How to Explode Your Facebook Fan Page
- 1). Invite your friends to "Like" the page, and encourage any other admins of the page to do the same. On the right hand side of the page, click "Suggest to friends" to invite your personal Facebook friends to "Like" your page.
- 2). Set up a "Like Box" on your website, to capture people who may visit your website but don't yet know you have a Facebook page. You can easily create a personalized "Like Box" by visiting the Facebook Developers "Like Box" page. There you'll be able to generate a code that you can then insert into the HTML code of your website.
- 3). Provide a link in your next newsletter or email blast. Many businesses send out regular updates to their mailing lists; take advantage of all those contacts to invite them to "like" your page. Copy the URL for your page into the body of your next email and encourage people to click on it. If you use a newsletter service, you may also be able to insert the "Like Box" you created for your website in your newsletter template.
- 4). Hold a giveaway or prize drawing to encourage new followers. Post on your Twitter account, website and in your newsletter that by "liking" your page, people will be entered into a drawing for a big prize when you reach a desired number of fans. Depending on the products you sell at your business, you could also offer a coupon or a free product for anyone who "likes" your page.
- 5). Post signs at your place of business that encourage people to "like" your page. Make sure the signs clearly show the URL for your Facebook page.
