5 Ways to Grow Your Facebook Fan Page

July 12, 2016 By AJ Agrawal 24 Comments

Your following on Facebook is your central platform for engaging with customers and drawing in leads. Unfortunately, Facebook’s organic reach has been crippled over the years. It’s now the case that you have to work harder than ever to grow your Facebook fan page.

These five strategies will help you to expand your Facebook reach by increasing the number of people engaging with your page.

1. Paid Advertising Is a Great Way for Easy Reach

A lot of people shy away from spending money on Facebook advertising, but paying for ads is still an effective strategy. Paid advertising can help you to reach the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time. You can start by spending as little as $5 per day.

It does take extensive testing to make this tactic work. Paid advertising will fail to yield any significant gains in the beginning. However, over time your returns will start to increase as you find out what works for you and what doesn’t.

Just beware of shelling out too much in the short-term. Facebook is extremely good at spending your money.

2. Trade Shout-Outs with Bloggers

Trade shout-outs with other bloggers by agreeing to mention each other on your respective pages. By doing so, you can tap into the audiences of other influencers. Your shout-outs can be in the form of direct promotions or unsolicited recommendations.

Even a blogger with a small following can be of benefit if he or she has a niche audience to which you want access. Try to reach out to bloggers with similar levels of popularity or higher. No-name bloggers will benefit from you, but you won’t necessarily benefit from them.

Additionally, you can pay a fee to other influencers to reach their audiences if you don’t want to do a trade. Just make sure you approach them diplomatically. One mistake could make them mad, and then they will give you negative publicity instead of positive publicity.

3. Focus on Content People Will Share

Facebook is all about content that people are likely to share. You have to go out of your way to create the type of content that has a proven track record of success on Facebook.

An easy way to find out what’s popular is to use tools like BuzzSumo. Such resources track which topics and keywords are trending in your field. You can usually sort results by how much engagement they have.

Then you can write on the subjects you discover through BuzzSumo, or you can simply share that content so your fans can share it as well. It’s the easiest form of advertising there is!

4. Make Engagement a Priority for Your Brand

Don’t become focused entirely on the number of likes you have. Engagement is just as, if not more, important. People who are fully invested in your brand are the most likely candidates to become brand ambassadors and future buyers.

Concentrate on making your content more engaging through varying the types of content you publish, leaving open-ended questions at the end of your posts, and posting a few times every day.

5. Start Running Contests on Your Page

People love the chance to win free stuff. By spending a little on a giveaway, you can get people interested in your page.

The key to running a great contest is only to offer something that’s valuable to your industry. Don’t offer something like an Amazon gift card. If you do, you will have people entering the contest who have no interest in your product.

Offer giveaways on a regular basis, and you will soon see a spike in activity.

Conclusion

It takes time to build a loyal, engaged following on your page. With the help of these strategies, you should have no problem getting the fans you need.

How will you grow your Facebook page today?

    Great listing of jobs that actually effective on growing Facebook pages. And here I wanted to add one thing as a niche blogger and social media marketer that Photos get more engagement then simple text posts or videos that posted. So photos can get more public shares and can drive more traffic to the page. And if someone can create a niche related unique high quality infographic and posted it in page, then possibly it can drive more targeted traffic. If 1K people engaged with this possibly there 100 new likes for page. This is much easier then paying out for new fans.

    A great trick is to post articles in response to blog site articles, which will create backlinks to improve your websites domain authority, and bring in free traffic. JodatLawGroup.com is the perfect example, where we share so much content with so many different mediums, and drive it back to our Facebook page. Very free effective way to get new fans.

    Hey AJ,

    To increase the engagement of the people on your Facebook page, you should connect with them. making human bonds is always a good idea. I like the idea of trading the shout-outs. People like to get recognized at different places. So they would love to do the same for any other user.

    Paid advertisements are quite good. Facebook shows your page to many other users. the possibility is that you would get more likes than usual.

    An informative post indeed.
    Enjoy the day.

    We should focus on content which people share this helps us in finding the current mindset of people. We should read them and should add our own thinking to it. Just copy and paste it will not be helpful. We should read the current content to get the idea and should work on it.
