    Technically speaking,you can't without their permission.
    You should ask for their permission to sent only the email they chose to receive else your email is not count as opt in

    If they added You I think it's OK. HOWEVER... You have to be sure they WANT to know about whatever you are selling. Otherwise it's untargeted traffic for You. It's like someone called You and asked if You wanted to buy an excelent book but written in Russian (assuming You're not Russian). So it even might be the greatest book in the world but if You don't speak and read russian You probably won't be interested. Or someone trying to sell You something like a Ferrari when You don't even have a drivers license. Most probably You wouldn't buy it! :)
    Click on my signature. I have 3 videos for You that might help You. It's free of course and it will save a lot of time! :) Hope this helps!!

    You can message them on msn if you like but I would be forwarned that people may see you as a spammer then and block you. Did they add you as a friend or for business purposes? There is a fine line between friends and business and crossing it can cause problems. I would forgo messaging them unless they added you specifically because of your business or product. You could casually bring up your product or website next time you talk to them, ask them to check it and out and tell you what they think otherwise.

    you can, but make sure that you do not spam them.
    and also, try to add people that have interest on those products you want to sell.
    It must be work!
