Making 5000 friends on Facebook

Ever felt that you need to explore, meet people, try new language, new culture, influence politics, get influenced by politics, well, Facebook could be that place where to make overseas friends to achieve all of this. In addition, we are not talking about a group or two, we talking of five thousand of such friends. It starts with the user adding a few acquaintances and then developing on this group of people to get to other and more people.

For adding new people:

Facebook has this utility “People You May Know” where you can find people with whom you have mutual friends and these ones the user should add first.

Going forward this way, the application “Find Friends” helps discover people based on hometown, city (location), high school, mutual friend, college or university, employer, university (postgraduate). Find people with whom you have mutual friends, the more the better.

One has to be consistent in sending friend requests and adding the people, do not be shy, times could be testing, but make a note of sending at least ten friend requests a day. If one is feeling, s/he could be sending five hundred requests on occasions.

Getting people to add you:

There several factors in which you can influence people to add you, like location, mutual friends, interests, common activities, political inclinations, etc.

Put on a profile picture that shows you socializing and avoid mug shots. Put on a picture with the opposite sex, whether it is family, friends, colleagues or batch mates, anything would work if your picture shows you smiling and in the company. If you cannot find opposite sex, it would be difficult to recognize you between you and your friend(s).

Support a political party, for example edit your profile picture to put on the icons to support political parties (Democrats, Republicans, individuals). Use your profile cover photo space to put on banner supporting a political party. Chances are people supporting the same party would add you before you add them.

Put in information about you in the Facebook profile, be genuine, do not brag and let public see it so they know whom they are adding.

Be expressive while putting content on Facebook put your articles, pictures, application scores, one-liners, notes, anything, but be social and expressive.
