Problem: You can’t send a message out to more than 20 people at one time. How do you send a message to hundreds of people?
Answer: Create facebook group page and add all the hundreds of people to your group. Use “Message All Members” function.
Here’s the rough steps if you dont understand above answer:
1. Identify facebook groups that are relevant to your target audience. Ex: In my case, I am promoting a dawah site, so I look for facebook groups related to dawah like Fans of Ahmad Deedat or generally Islamic like university Muslim Student Associations.
2. Search for the above facebook groups, then click on members. It will pull up list of members of that group/fan page. Add each name to your friends list. This is tedious work, but doesn’t require concentration or mental energy. You could be listening to e-books, watching TV or listening to the Quran while doing this.
3. Keep searching for other relevant groups and keep adding people till facebook tells you’ve reached your limit.
4. After a few days, you should have at least a couple hundred people in your friends list. Now go to Profile > Info > Click See All under Groups title. Setup a facebook group for whatever you are doing.
5. Click on Friends, then Create New List. Add everybody to your list.
6. Go to your group page and select invite people to join. From there, find Filter Friends and select your custom list. Click select all.
7. To send mass message, go to your group page and select Message All Members.
