Me vs. Facebook- Looking for PR Team

Dear Facebook,
If you were a person I’d heckle you. All of my hard work you destroyed. My 50 minutes of adding random people to my list is gone. I want my 50 minutes back. You disabled my account because in your opinion I was “Spamming too much.” But I disagree. I was not spamming too much, I was spamming just the right amount. What you call spam, I call dawah. You are a kaafir, and I call you to the oneness of Allah.
Love,
Shirien

For all of you who want to use Facebook as a marketing tool, don’t try to add 100 people to your list in one day. Me and Facebook had our odds before. I’ve always hated it and it hates me. I had to start anew by creating a new account again for the public relations work for Leechon.
Anyway, I’m looking for as many people as possible willing to help me with some of the PR work. (this is pretty effortless work, so don’t think I’ll be asking you to do something hard or time consuming) If you support Leechon Films and (preferably) if you already have an account with Facebook or YouTube or Myspace, then you can either leave a message in the comments section saying you can help me or email me at media @ leechon.com or add me (Shirien Elamawy) to your Facebook friends list and send me a message.
So who’s going to help me?
(and no, I didn’t actually send that message :D)

haha–nice touch of the “love”
how about creating a leechon fb group? that’s one way to legitimize your “spamming”

Ahmed, Jazak Allah khair you’ll be getting an email soon inshaAllah.
Ihssan, the video i put up unfortunately is not up anymore because along with my account the video also vanished lol grrr. But here is the post you’re looking for , inshaAllah : http://www.leechonfilms.com/driving-your-dawah-with-power-and-sincerity-355.htm
HK, lol yeah you know you can’t be too hard when giving dawah, you have to balance :). We created the Tufaan group. However, even that they gave me a warning with haha. they dont like that you send the same message to more than like 10 people because they consider it spamming, and if you add too many people in one day they think that’s also spam. I think it’s cuz they’re hicks.
Belal, it’s your call though, if you want me to make a Leechon group too, then let me know.
Speaking of Dawah though, You know when you suggested that I create my “To catch a hick…”series? Well in filming some of that I decided to go a different route, I’m basically going to broaden it to Dawah in general, live dawah action, some hicks are involved too.. and in fact I made a trailer just for you
It’s called Dawah Whoas:

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmitullahi wa barakatuh Br. Bilal, Jazak Allah khair, let us know when it’s up and running inshaAllah. sounds great. but sounds like it’s going to need a lot of promotion. May Allah make it easy on you and make you successful, ameen.
Good news everyone, facebook accepted my call to Islam :P. I’ve successfully done over 300 friends requests today without a peep from them haha. Victory!
Actually apparently when I created my new account, now when you send a friends request you have to type in those little words that sometimes i cant get.(to avoid real spam) seriously, why didnt they think of that before?

Asalam alaikum,
I was having similar issue but with adding people who requested to be ali’s friend. Due to too many people on his friend list (5000) facebook will not let you add more then that for personal facebook account. But if it was group account, then its ok. I used to get the same warning! when I sent messages to people stating that I am not able to add them. So what I used to do is wait for 24 hours and try again. But that was a risk so I stopped doing that. So now either add or delete if facebook dose not let me.

Yusuf, do you know anything about Facebook Pages? I’m still learning the ropes, and I have some audio that I’m downloading right now about marketing on facebook, but i know it’s not a group nor is it a regular profile, so i was wondering how it’s basically used.(or if anyone else knows).. When I’m done with the audio i’ll let you know and give you tips since we already work together.
Jazakum Allahu khairun for those who’ve replied and sent me messages and emails saying they’d be willing to help….. If anyone else is willing to help hit me up inshaAllah i’d love to network with you all and work with you.

– “We are not making business but Dawah”
Unless you’re running a charity, I don’t see why you can’t make the dawah the business.
Bilal Says: 26.03.08 at 2:53 pm
Asalaam Alykum wrwb my dear brother AlBaraa (Belal).
We are not running any charity bro…
But the money (if) we earn from our website will be use to other dawah project .. Insahalla’Allah
Jazakallah khair, Ma’Salaam.
