How I Plan on Making Money With Facebook

Just a note: I have gone to China for a business internship, and won't be back until mid August. With me luck! I am fairly sure that I will not be able to access my blog while I am over there - blogs are for the most part banned.

At first glimpse Facebook appears to be a tough place to access users – after all, the only information Facebook provides about their users is whatever users are willing to give up – which often is as little as possible. Over the past year, Facebook has continued to develop their application platform which has been an effective way for advertisers and users to click.

However, if you’re reading my blog, you’re probably not in dire need of basic marketing tips. If you have the money it is entirely possible that Facebook will do most of the marketing work for you – they know their website best. As I have found, it is entirely possible to market on Facebook with no money and little knowledge of who your customers are.

These tactics may not be entirely effective, but they are worth a try. I will also say that the tactics I am trying with Facebook are in a moral grey area.

I have noticed, in discussion with friends of mine who use the service, that an overwhelming amount of men randomly add women. They simply flock to the search feature to find attractive women and add, then message them. Therefore, I see no fault in taking advantage of this as an invitation to be advertised to.

If you were to create a facebook account with an attractive – but believable display picture, and join a few networks, you should be able to have several people add you every week. If you make several of these accounts, you will have an even larger and ever increasing pile of contacts.

Unlike email, people who are contacted over facebook read everything sent to them. I am going to experiment, once I have my lists in place, of trying to refer my ‘contacts’ to websites using affiliate links, and see what happens. This is just a theory at the moment, but I like the fact that it’s a free of investment method of creating a list of people to advertise to.

According to many marketers who have tried to use Facebook’s advertising platform, it isn’t the most rewarding, and only works as a way to build an identity as a company. With the potential Facebook has, I’m going to try something new.

I will keep you all posted if it does or does not work – and I’d love to hear what you think.

I'm not going to add anybody myself. If the people add me themselves then I may consider offering them a product. I don't think any harm is done. I dont usually market this way, but I like trying new ideas. I agree this is a bit sketchy. I want to just see if it works.
Old trick of fooling Horny men on Internet, you can do this every where you can find a lot of horny men :)

You are absolute scum. I am reporting this blog entry to facebook. How DARE you use the service to SPAM people?
Hahaha, wow people make me laugh sometimes...

How morally wrong is this when you look at the editorial coverage big corporations get about their services and products in national papers - Reporters telling readers to buy a certain product, usually because the sales department just got a big cheque off of them. I really don't see the moral difference.

Marketing is about selling a product or service - if this accomplishes that then why not do it?

You think the guys adding good looking girls are only doing it because they want to chat? Get real... Why not give them links to a service when they *can* hook up with girls?
While you're at it, why not make fake posts on Craigslist, then email people with an affiliate link who respond? This is SPAM. Not making any moral judgments but you are messing with the law.
Not sure how shoppy guys trying to hook up with girls are. I can only assume you're selling porn. Adsense might work better with this. Let us know how it turns out.
