By the end of this post you will know and understand how to initiate contact with people all over social media.
Specifically we are going to learn with Facebook, but these concepts apply universally across different platforms
with minor adjustments.
The Who
First, before we begin it is important that you are clear as to who you are looking for. Generally it is going to be people in the online space or home business space, however depending on the program, opportunity or niche you are going to be looking for difference types of people.

Finding Your People
The other side of the who is figuring out who are the types of people that are going to gravitate
towards you, your message, and what you have to offer which is your solutions. Rememeber people
care about what benifits them.

What does it mean to contact people exactly?
To contact someone is to do a few things. First, like or react to a post or comment they made. Then, reply to the comment. At this point you can add the friend request when you have done back and fourth with the person in the thread. You can also follow people on facebook if their profile allows it.
Following people is good as you can still get updates from people.
These things dont have to be in any particular order, however I would do a like on some of their stuff and comment before you add the friend. If you just do it out of nowhere then most likely they will think its spam or not replay.
Once they have accepted your friend request then you can communicate with them in their messenger. This is the ultimate goal of this post to get them into the messenger feed.
On another not, get familiar with facebook messenger.
WHERE ARE THEY ON THE PLATFORM?
The goal here is to find people that you think are good prospects to contact. Do not overthink this as the goal is to contact as many people as possible (without over doing it to mess up you facebook account) in order to get into as many active conversations as you can.
There are 2 thign to think about.

Think of Niches is a specific area of interest that a particular group of people are interested in.
Here are the places to fine people on facebook
- Search
- Text Posts
- Video posts
- Image Posts
- social signals
- likes
- shares
- comments
- pages
- profiles |friends of friends
- follows
- newsfeed
- folks on ads
- Facebook Messenger
- Groups | a big one
- story videos
The above places you can fine people in order to contact people. This principle works generally the same btw on other forms of social media such as instagram, tik tok, twitter, and even youtube. There will be posts and trainings on those specific platforms down the road.
Ok So What are the steps?
I wouldn’t try to use all of these places at once. I would focus on groups, pages, social signals(likes. Then expand it to images and messenger and further once you get the hang of it. If you join enough groups and pages that are good with engagement you will have more then enough people to hit you goals and contact.
- Join Groups and Fan Pages that you are interested in and that you can bridge to the opportunity you may have. For instance if you have a product selling info that is designed to empower people when it comes to making money and being a better them then folks like Dean Graziozi, Tony Robbins, The Hip hop Preacher, Maria Forlio, and Les Brown would be great pages to go to as they all have good engagement. You want to join groups that talk about them and other success groups or quote groups.
- You then want to comment on posts and post yourself and look at posts people are engaging in recently.
- Click on the reaction to see people that have liked, loved, even hated, comments or the post itself.
- Go to that profile and see if its a profile that matches what you are doing or if they are active and it someone you might be able to build a relationship with. We are not doing rocket science you can tell in a few seconds of scrolling
- reply to their comment and like there comment. Try to create a back and fourth and pre rapport.
- Send them a friend request
- Wash rinse and repeat.
