So You Want the Elusive Blue Tick, Eh? A Guide for the Glory-Hungry (and Slightly Delusional)
Ah, the blue tick. The holy grail of Facebook. The tiny badge that separates the wheat from the chaff, the Kardashians from...well, your aunt Mildred who keeps sharing minion memes. It screams "I'm important," "People actually know who I am," and let's be honest, "Look at me, I'm verified!"
But my friend, the path to verification is fraught with peril. It's a jungle out there, and only the most determined (or delusional) will survive. Buckle up, because we're about to embark on a hilarious journey (mostly at your expense) to unlock the secrets of the blue tick.

| How To Get Blue Tick Verified On Facebook |
Step 1: Become Important (or at least pretend to be)
This is the big one, the Mount Everest of Facebook verification. Facebook isn't handing out blue ticks like candy (well, not unless you're Kylie Jenner giving birth to a melon...allegedly). You need to be a public figure, a brand with global recognition, or basically someone who isn't your neighbor's cat.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
- Are you a celebrity? Perfect! People are already searching for you online.
- Are you a politician? As long as you haven't gotten caught saying something embarrassing on video (looking at you, Uncle Steve), you might be in the clear.
- Are you the world's leading expert on competitive thumb-twiddling? Well, that's a niche, but maybe not verification-worthy.
Pro Tip: Inflating your follower count with your grandma's account and your pet goldfish doesn't count. Facebook's got algorithms for that sort of thing, and let's just say they're smarter than your average goldfish.
Step 2: Craft the Perfect Profile (Because Looks Matter)
Imagine your Facebook profile as your online resume for importance. Is it filled with blurry vacation photos and questionable song lyrics? Time for a makeover!
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
-
Profile Pic: Make it clear, well-lit, and professional (unless you're a comedian, then maybe a goofy one works).
-
Bio: Craft a bio that screams "I am important and have things to say!" No emojis, no inspirational quotes about dreams (we've all heard them).
-
Content: Share interesting, engaging stuff. You know, the kind of content that makes people think, "Wow, this person is way cooler than me!" But avoid the overly staged, #blessed humblebrags. We can all see through those.
Remember: You're not here to document your breakfast cereal. You're here to curate an image of importance.
Step 3: Prepare for the Verification Inquisition (and Maybe Pack Some Snacks)
Facebook's verification process is shrouded in mystery. It's like trying to decipher the ending of Lost. But fear not, intrepid explorer! Here's what we know (or at least suspect):
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
- There's a form: It involves uploading proof of your identity and those all-important news articles that solidify your claim to fame.
- Be patient: Verification requests can take weeks, months, or even longer. Don't pester Facebook, they'll get to you...eventually.
Pro Tip: While you wait, try manifesting your verification with the power of positive thinking. Just sit quietly and picture that blue tick glowing next to your name. Totally works. (Maybe.)
Step 4: So You Got Verified...Now What?
Congratulations! You've conquered the Facebook jungle and emerged victorious, blue tick proudly displayed. Now what?
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
- Don't let the blue tick go to your head: Remember, it's just a badge. Real importance comes from your actions and the impact you have on the world (or at least your follower count).
- Use your power for good: Spread awareness, fight for social justice, or at least post some truly hilarious memes. The world needs more laughter.
And lastly, remember: Even without a blue tick, you're amazing! So keep doing your thing, and maybe, just maybe, Facebook will recognize your awesomeness someday. But hey, if not, there's always Instagram verification. Wait, what are their requirements again?
