How To Start Increasing Your Facebook Page Likes?
Facebook is undoubtedly the biggest and the most popular social networking website in the world. There are over a billion active users and is a great platform to attract potential customers.
If you are a blogger or a marketer, you will have a Facebook page of your blog, your product or of your service. On this page, you might be posting updates in order to gain more followers and get more likes. But if you are still struggling in getting more Facebook likes then you need to read this article till the end.
Why do you need to work on getting more likes?
You might be asking this question.
Well, for starters, if you have a lot of likes on your Facebook page, you can drive a huge amount of traffic to your website or to your products. You can promote other people’s products to make sales and earn money with it.
But the best part is that if your Facebook page has tens of thousands of likes, then people will trust you and feel that the page is representing a brand, which can be really helpful in the long term.
So let’s see the various ways using which you can get more Facebook likes.
Simple Ways to Get Initial Likes
At the beginning of the article, I would like to mention some of the simple methods that you can use to get the initial boost on your Facebook page. These methods are right in front of you and people use them but for some reason, you are not implementing these methods. So let’s begin with the neglected methods.
1. Invite Your Friends:-
The first thing you need to do to gain likes is to use this option. You need to invite your friends to like your page by sending them invite messages.
You can do this automatically from your Facebook page.
Go to your Facebook page and on the left-hand side, below your page’s profile picture, you will see a small box like in the image below. Click on the “Invite Friends to Like This Page” option.
You will see a complete list of all your friends. On the right side of your friends’ name, there will be an “Invite” button. Click on it to send an invite.
This is a simple method to gain the initial likes but you can use it at any time to inform your new friends that you have Facebook page and you will appreciate it if they could like it.
You can also invite your email contacts to like your Fb page by sending them an invite via email.
2. Ask Friends To Invite Their Friends:-
You can also ask your friends to go to your page and use the “Invite Friends to like this page” option to send an invite to their friend’s list.
When they visit your Facebook page, they will see the option as well.
However, I would recommend you to ask only those friends who will really help you. And only ask them once, don’t keep on nagging. If someone repeatedly asked you to like their page, then you will get irritated. The same thing can happen to them as well.
So ask them politely once and if you are lucky, then will oblige and help you out in getting more likes on your Facebook page.
3. Prepare A Posting Schedule and Stick to It:-
If you think that by posting 10-15 times a day, you are going to get a lot of likes and engagement, then you are wrong. Unless you have a memes page, celebrity gossip page or news page, posting multiple times a day won’t do you any good.
When you engage more people in your status updates, chances of getting more shares increases and as a result, the chances of attracting more likes increases as well.
According to KISSMetrics, pages that post 1-2 times a day gets 40% more user engagement than pages with 3+ posts a day.
This doesn’t mean that you will get higher user engagement on any update you post. Unless you write something meaningful and useful, you are not going to see any user engagement. Remember that quality always wins over quantity.
4. Add Facebook Like Box on your Website:-
You can add a Facebook Like box on your website to convert your new blog readers into regular readers. You can add a widget in the sidebar or use a pop-up box to attract more likes.
5. Use Facebook as your Page:-
You can click on the top-right drop-down menu to choose your Facebook page as user and then like or comment on other popular pages to get other people’s attention. This is not a solid way to get long-lasting followers but is a really great way to get more exposure.
6. Try to Post at the Best time:-
When I say that try to publish a post at the best time, I mean to say that utilize the time when people are most likely to click on your post.
There are both, best days to post an update as well as best time in a day to post an update, for maximum exposure.
The best time to post an update on Facebook is around noon to 1:00 pm and if you want to get more clicks, then you should post an update at 3:00 pm.
Similarly, the best days are Thursdays and Fridays for better engagement and Saturdays for more shares. Combines these timings to create a perfect posting schedule and stick to it.
Know the best time to post an update on Facebook.
7. Use Share for Share (S4S):-
Note: This method works only when you have a considerable amount of likes on your Facebook page.
There may be more than a billion pages on Facebook and it’s highly possible that you will find a lot of pages sharing the same type of content that you do.
When you reach a point where you don’t know how to increase the Facebook likes, you need to take the help of your competitors.
Find the same pages as yours and message them to know if they are interested in sharing your page link on their page. Tell them; in return you will do the same. (Share for Share or shout-out-for-shout-out method)
Increase your facebook page likes using S4S Technique.
If you know about Neil Patel’s $100,000 blog challenge, then you would know that he is building a Facebook fan page as well and in the recent update, he mentioned that the page crossed 100,000 likes by posting quality content and doing shout-out-for-shout-outs.
8. Use Giveaways and Organize Contests:-
You can organize a contest on your Facebook fan page and give something away for free to your readers. This will help you in getting more followers because the people that already like your page are going to invite their friends as well to take part in your contest.
You can add a rule that all the participants must like your page in order to be eligible to win the prize.
