So what's the secret? I can't reveal all of Brian's secrets in this short article - he created a 3 1/2 hour video training program to explain everything. But what I can tell you is this:



You're going to need to build up a network of contacts. Your own friends list is a good place to start. Facebook doesn't like it if you go too fast, so stick to 20 to 30 invitations a day. You'll find plenty of people who share your interests by searching for relevant groups and looking through their members.

It's important to send a personal message to everyone you invite. People are more likely to confirm your request if you let them know that you share a common interest. If it's someone whose name you recognise, tell them so!

The best way to get friends is by having people invite you to become their friend. You do this by being visible - and being sociable - posting comments, photos and videos on your friends' profiles, for example. That person's friends see what you've posted, and hopefully ask you to be their friend as well.

The next step is to create your own group, and eventually a number of groups. Groups are made up of people who share a common interest. You can only send messages to groups with 1200 people or fewer, so you'll need to change your group from 'public' to 'private' once you have more than 1000 members or so.

All the people in your groups as well as all your friends form your network of contacts. Ultimately, you want to get people to sign up for your newsletter, so that you can contact them without going through Facebook.
