Best Guide in Managing Facebook Pages

Facebook, the undeniably most popular social networking site in the world, having a billion monthly active users, probably the perfect place to put your business, band, organization, even yourself, and anything to promote and be seen by any people around the globe. Having a facebook page really matters, extending the reach using the internet for free. If you don’t own a facebook page, creating one is easy as 1,2,3. Just click the link and fill-up the details and you’re ready to go.https://www.facebook.com/pages/create

How to gain facebook page’s likes?

First problem here is “How can I gain page likes?” it is obvious of course that the more the likes, the more people can see and interact to your page, although facebook pages are default to be set in public, (meaning everyone can see it, search engine can index it,) having a bunch of likes would really matter, the number of likes refers to the people that can see your page/post automatically even they don’t visit the page.

Invite all your friends

To boost likes it is recommended to “invite all your friends” so they will be informed that your page do exist, and give them an option to like it if they want to. (you can check my older articles that discussed a trickto do this thing with an ease, and a trick to accept all facebook friend request for you to gain more invites, maximum friends allowed is 5,000).

Post on other similar page to increase your visibility

Let say your page is all about technology, arts, food, photography. Posting on different pages having a similar category on your page will create more visitors and they might like your page too. Try to comment and put your page on trending post with a convincing or a good content that can get the people’s attention or interests. This will drive them to checkout your page. (you can also “use facebook as your page” when posting.)

Ask friends to help you invite more people

My old article focusing on a trick to invite all friends without manual clicking would really help here a lot. Ask your friends a favor to visit your page, you can also show my article regarding that facebook inviter so they can do it at your page on their own.

Do a contest

This is probably the trickiest, and a real common method, but few other people, especially admins doesn’t know it. Have you ever experience being begged by someone to like a “photo entry”? the contest is about having the most liked photos/videos, by using this method it will dramatically increase your page likes. Try to do this “once every 2-3 months”, having a general rule. “People should like the page before liking the entry, to make it valid”. :)

Ask other pages to do “promote for promote”

As simple as “I will promote your page, in return promote mine too.” Promoting anything won’t harm you. Just make sure you will promote pages that are still having similar category as your page. This will keep your old fans to see your page “credibility” and get a lesser or possibly none, people who might unlike you page due to inappropriate content.

Advertise on Facebook

I don’t really recommend this method not just because it’s a paid method, but to be honest, it’s really too expensive. But you can still try if you got a budget for promotions/advertisements. As simple as Likes=financial damage. Take this option at your own risk! :)

Advertise outside Facebook

If it is business related page or anything that include any advertisement beyond facebook, put on your facebook page, if you got a website, try to use the facebook “LIKE BOX” (example is located on the rightside of this website, allowing people to directly like your page even its outside facebook), if you got TV ad, put your links at the end of it, putting a facebook logo with your page’s link on banners, leaflets, flyers, etc. will also help you gain more fans.

Keeping the page active

For continues interactions and gain of fans it’s totally needed to keep the page live and alive. A daily new post (if you can make it possible) relevant to the page category can attract more people interested on that particular matter. But putting too much posts can also annoy, so control and timing should be applied. 1-5 daily posts are enough to keep your page rolling. Of course the gap should also consider, if you post too frequently it may look to be a flooder or spammer act.

Add more admins

To ensure your page’s activity set some to help you manage the page. Either administrators or content creators would help you keep on the trend. Don’t be a “one-man-team” the more, the better. You can’t promise to be online 24/7, others can sub-handled your duty while you’re not in front of your pc. Just make sure the one you will pick is trust worthy, as admin can take over your page and can kick you out. So be careful, content creator allows admin to control post, but don’t have so much privileges compare to administrator, so if you don’t completely put your trust, assigning people in this position is your best choice.

Put relevant content

This is considered to be one of the most important aspects, the post. What is it all about, a “short but detailed” post will attract your people to read or to check it compare to more complex, very long article or description, uninteresting topics, etc. put some sentence/s in the first line that will serve also as your post’s tile, that points out what your post is all about. If possible, try also to post unusual facts that can educate or teach, and put on “share this post, to spread the information and help others” the more the share the more the traffic, the more can lead to your page.

Timing

I also considered this as a most important aspect. People (admins) don’t emphasize on a post’s timing. Write (copy+paste sometimes) then post are just fine? To tell you exactly you can have more and more “reach” if your post’s timing is correct. This might be hard to know, because timing also depends on your fans, considering the location for example. Practice and experiment. Try to post on different time 12AM-11PM and see what time you can get more reach, you can see it on the bottom left of your post. (123 people saw this post). To give you an advice, try to use the “SCHEDULER” located at the bottom left when you create a post. Try to schedule your post on “prime time” 7:00pm-10:00pm each day, that time, commonly most of the people are at home, watching TV, surfing the net, using facebook, etc. scheduling your post into this will boost people who can saw your post. If you got multiple posts, set a 30-1hr difference, hitting the prime time will make your page closer to people than posting on midnight where most of the people are at sleep.

The use of photos/videos

May seemed to be not so important, but as simple as adding photos for example into a post will make it more and more attractive. Notice the difference in size if you put a picture and a plane text. Let say if you post a quote, putting a picture of a person who said that thing will make it more attractive than the pure text alone. When you discuss on a particular thing, search the net for possible photo you can include, well most of the facebook users look more on graphical elements when they scroll down their newsfeeds, if you got something to caught their eyes, they might pause for a while and check out your post. Uploading videos on facebook is also far better, rather putting it on a different site (like youtube.com) then use the link for a post. Facebook videos use a bigger thumbnails, making it more eye-catching, youtube to add some details plays or buff a bit slower, hitting the video seeker back or replaying it is really annoying for slow internet users. Unlike facebook, you can watch the vid as many as you want with no lag and interruption as long as the video is fully buff.

Considering all these points I’ve discussed will make your page dominate Facebook.

To warn you, keep in mind that there is no actual facebook auto page liker. If you found any similar thing on the internet, it’s a hoax, may contain viruses and spyware that tries to hijack or takeover your account. Don’t be fooled, there is NO software, and NO website that can really give such boosts on likes, but the fact that it is being gained by the right method and techniques. If you know someone who manage or own a page, help them by showing my article.
