Over the last couple of days, we’ve discussed setting up your Facebook account and the content you should post on your walls. Today we will go over how to grow your Facebook Network. All your great content will be for not if you have no one to read it.
Step 4 – The first thing you can do is to put out tons of great content. Comment on your friends posts and be helpful or encouraging. Make sure your bring them value. It is a good idea not to be the first person to make a comment. Every time you make a comment to a post everyone before you will get a notice about it. By waiting a bit you will be visible to more people at once. It is also a good idea to make a comment to another specific comment. Make sure you name who you are commenting about. It will help draw attention to your self and make people feel good that they was noticed. If you bring value to them they will be inclined to visit your Facebook profile or page and become your friend or follower.
It is also good to go to other Facebook Pages that you have followed and do the same thing. Make sure you are using Facebook as the correct entity when you do that. You should be using Facebook as your page when visiting other pages instead of your profile if you are trying to grow your Facebook Fan Page. You can find the tab to switch profiles on the right column of your page or in the drop down menu on the top right of your page. Using this technique you never want to be argumentative or controversial. Always be likable and bring value to the post feed. You do not want to be spamming other pages with your network marketing products or company either. It is a good way to get unfriended or blocked from pages. That being said if you can provide a solution to a problem that is valuable to that person it wouldn’t be bad to send them a message in private. Again don’t be spammy about it. Let them know that you saw they had such and such problem. You may not be interested and that’s ok but this has helped me or my friend out a lot. Let me know what you think.
It is good to do a targeted search for Facebook Pages that you want to follow. For example you can do a search for other network marketers, home based businesses, work from home moms, specific network marketing companies, professionals (realtors, bankers, mortgage brokers, sales people, marketers), or even specific activities such as fitness, collectors, yoga, etc. Look for pages that will be a good fit for you and your company.
Next send out 25 friend request daily to people in your targeted pages. Make sure you send a message with each request. For example, “I totally agree with the comment you made about The Slight Edge on Jeff’s fan page. I see you have a home business. How’s that working for you” or “Hey! I’m Lynn Herman. How are you doing? What do you do for a living?” By always asking a question in your message you are encouraging conversions with them which will build relationship and trust with them. You want to let them know you really care about them and have a solution to help them.
It is also a good idea to go to blogs and leave comments. This is the place where you want to be one of the first comments on the page and be visible. Be sure your comment is pertinent to the blog post. You don’t want to just start spamming blogs. At the end of your comment you can leave your Facebook Page address for them. For example “I love this Facebook Training series you’ve given Lynn. Have you thought of creating a signature in your emails and text messages with your Facebook Page address on them? www.facebook.com/lynnhermanfanpage.
