There are shares but you have to find someone that owns some to buy from. Sometimes, if you're lucky, your broker will have an inventory because of his clients and may be willing to trade over the counter with you. There are websites specializing in trading shares of private companies, sharespost.com comes to mind and they do have Zynga shares but sharespost requires members to have a net worth over $1 million not including the primary residence. Of course common trash like penny stocks are just the inventory the brokerages would love to unload on you as penny stocks often get kicked off the public exchanges at some point in time leaving the brokerages with OTC as the only way to shed their inventory. As to advice on penny stocks, stay away from them, they lack liquidity, the company's often lack a decent business model, and it's difficult to research the companies. People often perceive the low share prices as limiting their downside and being a low barrier to entry but in fact it represents a higher frictional cost in transactions.

You can have the firm place an order for the stock when it hits the secondary market. No member of the selling group would ever give their allotment of stock to a "Newbie" or and amateur. Allocations go to those that are willing to participate in all the company's selling activities for new issues, the good along with the bad ones.
