    Hey there, I am using facebook along with many others on social networking media's and I personally find it difficult to add friends on facebook for my business. My business comprises of Digital freelance artworks and internet marketing. What methods and resources would you use to find targetted people on a business/networking relation?

    Just my thought - maybe you should turn more attention to SEO to let customers find you

    I would probably look to use LinkedIn more for this reason, and set up a fan page for your business on Facebook.

    Getting fans can easily be outsourced and if your website has high traffic, you have FB like box, then there are no time consuming activities involved to get fans

    I think you can start with using a fan page in your business. A fan page can be customized according to your needs and preferences *I guess premium account is needed for this feature*. You can create good business fan page profile there and place remarkable logo. Then you can start sharing posts or updates regarding the brands. And also, I agree with onlinemlmclassifieds that it is easier to gather fans than of friends. Then later on when you have great number of fans, you can start inviting friends for you business. :)

    you must use Facebook advertisement for this purpose.by using Facebook ads you really get targeted users.
    you cannot add too much friends for business purpose as Facebook not allow to add unknowns.you must create a fan page and then advertise through Facebook ads..

    Its pretty tough nowadays to promote your business on facebook. First of all you should create a facebook fan page and invite your friends to like this page. Once you reach handsome amount of friends promote your business with the help of facebook advert.

    Adding friends is harder and harder. Facebook simply doesn't let you do it and you might even have your account suspended. Although FB let's you transform a personal account into a page (since not very long), it's better to start directly with a fan page. And, as someone else already said it, FB ads are the easiest and most efficient method to get targeted fans, and they don't cost so much.
    Good luck!
