It’s quite an easy task for everybody to create a Facebook page, also known as fan page. Most of the people are creating it to promote their business via Facebook.
When you are getting involved to attract more people to your business via Facebook, it will seem to be an easy job like its making. Everybody cannot convince the people easily for getting likes, it’s simply like an art to make the current members engaged and thereby attracting more from their connections.
There are already millions of page owners who are craving for fans or people to like their pages. Sometimes many of you think that those who are getting a huge number of fans in a small amount of time are with the fake accounts; it will not be true in all cases. They are definitely following some strategies to increase the count.
Here are some tips to build a Facebook page with a good number of fans.
Landing Page
Facebook allows you to show something completely different to those who are already your fans and completely different things to those who aren’t. I think you have got the impression of what I’m talking about, the custom landing page.
It plays an important role in converting visitors to your fans, if you have a look at some of the successful Facebook pages then you are able to find out that they all have some attractive and engaging landing pages for the people who visit for the first time on the page and it’ll definitely help you to convert him/her into real fans.
So, better create an awesome landing page to make your visitor’s stay tuned without bouncing back to some other pages.
Your Blog
One of best source to get loyal fans for your Facebook page is to play effectively with your blog. First you have to do is just place the Facebook page widget in a position where your readers can easily find; most of the professional bloggers prefer the sidebar.
Next is, to update the Facebook page when you post an article, there are already a lot of applications available to perform this task automatically with the content feed else you can do it manually with custom headings instead of your post titles. Next important thing is whenever you update your blog, do it with relevant set of information.
Facebook Ads
Using Facebook ads is another way and which is considered as the easiest and effective way to get a fair amount of Facebook fans. You can see that there are lots of people started to run ads again and again to receive more likes for their Facebook pages only because of the better results they had experienced in the past. So why not spend a small amount to see that whether it works for you or not, I’m quite sure that it will definitely work for you like a magical charm.
One thing you should remember is that, this is a paid method, so better try it once you have a well established and profitable business.
Running Contests
Running contests is an another way that you can use to get Facebook fans in a rapid manner. It’s just like the giveaways for promoting blogs. Run a special contest for the members and offer some exciting prizes to the winners, they will definitely share about it on their Facebook wall, which will attract their friends also to join as a member and increase the contest popularity.

These are all great suggestions. Contests are a great way to mass-market your goods and services because they attract people and they spread very quickly around the social network! One can also simply work on placing “like” buttons in convenient and visible places on the main website, since “thumbing up” a page is an easy and quick way to show approval and interest. 🙂
I can understand that facebook fan can boost my business but it looks very cheep to ask people to like my link etc. If my business has charm then people will surely rush towards me i concerned to enrich business power not asking people:(
Not only will running Facebook Ads increase your fan page numbers, but if you have done the right amount of competitive research, you can target your potential customers directly. Gotta Love That!
Jimmy,
thanks for the helpful information. Have the FB widget on our blog, but will now look at updating our FB page automatically after making a blog post.
Coming to the idea of buying likes from the exchange sites I would like to say that it is useless. These sites are good for nothing, Initially you will get thousands of likes but those people will not be interested in you and whatever you are sharing and soon they will start unliking your page.
Nice article.
I think we should use facebook advertising for unique facebook fans and if we want to get increase fans count then we can go for fake likes which are providing by some websites
I am highly against buying “likes,” it makes no sense except to the person selling them to you. The best way to get likes is to attract people to your page through quality work that will encourage sharing to other people who have similar interests.
Hey, thanks for sharing this. People takes more interest in Fan Page if our page’s content is informative, interesting, and beneficial for others. Promotion/ Giveaways are very effective method to increase our Facebook Fan Page. By this people get attracted, takes more interest in our Page.
Although Facebook has remove the feature of welcome landing page but still i have very catchy fan page cover which attracts users attention and they click on like button.
I agree that contests play a very major role in promotions. May it be for Blog Posts, or Social Media’s. They grab the attention of people and with their share their friends also jump into the participation. It then becomes a circle of sharing in which your page gets continuously promoted! 🙂
