Default Facebook - Getting Fans
My business now has a Page in Facebook. It doesn't have much included on it yet but it is a start.

My Question: How do you suggest Pages to People? I get all these requests of suggestions to be a Fan of a Page and I want to be able to do this to.

Thanks
Robyn

To suggest to your friends, go to your page and under your picture (to the left) choose the MORE options and there is a selection to Suggest to Friends. Also post you fan page link on your web page and on your marketing materials and you will find that fans of Facebook will join.

Don't forget to post meaningful content to keep them coming back.

I became a fan and am looking forward to your business posts.

Thanks so much for your help. I will check it out tonight. Just thought if I was able to get a few fans in there, it would look more entising to others to join.

My plan is to post discussions on different Business and Tax Issues to keep them coming back. Time will tell if it works. If you have suggestions along the way, please let me know.

Thanks
Robyn

Also be sure you use Twitter to let everyone know about your new group LinkedIn can be another great resource given your group topic.

Good luck!

Hi,
I have a question regarding facebook pages, too. Is there any way that "John Q Public" can search for my page? I would like to get out of my circle of supportive friends to find out if the "real world" would become a fan...how does that work? Is that only done through taking out an ad?

Thank you in advance!
Dee

Dee,

Do you mean search on FB? Also you can place a fan page widget on your website where your readers can join with one click

Dee - Here's one way to get fans for your biz site. Tweet about it. And offer something there (on your FB Fan Page) that will entice people to check it out.
