How To Add a Lot of Friends on Facebook

Facebook is a widely known social networking site that allows you to connect with your friends and family. The idea of being able to regularly communicate and see updates from them, especially those that are living far away from you, makes social networking sites enticing for a lot of people. Even if you live miles away from each other, you can still catch up on what’s happening in their lives with photos, videos and other posts that can be shared with your contacts.
Facebook is such a user-friendly Website that will allow you to be able to add a lot of friends to your profile. Apart from being able to send invites to your friends’ email addresses, Facebook also allows you to import your friends’ email addresses, direct from the address book of your web email like Hotmail, Gmail, AOL or Yahoo, or from your email application like Outlook or Apple Mail. When you invite friends with this method, they receive an email inviting them to join and add you on Facebook so that you can view and share information with each other. Aside from inviting friends via email, you can also manually search for your friends. Facebook, again, makes it a lot easier for you to do so, as there is another way of searching for people you know aside from typing each of their names one by one. Facebook allows you to custom search people from your network. You can filter your search by location, by school or by workplace. The filter search by school also allows you to search people on a specific class year. Another cool method of finding friends in Facebook is by importing your AOL Instant Messenger Buddy List and Windows Live Messenger contacts.

Apart from being able to reconnect with old friends and family members you have not seen for a long time, Facebook also gives you the opportunity to meet new people. You don’t call it a networking site for nothing. So how can you actually add a lot of friends on Facebook? You can network based on your hobbies and interests. There are different groups and fan pages that you can join to meet new people. A wide range of groups and fan pages, from business, to Internet and technology, to entertainment and arts, to sports and recreation, basically almost anything and everything, can be found in Facebook. You can even create your own group or fan page if you want so that you can gather people who share the same ideas and interests as yours. Networking with lots of people might come in handy, especially if you are to start your own online retail shop, or something similar.

Lastly, promoting your Facebook profile is also possible with Facebook’s Profile Badge. With the Profile Badge, you can gain more friends especially if they see your Profile Badge on your other Websites. You can post it on Websites like Blogger, TypePad, or other Websites by copying the Profile Badge code and pasting it to your other profiles.

With numerous methods for you to add friends, who knows maybe in a week or two you already have more that 500 friends on your Facebook account. So start your Facebook networking now!
