Facebook Fanpages: How to Get Thousands of Fans for Fanpages
A facebook fan page without fans is like a beautiful shopping mall with no customers. Of what use is it? The same way the owner of a very attractive shopping would not be too pleased is the same way I know a lot of facebook fanpage owners are. I intend to give you some awesome tips in this post such that when next you visit this blog you would have gotten thousands of fans on your facebook fanpage.
In my last post, I gave you a very lovely tool that can be used to customize your facebook fan page such that with it you can have a very attractive fan page that could pull in leads for you when done properly.
I did not just give you the tool; I also provided some useful insights into why you want to consider getting a fan page for your business, product, or blog.
If you have not read the article, check it out here:
However having a beautifully customized fan page is only a part of the equation. If you do not have a way to drive traffic there, you are missing a very important part. If you like, have the best customized fan page with a strong call to action to getting your free gift, if you cannot drive traffic to this page you have just added your fan page to the numbers.
I don’t want that. For any regular reader of this site, I want you to make the best use of anything you have available, facebook fanpages inclusive.
Some might argue that what use is trying to get traffic to the fan page and that they want the traffic to their fan pages to come naturally. That’s okay! If that’s what you want, you are welcomed to stop reading right now. However if you are still open-minded to why having many fans could prove advantageous to your home-based business, I offer my insights…
Benefits of Having Many Fans on Your Facebook Fanpage
- Good for Branding: You should realize that branding is everything on the internet. Your fan page carries your signature and you want to have as many people as possible recognizing you on the internet as much as possible. And where best to do that than on the phenomenon of the moment: Social Media. And since facebook has taken on the mantle of the king of Social media, you want to be seen on the best of the best platform.
- Social Proof: How do you view someone with 50k followers on twitter? You see them as an expert of a sort, right? Same thing with facebook fan pages. The more the fans you have, the more people see you as someone to be listened to. Someone they should pay attention to. This is especially important if you are involved in a home-based business.
- More Leads: People should realize that I am not online to while away time. I’m not here for chitchat or fun. I’m online for business and I should treat it as such. Because I see a fan page as a way to generate leads for my home-based business, I have a special offer for people in exchange for their contact. That way I can keep in touch with them and build a relationship with them, and offer them even more tremendous value. What this mean for me is that if I want to get more leads, I should drive more traffic to my fan page. It’s a no-brainer! You need a large amount of traffic to your fan page to get a large amount of leads.
- Group Effect: Answer this question: You see two fan pages offering about the same value. One has 6 fans, the other has 10,000 fans. Which fan page would you prefer to ‘like’? You see where I am going? The more fans you have, the more fans you will have.
- Probably Good for SEO: In my last post I told you about that I found one of my fan pages on the first page of Google. I am no expert in SEO but I have been reading up on Google and the way they rank pages, and one key thing I get is that Google likes a site with a lot of traffic, and tends to rank it very high. Therefore I consider that if there are two fan pages with the same keyword Google will prefer to rank the fan page with more fans higher. Like I said, I am no expert, but I have a gut feeling that’s what Google would do. Why? Because that’s what I would do if I were Google.
These are just my thoughts and feel free to disagree with me on any of the points.
I decided to provide the following list of tips to getting thousands of fans for your fan page because of this comment by one of my readers, Joshua.
“Having a fan page is great… provided that you actually have fans. I’ve a friend with 63 likes for 4 months now, after pleading with folks to ‘like’ him. Sounds a bit phony to go about like that, doesn’t it?
”
So let’s find a way to help Joshua’s friend to get his fans to thousands and also you too my readers…
Tips to Get Thousand of Fans for your facebook Fan Pages
- Ask Your friends: I can see Joshua chuckling already. I’m also giggling as I write this.
But all kidding aside, if I have a brand-new fan page, obviously no one knows me but my folks. Therefore the logical thing for me to do is to ask my friends to ‘like’ me because they already like me. If I ask Marcus or Ryan or Sherman, I’m sure they wont see that as ‘pleading’. Why? Because we already have a relationship. What if I ask my friends over at Clever Marketer Mastermind? There is nothing wrong with that. In fact I can get 200 fans in a space of 2 days calling on my friends. What I don’t want is you having that as the only option. So on to the next tip… - Mail Your List: Just use an Autoresponder to send a message to your list intimating them about the additional benefit they stand to gain by connecting with you on your fan page because you are putting your efforts into making it throughly exceptional. You could get hundreds of people in a space of an hour doing that alone. The only clause is the relationship you have with them, and of course the size of your list.
- Join This Group: I stumbled on this group last week and the goal of this group is to get you a thousand fans. If you want more info on this group, CLICK HERE.
- Use Facebook Ads: If you have some extra bucks to spare, you could promote your fan page using facebook ads and facebook will do a good job for you. Personally, I just don’t like to buy when there is free for the same value, ya know.
So, on to the next tip… - Use twitter: I see a lot of top internet and network marketers use this trick to get thousands of fans on their fan pages. What they do is simply use a tool called Social Oomph to automate messages to people who follow them on twitter. An example of such a message is this:
Hey thanks for the follow! You are cool
Connect with me on facebook http://YourFanPageLink.com I love connecting with cool peeps
Look, that line I gave you is very powerful. You want to use it! Feel free to let me know of the line you use if you have one.
6. Use Facebook Widget: If you have a blog, it’s a good idea to have a facebook fan page widget on your blog. I see a lot of my friends have it. Maybe it’s time to remove my networkedblog widget and replace it with my fan page, it’s more useful anyway, especially now that I have many times more fans over at my fan page. You cannot believe how many people click that widget here. Same thing will happen to your fan page, provided you offer value on your blog.
7. Use Twiends: This tool is powerful! It offers you followers for your twitter account, fans for your facebook fan pages and friends for your YouTube channel. Simply get an account an account HERE and follow their instructions. Did I say it’s free? One of my friends currently has 3500 friends and he got about two thirds of them through twiends.
I hope you have no excuse not to have at least a thousand fans on your facebook fan page by the time you visit my site next. Good luck to you.

Hey Tosin,
Every post that I read on this blog is full of quality. Fanpage is a great medium for branding if you have a lot of followers. It’s also a best way to get social proof. People will definite follow someone who is already being followed.
Thanks for Sharing!

Hey Christian,

I agree! I find it easier to follow someone who is already being followed. No brainer, right? Just wondering why alot of people dont see that way.
Always good to have you here, Christian!
Tosin
Hi Tosin,
Excellent post with lots of practical tips. I love how you are providing quality value in abundance in your posts.
Two things I want to comment on:
I have used a similar line in Twitter for a long time and it works like a dream.
Twiends – Be careful you don’t work too fast with this site or they will limit your activity or worse, close your account if either Twitter or Face book complains to them about you. It’s not rocket science… just be sensible.

Marcus Baker @Network Maketing Internet Business recently posted..Motivated Versus Inspired Blogging
Hey Marcus,
Thanks for the kind words. Like the say content is king.
So you’ve been using the twitter line too. Just got a hold of it and intend to start using it.
The warning bout twiends is very necessary. No aggressive following or you get banned.
Thanks for the great input, Marcus!
Tosin
Hi Tosin,
Undoubtedly Facebook Fanpages are becoming more and more important for online branding. Just like a blog without any comments, a fanpage without any fans is like a desert with a tumbleweed rolling across… Dead.
Love that you gave a variety of strategies for attracting more fans to your page. I’ve had too much else on recently, but soon I’ll have to get my own fan page up and I’ll be checking back to your blog for some extra inspiration and guidelines in these matters when I do.
Cheers!

Good advice and suggestions for anyone who hasn’t yet developed a huge following of fans.
Thanks Catarina!
Okay, jammed pack with great stuff again Tosin. Thanks for this.
You gave some really great tips but what I did was find some pages and groups and then individually email the people interested in my niche. I invited them to head over to my fan page and just describe to them what they will find there. Got a pretty good following I think so far. It’s only a couple months old and up to 190 now. No sneaky tactics, no mass promoting, nothing like that. Just another tip that may help.
Thanks again, will have to check out what you suggested where I am lacking in those areas.

I agree that the more fans you have, the more people will going to add you. For me, the number of fans of a particular person or blog is a sign of authority and trust.
P.S. Please promote GrowMap Anti-Spam Plug In here. I am sick with Akismet. Thanks.
Hey Raymund,
Same for me too. The more fans the higher the authority and trust.
Ha ha I dont like Akismet. Seems we got something in common.
Thanks for stopping by, Raymund!

Hey Tosin,
That sounds like a great strategy. Unfortunately, I am having so little fans on my FB page; there are 2 reasons – 1. The page is quite very new, I launched it two months ago and 2. I did not put up a widget or let people know about my fan page until very recently.
I will use your strategy to get more fans.
Cheers,
Jane.

Hey Tosin, this was an incredibly value-packed post. It is very obvious you know what you are doing. I was telling Adrienne earlier that I have not yet built a facebook fan page. (go figure)… I don’t know why… it just … scared me I guess.
I am definitely going to take you up on your suggestions… the sooner I start the sooner I can start adding… ha ha… can’t add fans with no fan page now can I?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

You dont have a fan page, Jayne. There is nothing so special in it, you know. Just get there and invite me over. At least you have got a fan before you have a fanpage. Ha ha
Thanks for the kind words, I’ll be waiting for your fanpage.
Tosin
Tosin,
It’s true how we’re wired to perceive high social counts as belonging to authorities and gurus. Sometimes the numbers are artificially inflated but it isn’t always easy to tell (particularly for newbies).
Your dedication to keeping your business page and behavior all about business is admirable. You stated that you don’t do it to chit chat but to work on your business. It’s great to be disciplined (as long as we balance it with courtesy and we’re careful not to treat people only as leads).
Good points here…
Jon
Hey Jon,
Yeah we are wired to think that. I’ve also discover that most of what is online is inflated to a degree. But it’s not always a lie too. it’s all about understanding the terrain and using it to one’s advantage.
Thanks for your kind words, Jon!

Facebook advertising strategy is extremely important for online business. It provides a lot of benefits. First of all, it is additional traffic to a website. Also, Facebook marketing is useful for brand development and I agree that it may also be useful for SEO purposes. I think that the easiest way to get thousands of fan is to bring value to people. Interesting and valuable information is quickly spread among people, so you will manage to get thousands of fans within a short period of time.

Getting traffic is a must, and so is getting that traffic like you. You must have content that makes people hit that like button. And having people liking you is always good with the prospects of online income and other stuff.

Like I said, James, the more people like you, the more others see you as an expert and they will feel they can trust your judgement which is very good for online income.
Exactly Tosin! Being amongst people always let you exhibit your personna and talent, and hence trust builds up eventually.

This is an informative post with helpful advice for online business. Online business firms are doing extremely creative and appealing stuffs on Facebook fan page, but many online business firms need help for understanding how to build best Facebook fan page (and social media basic). This article is a great begin. This intuition shows that marketing cannot increase without social media. And also creating budget must be plan well…
I just started a facebook fanpage for my unlaunched business. I’ve been very busy recently and haven’t finished doing my products so I posted an “under construction” note. Do you think I should already invite some people even if I haven’t got any content yet? Even if I put some information but no products, do you think its wise to invite some people in? Just thought you could help me. Thanks!
Hey Calli,
I think you should start your fanpage now and tell people they will have a gift for coming on board even before the launch. Just a strategy for drawing people in and keeping them salivating and expectant for what you have coming.
Done the right way, you could have a blast when you have the launch of the product. Let me know if you need any help, Calli!
~Tosin
Sounds like a good idea. We already have a fanpage and we’re hesitant to invite people yet because there is no content so far.lol I will discuss this with my friend/partner. Thanks a lot Tosin!:)
Hi,
Its a nice article to go through. The informations provided were not known of having benefits of having fans in our Facebook fan-page. The best benefit is, it can be good for SEO. I think that the easier way for getting fans is just to mail our list. The article is really a beneficial one for the Facebook users. Hope to get this type of nice article form you in future. Thanks for uploading.
Anthony recently posted..Making a DIY Chicken Coop – How Big
Hey Anthony,
I love the benefit of SEO. It’s such a great motivation.
Mailing our list is a good idea, but for people just starting they dont have as many people on their list, so using other alternatives might not be a bad idea.
Thanks for adding to the discussion!
~Tosin
Moreover, I think that popular social networks like FaceBook can become a good alternative to popular search engines. It can be considered as my prediction of the nearest future
Time will show if it is true or not

I guess it’s so hard to convince people to like your page.. I have Facebook fan page for almost 2 months but I gather only 64 likes. I hope Facebook will also give some revenue to those who create fan pages and LIKED BY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE..
I am really hoping for that happens…
