How to Invite All of Your Facebook Friends to Like Your Facebook Page

Like you, I have struggled when creating a Facebook page to invite my entire friend list (of around 1,500 people) to like my page.  Until this morning, I was forced to sit around and click every single name on my invite list individually until I reach the very end.  If you’re like me, this makes trying to invite all of your friends to like your Facebook page incredibly aggravating.


Invite Your Facebook Friends to Like Your Facebook Page at Once


While Facebook has not provided you an easy way to invite all of your friends to like your Facebook page at once, likely to reduce the annoyance, they have however left themselves open to a bit of “invite hacking” by entering the code provided below that will allow you to easily invite everyone on your friends list with just a bit of effort.


Copy and Paste the code shown below, you will use it during this process:


var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input"); for (var i=0; i < inputs.length; i++) { if (inputs[i].getAttribute('type') == 'checkbox') { inputs[i].click(); } }

  1. facebook-fanpage-invite-friendsIf you don’t have Google Chrome, download it ASAP as it is required for this process

  2. Login to Facebook, ensure you are using facebook under your Personal Profile and not your Facebook page

  3. Navigate to Build Audience > Invite Friends

  4. Change the dropdown display from Recent Interactions too Search All Friends

  5. Scroll through your entire list of friends until you reach the bottom (this makes sure ALL of your friends are loaded)

  6. Once at the bottom of the list, press CRTL+SHIFT+J on your keyboard

  7. On the DevTools panel that you just opened, click the far right tab labeled Console

  8. Paste the code above this list into the command line

  9. Press Enter, your list of friends should now all have check marks by their names

  10. Click submit and you’ve just invited your entire friends list to like your facebook page

From what I’ve seen, you can also complete this process using Firefox, and instead of pressing CTRL+SHIFT+J press CTRL+SHIFT+K and follow the same process.
