Methods For How to Get Facebook Likes

People can either like content on your own blog or site (if you have the proper plugin/apps installed) or they can like your Facebook fan page itself. You need your own Facebook fan page to enable most of this and I'll link to a post on how to do that in the end of this article.

But how do we get more Facebook likes? Aside from creating great content which encourages people to like your content of its own volition, let's look at 7 effective ways of how to get Facebook likes.

Advertise Your Facebook Page

Sure it's a no brainer, but make sure people know that you have a Facebook fan page for your business or website by advertising it everywhere you advertise everything else. Put your Facebook page's address on your business cards, prominently link to it on every page of your site, mention it in person when you get a chance, put it in your email signature for every time you send out an email, etc. Visit facebook likes for more info. Do you article market? Why not take a break from linking to your website and instead send them towards your Facebook fan page?

Get Your Friends to Like You

You've already got friends on Facebook hopefully, why not make them work for you? Send out a post where you ask everyone to check out and like your page. If you have a lot of friends and they're good people, that'll get you a ton of likes fast. This can help you especially when you're just starting out with a new page because that initial burst of fans of your page will act as social proof and get your non friends/strangers who check out your page to like it, as well, after seeing others have done it before.

Use Facebook Advertising

Using Facebook's own advertising network is a great way to get people to check out your Facebook page. I don't liken this to purchasing likes because it's a more legitimate way in my mind of getting likes and targeted likes at that.

Join Relevant Groups

Joining and engaging in groups which are relevant to your niche is a good way to get the word out about your page and consequently have people check it out and possibly like it.

Twiends

Twiends is a free service made predominantly for getting followers on Twitter, but it can also be used to get more Likes on Facebook for your page and views for your YouTube videos and for free at that, so check it out.

Incentivized Likes

I'm not sure incentivized is a word, but you can offer an incentive in exchange for getting people to like your content.

You can also put content like videos in your fans only section of your page so that people can only access the videos by being a fan, thus encouraging them to remain a fan. Add new content on a semi regular basis to your fan section and it almost feels like a neat exclusive membership community.
