Evil Viral Facebook Trick

Personally, I never used Facebook to push a product or service, but I think I should strongly consider start using them because it's becoming to be a huge business trend these days.

I'm still waiting for a flood of facebook bots to launch just like they did with myspace.

Facebook can be very powerful tool for generating free traffic and money.

I have not used facebook to drive traffic yet but it could happen in the near future.

I would like to know how can i place my application to facebook?

How can i post my own web application at facebook?
It sounds good adea, once implemented.

I have not used facebook. Have not gotten the hang of all this social marketing yet. :evil: :neutral: I want to learn more so off I go to study..

Scriptlance is indeed a very good place to find freelancers do "bulk jobs" at low prices. I say this from experience, since I used to work for a while on Scriptlance and lost some projects I bid on to some "cheap" guy. oh well, most buyers on SL seem not to care about quality (or at least, when they pick someone, they don't) - just if the price is low enough for their budget. Anyway, Facebook is indeed a huge network, with a great potential to promote stuff.

Nice - I am currently trying to find ways to use Facebook to help with my ventures.

A lot of apps are spam machines - don't use much

Havn't signed up at facebook yet but if it drives traffic i will sure do.

Thanks for mentioning john.

So...what's the evil trick exactly? Promote your site using a facebook app?

I have noticed a very interesting phenomenon with Facebook: It is virtually impossible to find one person between the ages of 15-40 in North America that has not heard of Facebook.com.

The phenomenon is that in that same demographic you will find it equally as difficult to find a single person that you personally know of that has made a single dollar through the website Facebook. (And I am talk about money that facebook actually sends you, NOT through self promotion through the site i.e. emailing old friends to generate new business.)

Does anyone smell an opportunity?

I think a lot of people are overlooking the fact that most of the Facebook users are college kids. College kids tend to not have extra money to spend on ebooks and affiliate programs - any extra income goes to beer on the weekends!

I personally can't stand all the cluttered pages filled with all sorts of applications and whatnot. But then again, I certainly see a lot people with them on their pages. Just because it's something I don't like, doesn't mean it won't work.

I most admit..I have... some would maybe call it spam, but I call it promoting myself :)
My own group, sending requests to all my friends, update the group with the latest news..haven't found any rss feed for groups yet though..so manually feeds is my thing for now :)

Wow, great post, we will have to use this method. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Sounds a lot like some of the Myspace techniques used a few years ago. History is repeating itself.

Facebook is a possible social network to market on, but Myspace is much better. If you are looking to market that way I would consider getting a friend adding software that enables you to send 200-400 friend requests a day. A good one that you can have multiple accounts on and lasts forever costs about $60 and standard ones go for $20.

FaceBook and other social networking sites in general has become the main tool for promoting new sites for many people. I have seen well known figures on the internet use them, abuse them whatever you say to market new sites. And it works, as per the traffic stats.

I think this facebook thing is a great idea. Nice post John :)

I actually really enjoy Facebook, but I haven't used it for any commercial purposes. It's interesting how different Facebook and MySpace are. When I was on MySpace, I would accept friend invitations from anybody, and I would get 10+ per day that I didn't know. Facebook is the exact opposite. Everyone on my friends list I'm actually friends with, and I've never gotten a spammy friend request. It's a far superior social networking site, in my opinion.

Just my 2 cents from a university student/original Facebook'er - Applications seem gaudy and annoying to me, and are more of a hindrance than a help. People sending spam invites to your profile gets very annoying, and it is rare that I will actually add an application. This is just my opinion however, I would be interested to know if this application works out for you.

I haven't been onto the whole Facebook thing yet. I guess it's time to get on that bandwagon as well.

Hmmm not sure why using Facebook to promote one's site is considered evil....but no I haven't used Facebook yet. :???:

Good idea though!
