For years I struggled with Facebook's 5000 friend limit. 

 

Whenever I came across someone new that I wanted to add as a friend, I couldn't do it. 

 

And new requests couldn't come through either since I was maxed out. 

 

The platform doesn't make it easy to free up spots, and although I had ways to open up a few spaces here or there, that wasn't good enough. 

 

"Use a third party tool", you say? 

 

I was hesitant to do that since I've heard horror stories of people who used them and lost 2000 or more friends/clients/customers by mistake in one fell swoop. 

 

So what's a guy to do? 

 

Well I recently I stumbled across a way to purge my Facebook and freed up 1000 spots (without losing anyone I didn't want to lose). 

 

That purge allowed me to bring fresh blood in, and I've connected with some cool new folks and have noticed a positive impact on engagement since then. 

 

If Facebook is an important part of your business, my suggestion is to purge yours every so often to keep it as robust as possible ...

 

Since so many people don't know how to safely do that, I'm going to go over it in the November issue of Secret Coach Club. 

 

By following my process step-by-step, you won't feel like pulling your hair out if you're at (or close to) the 5000 friends limit, and you should see an uptick on the action happening. 

 

The deadline to get the issue is Thursday night, and you can get your paws on it here:
