5 Ways to Gather Fans on Facebook

We all know that Facebook is the hottest fad right now. Is it going to be around in 5 years? You never know because I look at how fast Myspace took a tumble. This doesn’t mean that Facebook won’t follow,   but the point here is that you market where the people are and today, it is definitely a place like Facebook.
I don’t care what kind of business you run online or offline, there are people out there that want to check out your products, as well as become a fan. As long as you’re offering something of value, you can gather up fans on your fan page via Facebook. This is a fantastic way to promote to people.
Below are some tips that you can follow when you’re looking to gather up some fans with your Facebook page. The more fans you get, the better it’s going to be for your business because not only can you reach out to them all the time, you can keep them up to date on what’s happening in your world.

1. Offer something worth value: No one wants to join a spammy looking site. If you’re in it just for the money, you’re probably not going to get a lot of people to join. Create something of value and the people should come. 
2. Advertise via Facebook: I gathered up a lot of fans via the Facebook ads. Instead of advertising my site URL, I decided to advertise my fan page. I would target those that would be interested in the product. You’re going to want to tweak your ads and find the one that fits.
3. Put a widget on your site: The best thing that I did was put a “like” widget on my site. Right away, I gathered about 100 fans. Today, I consistently net around 20-30 fans per week. As more people join, you’re going to find that their friends will see your fan page in their recommendations box. 
4. Ask friends and family: Be careful with this one because you don’t want to spam your friends and family on your personal account, but every couple months, just let them know about your Facebook page and tell them how much you would appreciate it if they joined 
5. Create a contest: People eat up contests and if you hold one that is worth joining, you’re going to find that you’re going to get fans galore. It’s a great way to gather up new fans and as long as your contest isn’t extravagant, you should get a nice return on your investment.

I’ve found the fan pages to be more like a snowball. The more fans you gather, the more that will come. It’s going to take time, so don’t expect 200,000 fans over night. Once you do get a nice fan base, be sure to follow the Facebook TOS because you may find that if you post affiliate links, or something they don’t like, they can shut you down in an instance.
