There’s a lot to Mafia Wars, but one of the most important things you want to do is grow your Mafia. Without having a large group of other players to use in Mafia Wars, you will have a difficult time getting resources and trying to complete the jobs necessary for you to stay on top. By following these three simple, but very effective tips, you will be able to expand your mafia and take control, all without spending one Godfather Point.
1. Networking on Facebook
Facebook and MySpace are already huge social networks and if you have a few hundred friends, use them. Send out invitations to everyone on your friend list to join your mafia, regardless of how well you know them (steer clear of your co-workers and boss though if you have work connections). Most people will just say yes and if they already have their account, they’ll reciprocate. Don’t waste time by not using the tools already in front of you.
2. Forums and Chatrooms
Alternately, you can find plenty of social venues where you can discuss the game and find people willing to swap places with you in each other’s mafias. This is a prime way to start building up your mafia size without having to spend any additional points or make new friends. You don’t need to stay social to keep you mafia size up, so just find a few people willing to take the rewards you give them and you should be good.
3. Blogging and Craigslist
If you have a blog or are well known somewhere, use that prestige to gather new members. A simple note on your blog about needing new family members will often times take care of the problem all by itself. Alternately, you can post an ad on Craigslist and ask people to join up (it does actually work). Just make sure you don’t give away any personal information until you have checked out the people who reply.
By using all the free resources provided free on the internet, you can increase your position in Mafia Wars to a full family of 500 quickly with very little effort. You might not believe it now, but you too can be one of those top level players in a matter of weeks. Check out Mafia Wars Blueprint for more great strategies.
