How do I get fans on facebook?

I know that you can get a LOT of quality traffic from facebook, but to accomplish that you require a decent number of fans on your fan page. How is this accomplished? I've seen threads selling facebook fans for as much as 20 cents apiece but I don't know how you can acquire them.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Posting on friends wall or nice topic,offer, on fanpage is a nice way to collect fans.

 

It's good to invite people who know personally first of all, then maybe post a question or a poll to encourage interaction. If you want to kick start your fan numbers you can try an exchange site (like the banner in my signature) which would help you.

Why not try buying a bulk purchase of fans? If you need more info' PM me.

 

Facebook was removed from Twiends a long time ago.

 

Use sites that exchange fans, but I think this is not good because people only care about money and not the content of the page, sometimes even using fake accounts.

 

You can use Facebook traffic exchange, but like fermlour mentioned, it is not very much advisable. I would say you should always use "organic ways" to get more fans on facebook. Now it may take a while, but that's no reason to worry, you will get them alright, and they will be true fans.

 

Quality content,interesting topics and conversations are good ways to get fans. Also leave your page to be public so that people can see and join it, add your Facebook fan page to your personal profile for work so that people can see your page that way as well. I don't suggest buying fans or anything because half of them will never even view your pages, I tried this Facebook like thing to get fans and most of them were from countries I had nothing to do with and were not an audience I wanted. If you don't keep them liked on your own Facebook they will unlike your page and then you will lose those fans, work hard and promote it. I had one of my co-workers prove the theory also that Facebook ads themselves really don't generate fans, you just need to work at changing images,coming up with stuff that is new and refreshing and then you will slowly gain fans for your page.

 

I wish I knew buddy. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread myself. xD

 

Social networking through other sites is always helpful. DeviantArt, Tumblr, twitter, anywhere you already have a presence. Pester your friends, too, because a lot of time, they don't mind at least trying for you.

 

Many bot likes on there or more like paying for likes so there page is shown on more results etc that way it gets much more traffic its like $5 for 100 likes which is good hopefully that helps.

 

As long as you don't spam, you can try communicating with other facebook pages that relate to your page. I have a few "affiliations" with other facebook pages, where we post and share things on each other's pages. It's definitely helped me out quite a bit.

But make sure it's not very similar to your page.

 

Buying Facebook fans won't do you any good. It's something on has to earn through consistency, persistence and some wise tweaks.

 

Word of mouth and posting quality topics, and not spamming will get more likes/fans.

 

I pay for services on Facebook to advertise for fans for any of my projects. The cost per day is adjustable but the total cost you put in depends on how much effort you want to do. You can also join Facebook groups that people are joining where it is allowed to promote what you have. I do this method as well. What I don't like to do is hail to my personal family and friends in the newsfeed. That's just uncouth in my opinion. Now, I know this thread is about Facebook but you should also consider Twitter if you have a nice big fan base. The characters per post may be limited but if you use your tags very carefully you can easily get a good response there. Social media is by far the largest and best way to get to people who are interested in your projects. That's why I am glad that I am a business administrator in marketing. I stay up to date with what works and go looking for more resources that are new which I may not be already using.

 

What do you mean by no spamming? Spamming will never get you any fans in the first place.

 

Do you have a link to your facebook page somewhere on your site? That's a good way to build likes.

 

I think it means to make sure you are not spamming requests for fans in the first place. That's what it sounds like to me.

 

As if people would become fans by nagging lol
I for one would never like a Facebook page if it keeps popping up.

 

I think it's good to defo have a Button on your site, even encourage people to Like your Facebook page and reward them with points of something if you have a points system set up on your forum.
