Now scroll down the page and click “Edit Settings” Button for “Public Search”. Now check the box “Enable Public Search”. - Secondly go to your Privacy Settings (Click Here) again and click “Edit Settings” for “How You Connect”. Then select “Everyone” from the drop down list for “Who can look you up using the email address or phone number you provided?” and click done.
That’s it, now log out of Facebook and open your profile’s link; it will show your Public Profile. A highly recommended suggestion to you is that you should always allow your blog readers or other Facebook users to subscribe to your public updates else there’s no use of a public profile. To allow subscribers subscribe to your profile simply check the “Allow Subscribers” box on this page.
