others. However, to create an impression, never post anything that is not related to you or isn’t one of your accomplishments. Being genuine and honest is what will make you distinctive in this world where everyone is getting inclined towards forgery.
- Profile Picture- Post one of your selfies that you want to flaunt and this will also make it easier for your friends to recognize and reach you without a doubt. The plus point is, you can change them whenever you want.
- What About a Cover Picture?- A striking cover picture that shows your current mood or thoughts is the best way to spice up your profile a bit. Self-obsessed? Not an issue, just post another picture of yours.
- Look for Friends- Look for the friends who asked you to create a FB profile and add them to your friend list. If they are not showing up in the search result, you can use their email address to directly reach the targeted person.
- Keep it Private- Always have control over what you want to be open to the public and what has to keep private. Make sure to create the limitations in the beginning and not let anyone misuse your personal information. Social Media has to be played very carefully; you just can’t be an open book for anyone and everyone.
Several other options can enhance the look of your profile but talking about each one of them will easily eat up the entire day. So let’s just leave that for now and proceed towards other important things.
