Here’s how to turn on the
Follow button on your personal profile: Click the down arrow in the upper-right corner of Facebook. A drop-down menu appears. Select Settings. Click Followers on the left sidebar.
Select Everybody from the drop-down menu next to the Who Can Follow Me section.
Adjust the settings to your liking for Follower Comments and Notifications.
Enabling the Follow button is optional. You can enjoy a profile and share with only friends and family; you don’t have to turn on the Follow button.
But a profile’s Follow system offers these benefits:After someone follows you, that person sees your Public updates in their News Feed. People may also discover your profile through the People to Follow box on the right side of their News Feed or through their friends’ News Feed stories.
Followers can share your Public posts, which broadcasts your post and profile to a larger audience.
You can have an unlimited number of followers (no more 5,000-friend limit).
You're still able to block potential followers by adjusting your Privacy Settings Block List.
You can connect with people on Facebook who prefer subscribing to a business page to liking it.
When your Follow button is open, anyone who requests to be your friend automatically becomes a follower unless you block them. You know they’re getting your public updates; you don’t have to friend them unless you want to also get their updates.
When you unfriend someone, they remain a follower unless you block them.
You can unfollow a friend. You are still friends, but you do not receive their updates in your News Feed.
Personal profiles get more exposure in the News Feed due to Facebook’s News Feed algorithm. You have a better chance of being seen if you’re also using your personal profile to post about your business.
