Here’s an interesting - if rather sleazy - idea in the event that you try to do a ton of self-promoting on Facebook: rather than waste weeks or months building up a solid fan base, just buy friends from a business known as uSocial.
All right - we can’t, in all honesty, recommend that you embrace this option. But it’s available if you want it. A press release announced today, “uSocial.net — the company who recently began selling followers on Twitter — has just launched a new suite of services for Facebook, enabling people to purchase friends and fans depending on their needs.”
Packages start at $177.30 for 1,000 friends or fans. You can buy 5,000 or 10,000 contacts at a time, too, if you want.
The idea is that you’ll be able to turn these people into customers of some sort, thereby recouping your investment and profiting, too. Buyer beware (and we mean you, not them). Yet presumably at least a couple of folks have had success doing this, or uSocial wouldn’t be in business.
And at least now, if you don’t bite and a competitor suddenly gets a gazillion friends, you’ll know what happened and not have reason to be jealous.
