There can be no denying that Facebook has become a great addiction. Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus are arguably the top three social media sites that every blogger is busy on right now.
And even though the Twitter and Google + have millions of users and are deemed fabulous lead generation tools, there really is no other network as powerful and effective as Facebook. You will certainly feel lonely and desolate if your friends had no Facebook accounts.
That is precisely the reason why every business and every blog must have a Facebook fan page. If you have not yet created one for your blog, you are losing out on high levels of engagement with your targeted traffic.
There are several reasons why people might decide your Facebook page is not worth a visit. If that is the case, you must fix the problem as you can ill-afford to be negligent with Facebook.
Assuming you do not have the Likes, the situation is indeed critical. Likes are undoubtedly the key ingredient that you need in order to convince people to follow you.
To get more people liking you, you need to have Likes in the first place. Experts suggest that building your fan base from 0 to 100 Likes is tougher than crossing say 500 fans once you have gotten those first 100 likes.
As a first step, spread the word around that you are on Facebook. Insert a fan page box under your posts. This will do the trick as this way they work as a call to action. You ask people to like you on Facebook to stay in touch – if they have enjoyed reading your blog/article.
Make it a point to share your Facebook posts on Twitter. People will first be directed to your fan page, giving you the chance to get some of your Twitter followers to click “Like”
Do not hesitate to promote your fan page on Twitter once or even twice a week. You simply suggest to people “Enjoying my tweets? You might want to take a look at my Facebook page!” This method is said to be highly rewarding.
It will be worthwhile writing an article about Facebook and the great opportunities it provides. Let people know you have started working on getting Facebook traffic and promoting your fan page.
In your post you can offer readers reasons why they should be on Facebook. Tell them about your own page and reveal some of the clever techniques you are following.
