You're not going to believe this!

A funny thing happened while I was sleeping.

Facebook grew to a humongous size: 100 million users. That's 100,000,000. Quite impressive, even by my standards.

I'm just wondering, Why are so many people sitting at home and interacting on Facebook? Is everybody under house arrest?

Maybe there's something I'm not getting.

Now, I failed to notice the phenomenal growth of Facebook not because I was in a coma, but because I was so busy on Linkedin trying to build my private army of career/business allies. I currently have nearly 1,000 connections. (I invested time into building a BIG network, just in case size matters. Hey, you never know. Women are very unpredictable.)

So now, I'm on Facebook and I have, like, less than 100 friends. Okay, I have 38. Now, you know the truth. It's embarrassing, seriously. This could severely damage my reputation.

Some of my friends have HUNDREDS of friends. This is incredible. I'm happy for them and yet, that makes me look so bad, so... unpopular! How can they do this to me?!

Being a competitive person by nature, I've decided to improve my social performance. I've decided to enter this popularity contest and make as many friends as possible.

For this to happen, I will have to "relax" my criteria for accepting someone as a friend. From now on, if you don't have a criminal record, that's good enough for me. You can be my friend. No questions asked. No strings attached.

To sweeten the deal, I'll even throw in a big bonus: FREE subscription to this Facebook Insider newsletter, where I'll release the instructional materials developed at Talentelle over the last 2 years and a half. This material costs thousands of dollars. You get it FREE.

This highly original material will teach you how to design and develop your ideal career, based on your passion and talent. You'll be so happy at work that your boss will wonder what he's doing wrong.

It will also teach you how to design your business venture so it becomes a money-machine that makes you so rich that you lose your sense of humanity. Just kidding.

Why am I giving away all this stuff without charging you a penny? Because I'm desperate. And desperate men do crazy things. Exploit me while you can.

Look, I'm willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES (except drugs and square dancing) to make as many friends as possible on Facebook.

This will improve my social standing and eventually restore my battered self-esteem.

To subscribe to this exclusive Facebook Insider newsletter and get all the instructional materials for FREE (yup, that's three easy installments of $0.00, $0.00 and $0.00), please enter your email in the subscription box appearing on this page.

I look forward to helping you, charming you and even bribing you if I have to.

Please be my Facebook friend. Help me restore my good reputation online.
