How to convert your Facebook profile to a Facebook page

Sometimes, as a starter you may create a individual profile instead of a page for your business so as to connect to as much as people you desire. On Facebook, you will find a lot of businesses and organizations who are still using a Facebook profile instead of a page. It is nothing against the Facebook rules but, they are missing everything which a page has to provide. And once you reach out to a lot of people, it is a really good idea to convert your profile to a business page with which you can instantly notify your fans about events, discounts and special offers, see to how many people your post reached, the stats about people like from which area they are and of which gender and age group they belong.

So let's find out how to do it!

Step 1- Log in to your personal account.

Step 2- Go to account settings and tap on ‘Download a copy’ option.


Step 3- Then, click on ‘Start My Archive’ option and again click on ‘Start My Archive’ option which you will find on the pop-up window and then click ‘Okay’.

Depending on the days that it has to download, it will take a bit of time to download this copy. Once the downloading process is completed, you will receive an email confirming that the download is completed.

Step 4- Click on the link which was provided to you along with the email and again click on the ‘Download a copy’ option.

Step 5- You will be asked to re-enter your Facebook profile password to continue. Hence, enter your password and click on the ‘Continue’ option.

Step 6- Now, click on the ‘Download Archive’ option which will appear on your screen to start downloading your data. Store this data somewhere safe!

Step 7- Then, go to help center and search for ‘convert profile to page.‘ Here, you will find a topic which says ‘how to convert my profile to a page’. Tap on the link which says ‘begin here’.

Step 8- You will now be directed to the pages section. Here you can choose what kind of page you want to convert your profile into.

Alternative Method:

Simply goto this page.

Once you choose the page to which you want to convert your profile into, enter the required details and check the, I agree on box and click on ‘get started.’ To confirm the migration, enter the password of your profile and click on ‘Confirm’. Then, enter the security text and click on ‘Submit.’ Then you can enter the ‘about’ column as it is optional.

So that's how we do it. Thanks.

How to download files from Dropbox and Google Drive using IDM?

First of all let me tell you that the title of this article should be "How to download files from Dropbox  and Google Drive using IDM or any other download manager ?" Ever wondered if you could download gigantic files with pause and resume support with your favorite download manager. Generally, download managers can't do that because they have not cookies, unlike browsers. But as you know, there's always a way. Downloading drom Dropbox: 1. Mark the address bar. 2.Copy the URL to the clipboard. 3. Add the URL to your download manager (Here I'm using Tonec IDM). You should seethe link starting with " https://www.. ." 4. Replace that with "dl", viz. your link " https://www .dropbox.com/s/3fo8409jtcfz1nh/Adobe%20Dreamweaver%20CC%202015_x64bit.rar?dl=0" will be now  " dl ..dropbox.com/s/3fo8409jtcfz1nh/Adobe%20Dreamweaver%20CC%202015_x64bit.rar?dl=0" 5.

New fraud WhatsApp message misguiding people to get them free data on Jio

A message telling users to "upgrade their services" has gone viral on popular social instant messaging platform WhatsApp. As you can clearly see the actual URL of the site is http://upgrademyjioservice.blogspot.in/, just a blog , which is not associated with Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited in anyway. And at the bottom of the message, you can see the hood-winker has used URL shortening service TINYCC  to beguile people. On clicking the link you will land on the blog Looking at the address bar, it's a Blogspot site. It will tell you to download an app (in APK) and install it. And mark the unnecessary permissions required for the app too. Think about it. If it's really from Jio and an official offer, then why wouldn't it be in Play Store? Why wouldn't it not be advertised on MyJio app? MyJio is the self-care application by Jio facilitating  users to manage their Jio Account and Digital Services associated with it.

How to make unresumable downloads resumable?

While downloading from some sites you must have seen the links going expired. Some download manager also have a "Refresh Download Link" feature to solve that. However it doesn't work in all cases. So to clinch that issue, you can download those files to your cloud drive and download those from it itself. There is no time limit in downloading from cloud drives and you can easily take the advantage of pause and resume features. I'm going to use Google Drive and MultCloud here. However there are many other sites you can get by just googling it. First of all get the link of the file to be downloaded​. Goto MultCloud (you have to create an account) add the URL, it will be saved to your Google Drive. Now it's all done. You can simply download the file with no hassle from your cloud storage without bothering about expiration of link or time limit. There's another feature of MultCloud, some sites even restrict your download speed to few KB/s, by using it you can d...
