Cover Photo Ideas for your Facebook Page

For those with a Facebook account — this post will be of interest to you.

Anyone who has a Facebook account knows by now that the Facebook gods have been making some changes... a brand-spanking-new profile page called a TIMELINE! Most of the Facebook population is weary.

By mistake I prematurely converted to the new Facebook Timeline back in January — my curiousity got the best of me. And to my detriment... I couldn't revert back to my original and most beloved profile page.

I had to find joy in my new Timeline. Then I discovered joy in the large and in charge COVER PHOTO. Instead of just one measly profile picture... I had a whole whopping cover photo.

Here is what my "Cover Photo & Profile Pic" combo looks like:

Mine is quite simple — visually appealing and pastelly pink (not my favourite colour but I do love that photo).

My curiousity continued and I checked out the profiles of friends who were also Timeline victims. I saw some cool stuff but I wanted to see more... so I hopped on over to Google to see what else I could find.

Here is a selection of the coolest, most innovated, extremely creative "Cover Photo & Profile Pic" combos that I found and some ideas for putting together a creative combo for yourself.

Cover Photo Idea #1:  Multiple photos of yourself

Cover Photo Idea #2: Add quirky graphics/illustrations

Cover Photo Idea #3: Become part of a larger picture

Cover Photo Idea #4: Market yourself

Cover Photo Idea #5: Or eventually you will be able to sell the space

These are just a few ideas of what can be done. The possibilities are endless.

I heard through the grapevine that everyone will have Timelines by the end of March. My message to the non-converts: SAVOUR the simplicity of your profile page but get EXCITED about the new and improved TIMELINE.
