Facebook Lowering The BOOM on “5000 friends”

Facebook are currently playing with a new terms of service (the rules by which you are allowed to use the site)

Normally a snore fest BUT for Internet Marketers - (or specifically those that encourage you to "friend" as many people as possible for "networking")

THIS IS A GOOD THING!!!!!!

It's just sad that the so called Facebook Marketing crowd are leading their flock into a massive brick wall.

Here is what you should be doing.

1. Unfriend every single person you don't personally know

2. set-up a facebook Page stat - This is the real tragedy of these so called Facebook experts - by getting people to build their profile - they have built a sand castle that will be swept out with the tide of the new TOS

People who have been following me have known that I have put all my effort into Facebook Pages since they came out

It was OBVIOUS!

(in fact Day 14 in the FREE Thirty Day Challenge will show you how to do this, and of course we have awesome FREE how to get started on FACEBOOK the RIGHT way lessons in Pre-season training on the Thirty Day Challenge)

Let's see how many of these so called experts fess up, admit their mistake and start teaching people the right way to use Facebook!!
