[]One of the most effective social media platforms that will help your business is Facebook. Having a Facebook page will definitely help your business be heard. Did you know that there are 1.06 Billion active users and about 680 million mobile users on Facebook? Imagine if you got even less than 1% of those to be your fans and be your potential customer. However, in order to attract fans you should find a way to do it effectively. We have listed some ways that can attract your fans.
1. Keep posting regularly
Your Facebook page needs to have daily content such as blogs, some quotes, images or something that you want your fans to know. But ensure that you don't post them all simultaneously. Have a schedule or try using a social media tool like hootsuite, sprout social, and social oomph.
2. Have some apps installed on your Facebook.
Design your Facebook page according to your market. Develop a cover page that will match your business. Put some tabs. You may add your blog, or you can add your other social media platforms like your Twitter, Google+, YouTube etc. There are plenty of Facebook apps that provide it for free though you can also try Lujure, Shortstack or Woobox.
3. Link your Website
Without linking with your website your Facebook page won't be as good for ranking as you might think. You will find a lot of ways you may link your website. If you are using Wordpress there are tons of plug ins you can use for free. You can also check the Facebook help center for the codes you can use for your website.
4. Use your Twitter account
You can make use of your twitter account to advertise your Facebook page. Send your followers a direct message to let them know that they could also interact with you on Facebook or send your new followers a welcome message they can also connect with you on Facebook.
5. Organize a contest
Try running a contest, it may not be as huge as winning a cruise. It can be just a small token that your fans may like. You can do it on a weekly basis but observe it if you are attracting your fans, otherwise you can try to be more creative in running it.
6. Recognize your new fans
Welcoming your new fans is treating them like they are surely special. A little welcome message won't damage your business, and will do much to let your fans know you appreciate them.
These are some of the ways you can attract fans. However, the most important thing you should remember is to always engage your fans. Engagement is the number one key on how to be successful in the new world of Social Media.
Until next time...
