Best answer so far. But as to the original question, I've got a feeling that your account will be restricted before you get anywhere near 5000 friends in 7 days.
There cannot be easy way out to get 5000 friends, because most of the FACEBOOK users only allow their friends to join them and not the marketers. So if you do not spend time developing relationships you will always have short of friends. With marketing tricks its only the other marketers who would be interested in accepting requests from you and there you will hardly get any benefit.
A simple tip is use the principal that sex sells. Use a picture of a hot woman as your profile picture. Depends on what type of friends you want but this always boost the male friends requests on facebook account for me. Cant say ever got 5000 friends in a couple of days. Normally takes a few weeks to hit the limit if you work it well from personal experience
I don't think it'll be an wise decision to add a bunch of friends at once. You should move up slowly. You can participate on various FB games and send request to people to join with you. Maintain the regularity of using FB and keep requesting to people.
If you keep randomly adding people you really don't know. You WILL keep getting warnings and possibly banned. If you want more than 5000 friends , then set up a second account with a different email addy(same name is ok). I have a bud that has 3 max. accounts in a few months 15,000 friends and most the target group he wanted. Can be done. Games are easy to get friends on as most gamers depend on it to grow and expand in their games.
why would you? um, add random ppl from your friend list or ask everyone from your friend list to suggest you 10 each or 20.
It's not to be done quickly, join as much popular group as you can & post message something like "please add me". On that way you will get more friend requests.
i have 2 facebok accounts. and both off them have 5000 friends.. now tell me what should i do ... pls some one guide me .. i wanna get LIke for my FAcebook pages.. how i can get with these 10000 peoples
Getting 5000 friends in facebook is not impossible but the process should not be rushed or you will end up with a banned account. Try getting into more groups, liking more pages, mingling with more people and they will add you up naturally. I am not sure how long it will take though. Rain
I suggest you to add 10 friends per day. But after those friends approval you should send next request.
