How To Promote Your Facebook Fan Page

By , on January 23rd, 2012%

Creating a Facebook Fan Page is the best way to promote your business through Facebook. And getting lots of ‘likes’ from Facebook fans is undeniably the only way for your Facebook page to be successful.

In order for your Facebook Fan Page campaign to be successful, you must be able to get lots of “Likes” from Facebook users.

A Facebook user who “Likes” your page officially becomes your fan, which is also equivalent to having them subscribe to your page. Once subscribed as a fan, these users can view all the updates, offers, services and any other information coming to-and-from your page. This makes informing people about the activities of your business much easier. 

Fans can share whatever they see from your Fan Page to their friends, opening up an opportunity for word-of-mouth marketing without spending lots of money.

But getting a lot of likes for your newly established Facebook Fan Page isn’t easy.

First of all, you do not have a lot of friends when you are just starting your page so promoting it through tagging and word of mouth is not an option.

Second, you don’t have a lot of content yet that would attract Facebook users to like your Fan Page. Because you are starting on a clean slate, acquiring Facebook fans will be a tedious task that might consume your time if you don’t have a solid working plan.

So, how do you get lots of likes? Here are several ways to promote your Facebook Fan Page:

  1. Using Facebook Ads.
  2. Promote your Fan page through social bookmarking websites.
  3. Upload a viral video in video sharing websites such as Youtube.
  4. Create an external promo page and link it to your Facebook Fan Page.
  5. Use an external website to promote your Facebook Page.
  6. Use article marketing to promote your Facebook Fan Page.
  7. Promote your page by using Facebook’s Social Plugins in your websites.
  8. Promote your Facebook Fan Page through the use of photo, video and name tagging.
  9. Purchase “Likes” from freelancers.
  10. Promote your Facebook Page in general information hubs such as Hubpages and Squidoo.
  11. Promote your Facebook Page in other social networking sites.
  12. Create your own shop inside Facebook.

Why You Need a Facebook Fan Page

By , on January 23rd, 2012%

Building your online presence around a popular social networking site such as Facebook is one of the most crucial strategies you can use for your online business.

Facebook is the best social network to  join to increase your business.

Remember, Facebook has more than 750 million active users that exchange billions of objects such as web links, stories, blog posts, photographs and videos every month.

Why you need a Facebook landing page to capture a stronger audience

The amount of traffic that you can give to your business by building a strong web presence in Facebook through Facebook Fan Pages will most likely spell the difference between your failure and your success.

Do have a Facebook page, but you’re not getting as many fans as quickly as you had hoped?

The answer is: you need  a Facebook Landing Page!

A Facebook page is like a web page. A Facebook landing page is a page that will come up for new visitors instead of your wall.

Why consider using a custom Welcome page?

A great Facebook design can make or break your success. Your Facebook business page needs to look professional. Creating a custom Welcome landing page in Facebook tells your visitors you take social media seriously. And they appreciate that. According to Mari Smith, visitors who visit your page and land on a custom Welcome page are 47% more likely to Like your page than if they just land on your Wall (which is only a 23% conversion to a Like).

Your landing page is very important for your business. Here’s why:

  • It can turn fans into customers by getting facebook likes.
  • It is an instant portal for constant engagement.
  • Your customers can receive instant updates.
  • A landing page is one of the most customizable elements of Facebook.

For your Facebook Fan Page campaign to be successful, you must get lots of “likes” from Facebook users. It is impossible to make money with your Facebook page if you don’t have people who follow (like) your page.

Creating a Facebook Fan Page is the best way to promote your business through Facebook and getting lots of ‘likes’ from Facebook fans is the only way for your Facebook page to be successful.

  • A Facebook user who ‘likes’ your page becomes your fan, which is also equivalent to having them subscribe to your page. Once subscribed as a fan, these users can view all the updates, offers, services and any other information coming to-and-from your page. This makes informing people about the activities of your business much easier.
  • Fans can share whatever they see from your Fan Page to their friends, opening up an opportunity for “word-of-mouth” marketing without spending lots of money.

Once they like your business page they are granted the ultimate access to everything your business is about. News, Information, and updates are all rewards for them making that “call to action” to like your business page.

Purpose

  • Create a great landing page. It is a social networking tool.
  • A landing page should be a Welcome from your company to you fans.
  • Make sure that your business page make your customers feel comfortable.
  • Your landing page should help your fans understand your business, develop their impression, and most importantly.. engage and interact. 
  • Give your potential customers a sense of how to perceive your business.

How to create a great Facebook fan page

  • Be creative when creating a landing page. Jump outside the box.
  • Make your landing page look good with attractive design and content. A professional, effective, captivating landing page is an excellent way for potential customers to take a double look.
  • Ask them to “Like” your page and click on the “Like” button at the top of the Facebook landing page.
  • Always include a prominent call to action.   A landing page can create a call to action to what exactly you want your customers to do and what you’re offering them!

What Should I Include on My Custom Facebook Welcome Page?

Facebook Advertising Tips

By , on November 7th, 2011%

Facebook ad Tips:

If you plan to advertise on Facebook, be aware that you might get turned down. Don’t get discouraged if your ad is disapproved. It happens frequently.

Factors that determine the approval of your ads include the ad copy, the landing page, and the topic you’re promoting.

To get your ads approved, avoid the following:

  • Don’t mention words like free, contest, etc.
  • Avoid dating and gambling ads.

Most of the time, the copy is the reason of being disapproved. But some people get disapproved although the ad copy is okay. In that case, you want to  look at your landing page.

Facebook may even disapprove legit ads. Change your ad, picture and if needed your landing page.

You landing page is important. Make sure that the site you’re linking to is a good site – not a spammy site. And you ou have to sync your call of action with your landing page.

To get the best conversion, send visitors to an opt in – not to your main offer.
