7 Ways to Increase Your Face Book Likes

Pass by many desks in the office, laptops at cafes, and net books at the park and you will find the tab

with Face book on it. We're all on it as we keep up with friends and family who post pictures of their fun

weekends and vacations, funny status updates, quotes, and thoughts. This social network sensation has

taken over our communication style.

Businesses have jumped in to the social network and taken advantage of hearing directly from the

consumer. This trend has not always been the way that it has been. Remember the days where the

communication was one sided? Those days are no more and consumers can post their concerns and

questions directly to the company's Face book page. Over 45% of consumers state they trust a company

more if they have an active Face book business page and they are more likely to want to engage with

the company by liking their Face book page.

Companies and personalities have included Face book as a part of their overall marketing plan. The goals

may differ, but we all help to chime in by clicking the Like button. There are so many ways to get readers

involved by clicking Like.

Contests

Who doesn't like a little competition? Creating a contest to where people have to click Like or comment

is a good way to "go viral." When one person clicks on your status their friends see it too and your status

stays live longer because so many people are clicking Like and/or commenting. The contest could be as

simple as asking people to share your picture and the person who's friends click Like more will win a

prize. The normal friend rate on Face book is about 350 friends. Imagine your business gaining their

audience in addition to others who will post!

Memes

Remember when everyone was posting pictures of themselves planking? Simply lay stiff in an unusual

place, snap a picture, and post. This went to all types of extreme as people went from the extreme to

the funny posing...or laying stiffly. This went on to other memes such as posing while jumping in to a

pool, sunsets, and more. Create your own sensation, get your audience to mimic, and see if it will catch

on. The great thing about memes is you can create more than one.

Ask Questions

All of us have opinions. Face book is full of them. Once you have captured your audience begin to ask

them questions. If you ask, they will come. Create questions centered around your service or what your

friends know you to be about and they will give you their honest opinion and become involved. This

creates engagement, which will surely bring about Likes on the question you've asked. You can create a

question of the week and tag this back to a contest of some sort where you offer a discount or a freebie.

Follow A Trail

Do you have a website or blog? Take your audience on a trail ride from your website or blog to your

Face book page. Involve them further by asking a call to action to Like your page. This creates contextual

link building which can create more traffic overall to your brand or company.
