Do you want to promote your latest business venture and need Facebook Page Likes?

Perhaps you’ve been doing stand-up for a while and want greater visibility. Whatever the reason, you’ve decided it’s time to set up a Facebook page and leverage your social standing through Facebook Page Likes.

However, it isn’t always as simple as it looks. Of course, a popular actor only has to tweet out her page and instantly gain a few hundred thousand likes. It probably won’t be that easy for you. In fact, even the initial hundred likes can be a difficult to attain milestone. But don’t fret. This article is going to take you through the basic steps to your first century.

1. Set Up the Page

Before you click on that “Create Page” link, stop and think for a while. Take some time to determine what you want your page to convey to the audience. It’s important to fully understand the essence of your venture first. Say that you’re a stand-up comic. What then is the purpose of your page? Make a list of the goals you want the page to achieve. You may want to reach a wider audience, and to promote events you’re participating in. You may also want to sell merchandise such as T-shirts and mugs. Plan out your page before you actually create it. It is also a good idea to create a stylised logo or customised cover page beforehand. After all, the page is part of your brand, and you want your brand properly represented.

Once you know the scope of the page, create it. Select the type of page you want to create from the list of options, and then give your page a catchy name. Fill out the page in detail – add a picture and cover image, and use the ‘add a button’ widget to allow visitors to easily take actions like making purchases. And don’t make the mistake of leaving the ‘About’ section bland. Make sure it’s as unique and memorable as anything you intend to post if you want genuine Facebook Page Likes.

2. Share it with Your Friends

Most people have sizeable friend lists. Yours probably has at least around 200 people. This is your starting base. Send invites to everyone on your list. Then follow up with close friends, and people who would find your page especially relevant. Send them messages through Facebook Inbox to both Facebook Page Like and Share the page. Do take care to ask them to like the page itself, and not some random post that you have put up. This should net you around 30 to 40 likes at the very least. It’s important, at this and every stage, to regularly update your page with relevant content that will keep viewers interested. The quality of your content is paramount to the success of your page.

3. Use Paid Campaigns

You can get only so far with organic shares. At some point, you will have to invest in a paid campaign in order to increase your reach. Start with £50 to boost a well-liked post to a specific target of customers. Through pay monthly marketing services, you should be able to reach a much larger segment of people who would be interested in your page.
