People are always asking me how I made 5,000 Facebook friends and the answer is very simple. I’ll give you all the details later in the post…… for now, I would like to focus on why some businesses can’t build 5,000 Facebook friends.Why Can’t you Make 5,000 Facebook FriendsOne of the main reasons is that many people wishing to grow their business online using Facebook, simply don’t realise there is a process involved.  What people do is they take it for granted that people will want to be their friend.
