How to activate followers on facebook

This teaches you how to see a list of the people who follow your Facebook page's public posts. The "Followers" section is notoriously difficult to find and open, but by enabling following for your page, viewing the profiles that you follow, and then refreshing your browser, you should be able to see a list of people who follow you. You will need to perform this process on a computer.

Viewing Your Followers

   Make sure that you're following at least one person. In order for the Following tab to appear in your "Friends" page, you'll need to be following at least one person.
