In a recent case study we purchased 10,000 Facebook fan nvites from a supposedly reputable online supplier, when I say recent I mean almost 4 weeks ago. In another case study at the same time we purchased a smaller number of fan invites, around 500 to be exact from a second supplier and to be honest we were pretty stunned with the outcome of it, and that it is, it simply doesn’t work.

What?!!!

With the 500 invites purchased from BulkFans.com we received 54 fans, with the 10,000 invites purchased from FanPageHookup.com we received wait for it… 13 fans. Hmmm, I can’t explain the outcome of this however baring in mind that we purchased none targeted invites so more or less we didn’t really expect thousands of fans in return, but a few hundred perhaps to say the least would have been good considering we spend around $80.

Some Facebook marketing service sites offer the choice of buying targeted fans and they actually state that they can guarantee the number of fans or likes you purchase. Can anybody tell me exactly how the hell this happens because I don’t believe that there is any way or form that you can actually make someone become a fan of your page, so my personal feeling on this subject is that it simply doesn’t work.

My advice is to save your hard earned cash and don’t believe the hype! You simply won’t be making a good investment. You can potentially grow your fans using a well planned and affective internet marketing strategy which I will be putting together in the next few weeks.
