7 Tips for Getting More Facebook LIKES

Tips for Getting More Facebook "Likes"

Boost Facebook "likes" with this surefire advice.

When it comes to Facebook business pages, if you build it, they probably will not come, no matter how much you hope that "likes” will magically appear. You must lure people to your Facebook page and encourage them to "like” it if you want to build a significant following. Here are 7 tips and tricks that will help you get more Facebook "likes”, sans the blood, sweat, tears, and paid ads.  

1. Embed the Facebook Like Box on your site
The Like Box widget is one of many Facebook Social Plugins that you can place on your website or blog. The Like Box displays the number of likes that your Facebook page has, as well as your page’s current stream and a selection of fans. Encourage visitors to click "like” by including a call-to-action above the Like Box.

2. Invite your clients, friends, and email newsletter subscribers
Send out an invitation to "like” your page to all of your email newsletter subscribers, as well as your clients, friends, customers, etc. Provide them with a description of your Facebook page and give them an incentive to join, if possible.

3.  Continually update your Facebook page with new content
The more content there is on your Facebook page, the more content that your fans will have to interact with. High engagement levels are vital to the growth of your Facebook page, so constantly update your page with interesting content. One effective way to get fans involved with your Facebook page is by posting questions instead of statements because people love to give their point of view.

4.  Run a contest/promotion
Run a contest/promotion off of your Facebook page (the promotional guidelines for running contests on your Facebook page are somewhat strict). Require Facebook users to "like” your page in order to enter the contest.

5.    Put your Facebook page’s URL everywhere
Include your Facebook page’s URL in your email signature, forum signatures, business cards, press releases, LinkedIn profile, and Twitter background. 

6.    Tag your fans and other Facebook pages on your status updates
Get the attention of your fans’ friends by tagging your fans in your status updates. When you tag your fans in your status updates, you show up on their wall and their friends can see that you’ve tagged them. To tag someone, however, that person has to be your personal Facebook friend. You can also tag other Facebook pages if you’re a personal fan. Simply type the "@” symbol and then the name of your friend or the fan page you want to tag when posting a status update.

7.    Link your Twitter account to your Facebook page
Link your Twitter account to your Facebook so that the content you post on Facebook is automatically posted to your Twitter account. Doing so will encourage your Twitter followers to visit and "like” your Facebook page. Just keep in mind that tweets are limited to 140 characters, so Facebook will truncate your post past a certain character account and then add a bit.ly link that leads back to your Facebook page.
