IntroductionOne of Facebook’s best qualities is the ability to connect with old friends, as well as the ease of making new ones.
It probably sounds very easy – just friend request 5,000 people, right?
Unfortunately in this regard, it isn’t MySpace! This guide will help you genuinely max out your friends list, connecting with people all over the world.

Things To Know
- It has become incredibly easy for Facebook to ‘limit’ you sending mass amounts of friend requests, including restricting this feature completely: banning you from adding friends for 3 days, 2 weeks or one month (I strongly suggest keeping friend requests to no more than 20 per day)
- Be aware of the ‘friends’ you are adding – don’t be surprised if you’re female and get regularly asked for nudes.
- The more friends you have, the higher the chance of something you post being reported – think before you post and limit pornography, racist remarks, personal nudity and other offensive content.

How Do I Do It?
I would start with making yourself as appealing as possible, giving people a reason to add you! Update your profile with relevant information, a good looking profile picture, and post status updates that you know people are going to like (i.e quotes from The Simpsons are always a good one, as silly as it sounds).

I would avoid display pictures that are stolen, irrelevant or basically pin you as a ‘fake’ account – even though you may not be one, you may come across that way.

Way One: Find People You Already Know1. Login to your Facebook account
2. Go to the left-hand side of your news feed/home page
3. Click ‘Find Friends’

5. Login to Your Selected Mail Provider
(I’ll be using Hotmail/Windows Live for this example)

6. Follow the prompts!

Way Two: Meeting New People1. Login to Facebook
2. Go to the top search bar and hunt around for ‘adding’ groups

3. Click the group you’re interested in, and look at the top right hand side for a ‘Request to Join’ button
4. Send a request – depending on the group, you could be automatically approved membership or you may need to wait for an admin’s approval.
Tip: Search wisely! Enter keywords such as: ‘adding’, ‘add’, ‘add me’, ‘friends’, ‘new friends’, ‘massive adds’, ‘aussie adds’, etc!
5. Join as many as you can find – the more members, the better!

SocialNetworkingTricks.com has its own adding group, located at:

http://www.facebook.com/groups/xsocialfriendsx/

6. Make a post. Post a picture of yourself, a joke, the reason why you want so many friends, ‘LMS (like my status)and I’ll add you’ or simply ‘Add me :)’
Many admins can get a little ‘ban happy’, so read their rules and try to behave!

Do this for long enough, gain a reputation within the group and wait for the friend requests to come on in! Alternatively, you could create your own group if you don’t like any that you see!
