Getting People to Like Your Facebook Page

It is not difficult to open a Facebook account and decorate it. What is tougher is to make it likable. It takes time to make your page popular. However, there are certain calculative steps that you need to take in order to make people love your Facebook page. Some of these steps are simple while some of them need more planning.

• Offering Registration -The First Step:In order to start liking your Facebook page, people would need to experience the various services that you offer. They should believe that they are doing the right thing by liking your page. So, update your site at regular intervals as this will give your would-be fans something new every time they visit. It is advised that you should either provide a specific service or try to address a desire of the visitors through your pages. This will encourage them to register and in time hit the “like” button.
• Create Attractive Content:You would benefit if you can concentrate on the content of your Facebook page. Make them unique and appealing to your targeted visitors. It is a good idea to spend some time in research and find out the kind of content that you can upload on Facebook. Thus, your visitors will know what to expect from your site. Once you have tickled their curiosity, you can rest assured that they will love to visit your pages quite often. Apart from written contents, uploading videos and audios may also help. Providing a Feedback form is another good idea. This will not only encourage people to communicate but also tell you what your customers want.
• Incentives for Fans:You would also benefit if you give some incentives to your most loyal fans. You can advertise about these in the Facebook page. The incentives may include discounts on selected services or products. You may even like to give away some merchandise once your fans’ tally reaches a certain number.
• Special Information for Users:Why not give your users and fans some hints about your next product? You would find the relevant application of Facebook pretty useful in this regard as this will keep the users interested. When you really launch the product, they will come to your site for more information. Some provide exclusive scoops to the users and keep them updated with what goes behind the scene.
• Variety is the Spice:If you can bring variety to your site through your products, content and presentation, you will definitely make people sit up and take note. The element of surprise works quite well on the internet. You should avoid stagnation at any cost. You may like to introduce some games where the users would have to guess your next product or they get a chance to send a campaign concept. These are helpful in keeping the customers involved. After all, the products are meant to serve them.
• Create Groups to Influence:You will need to establish contacts with people who like your business and appreciate your vision. Seek their help to refer your site or business to their friends and families. Thus, you will increase your page visitors and the chance of being liked.

Use these tips to help your Facebook page get more fans.

Re: Are you going to use Facebook Timeline? - Hi apu, I Recently used Facebook Timelines, actually it seems like a Facebook blog which makes profile page more attractive but i don't think it will help in internet marketing because it also slow the speed of Facebook Page. Share your Experience!
Facebook Fan Pages - I have a Facebook Fan Page for my business, Solo-E.com. But my efforts at really getting it going (getting new fans, promoting discussion/interaction, etc.) have been, I'll admit, half-hearted. The biggest reason? I hardly ever visit the fan pages of other solo entrepreneurs, even those that I hugely admire. How about you? Do you regularly visit fan pages? What draws you to them, if you do visit? If you do have a Fan Page, what has your experience been with making it successful? How do you even measure that success??
Re: Facebook -- personal vs. business? - [quote="DaveGilbert":p04ea6ji]Facebook use to be a good resource however they have clouded the sites usefulness by allowing too many games on there, these days it is more of a gamers forum than a social site or a business venue[/quote:p04ea6ji] Dave, I think it may depend on who your Facebook Friends are. I have plenty of friends who seem to game...but they don't post it on their profile (or at least it doesn't appear in my newsfeed). However they do generate useful business discussions on Facebook that I participate in. Not advertising or even as formal as a blog (which are already quite informal, in my opinion, compared to articles for instance), but business mixed with the personal discussion that I, as a solopreneur, find useful. [quote="Mal Tindle":p04ea6ji]If I could go back to Facebook and register separately I would do it but as you say I don't think that is possible.[/quote:p04ea6ji] Mal, You *can* create a fan page for your business, separately from your personal profile. I know many folks who have both and direct business folks to their page, myself included. They also have had success driving traffic to their fan page with Facebook Page Ads; and from there driving fans to their blog, etc. No formal study, just my anecdotal observations...
Page Rank Changes - Hi Kevin - there is a lot of speculation as to why so many websites lost Page Rank. A few new sites that I've been following also got Page Rank for the first time. Every time Google does a Page Rank update there are websites that get caught in the crossfire and have to work to get their rankings back up!
Re: Facebook Advertising? - [quote="Mal Tindle":25hdpg8a] One slight query I have is that when I want to place an ad or update the site etc I get a pop up that I am not allowed to do it on this page, I have to switch to "myself" to do this then come back. Is this right as it seems a bit counter productive to have to keep switching to 'Mal Tindle' then back to the business site, hmmmm, [/quote:25hdpg8a] Hi Mal - when you're on your Page, go to Edit Page (top right), click on Your Settings, and check off the first box - mine says "Always comment and post on your page as EvanCarmichael.com, even when using Facebook as Evan Carmichael." This way you don't have to keep switching back. Good luck! I'm glad you were able to get set up so quickly!
