TOP 8 WAYS TO GET FACEBOOK PAGE LIKES

Invite Friends 1Let your friends and the people in your life know about your Page. Your friends who Like your Page add instant credibility to your Page. They are quick to share your News Feed posts to their own network of Facebook friends. Your friends can get your Page to go viral.

HOW TO INVITE FRIENDS?

To invite your friends to like your Page, you must be using Facebook as yourself and not as your Page. Once you're using Facebook as yourself, you can invite your friends to like your Page. From your Page: •  Click Build Audience at the top of your Page •  Select Invite Friends •  Click Search All Friends to select a list or type a friend's name in

the search box •  Click Invite next to the friends you want to invite

Import Contacts 2Why not invite your business contacts, industry colleagues, or employees to Like your Page? They are just as important to you and to your business as your Friends are. They are ideal ambassadors of your Page, and your business.

HOW TO IMPORT CONTACTS?

If less than 5,000 people like your Page, you can invite your email contacts to like your Page. You can also import your contacts by providing your email address and password. To invite your email contacts: •  Click Build Audience at the top of your Page •  Select Import Contacts •  Upload a file or choose your email service and follow the on-screen

instructions

Promote Page 3

You may want to reach more of the people who are important to you after you have connected with your Facebook Friends and business contacts. Facebook’s Promote Page are ads you can run with a specific target audience group and with a budget to suit your needs. Promote Page ads are specifically designed to promote your Page to others to generate Likes on your Page.

Timeline •  Click Promote next to the website listed for your Page •  Fill in the details about your promotion •  Click Promote Website

If you haven't added a website to your Page, you can do this by going to the Page Info section of your Page's Settings.

Like your Page 4Don’t forget to like your own Page. As a business owner, you need to be your own business ambassador, and the same concept applies to your Facebook Page. Be the first to like your Page, and set the scene for others to follow.

HOW TO LIKE A PAGE? From a Page: Click Like on the Page's cover photo. From a News Feed story or an ad: Click Like or Like Page in the story or ad. From search: Type a topic or name you're interested in and click to select a Page from the results. Once you're on the Page, click Like on the Page's cover photo. From the About section of someone's Timeline: Scroll down to the Likes section, hover over a Page that you're interested in and click Like.

Custom Facebook Page URL 5

Ensure you claim a custom Facebook Page URL (web address) such as www.facebook.com/xxxxxxxx. Use your custom Facebook Page URL in all marketing material including flyers, brochures, business cards, email signatures and websites.

HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM URL?

You can customize the web address for your Timeline or your Page by choosing a username. You can choose a username that Facebook suggests or create your own. Select Check availability to see if the username you want is available. If it is, click Confirm to confirm your choice. Note: You must be an admin to choose a username for a Page.

Social Plug-Ins 6

There are many social plugins you can add to your website to generate more Likes for your Page. Add a LIKE BUTTON on your website to cross promote your Page.

WHAT IS A LIKE BUTTON?

The Like button is a social plugin. It’s a way for people to share their interest in content off of Facebook (articles, videos, products, etc.) and provide recommendations to their friends back on Facebook. The Like button and other social plugins can be placed on any website. When people logged into Facebook visit a site that uses the Like button or another social plugin, they can have a more social experience by seeing which of their friends have liked something or liking it themselves and sharing it with their friends on Facebook.

Facebook Signage 7

If you have a retail store, just like you would add a Like button on your website, you can start telling your customers about your Page by placing in-store signs.

more on being real, and to genuinely connect with the

people that matter most to you and your business.

Your most engaged Fans are the people who will help tell your

story to others.”

busy bees working on your behalf to spread your message onto a wider network of people you could not have reached on

your own.”
