See Who's Following You
If you've allowed people to follow you, you can see a list of your followers by going to your profile, clicking Friends below your cover photo and then clicking Followers. If you don't have any followers, you won't see this option.
Note: If you let people who aren't your friends follow you, people who send friend requests that you ignore or delete will automatically start following you. If you don't want someone to follow you, you can block them at any time.
When you post something to your Timeline, set your in-line privacy control for the post as Public. This will share your update with the people who follow you and allow anyone to view the post.
