Messaging in Myspace,facebook, faceparty, etc.

"Hey I need a Favor could you enter your email at my website I'll add you to my top friends"

Something like that to get leads, ive been doing and hasn't been real successful. Does anyone know a very effect method to give out a message to these social networking people? Mostly teens anyways,

 

try build a facebook app

 

Have you tried joining groups and adding friends from there?

 

ye joining groups etc

 

Try building something of real value instead of trying to find a shortcut to success.

 

In general terms - NEVER ask for a favor.
Give people an incentive to help you - tell them what they get out of it first.

 

Create a brand identity so people can interact with your brand.... if they like it they will add you to favourites/visit your site/register

 

Don't just go around messaging random people, that deters anyone, especially teenagers. Start joining some groups in your niche market and do some posts, people will add you. It has worked for me plenty of times. Everytime I get a spam message like that I just ignore it and move on.

But watch out with facebook they can terminate your account for that kind of thing.
