Growing your Facebook fan page numbers can be a long old process. We’d all like to have a couple of thousand fans to our fan page but realistically although many bloggers do reach these kinds of numbers, you have to put in some good old elbow grease. Whilst your blog does help to increase your fan page numbers, there are other marketing methods you can use to help pucker up those faithful followers. Here are 6 effective ways to pump up and promote your Facebook fan page.
1. Get the widget out of here!
Adding your Facebook fan page widget to your website and blog are the first foremost steps in your Facebook promoting campaign. Click here to add a Facebook widget to your blog now.
2. URL
Your Facebook fan page URL is your ultimate weapon. Many online business and blog directories have a special box in which you can add this URL. You can also place your fan page URL in all your outgoing emails, replace your current URL listed in your Twitter account with your Facebook URL for a few months to build those numbers up. You should also add your URL to your business cards, letterheads and any online promotional products such as eBooks.
3. Social Media Marketing
Add your Facebook fan page URL to your other social media profiles. We’ve mentioned Twitter; you can also add it to your MySpace page, LinkedIn profile, Digg and your SWOM page. Connect your Facebook fan page to your Twitter account and so when you share a URL on your fan page feed wall, it is also tweeted automatically via Facebook in Twitter.
4. Article Marketing
One of the best ways to grow your Facebook fan page is by doing some article marketing. Write two or three good quality articles and submit it to the likes of Ezine Articles, ArticleBase and GoArticles.
5. Buy Fans…
There are also sites offering to sell you Facebook fans and likes for your specific industry or niche. Whilst I do recommend that you build your fan page numbers slowly and through your own marketing methods, this is a quick way to get your numbers up and growing. Use websites such as http://www.fanpagehookups.com or http://www.usocial.net
6. Facebook PPC Advertising
Last but not least, use Facebook’s PPC advertising program to promote your page, target specific audiences at specific times of the day or week even, to get the best result possible. I will be writing an article on getting the most out of your Facebook PPC advertising campaign in the coming weeks so keep checking back or add our RSS to your news reader to be kept informed. Enjoy for now and get your Facebook fans growing, be patient and they will come.
