When you send friend requests on social networks, it's important to introduce yourself, just like you would if you were meeting in person.
Most networks have a space in their friend invitation window to "add a personal message." Tell the other person who you are and why you want to connect. What interests do you share in common? If you know something specific about the person, say so. For example, "I'm a book marketing coach and I really enjoyed your article about selling on Amazon."
Remember, social networking isn't about trying to collect as many contacts as you can. It's about meeting and developing relationships with people who share common interests. Inviting friends the right way will increase your chances of making those connections.
