Are you looking for more fans on Facebok? Spending a short length of time doing the right thing could greatly help get your fan page off the ground. Here are some great tips for getting more fans

Invite allyour friends to become fans using the "suggest to friends" button on your fanpage. This may seem obvious or it may be completely over-looked, however it is the fastest & simplest way to kick start your page. Common sense would therefore tell you that the more friends you have the more people you can suggest your page to!

Use Facebook ads to target the people most likely to become a fan. You can setup ads with a very small sum of money and pay a price per click or pay for a set number of impressions. Test out various ads and see what works best. The ads are easy to setup regardless of your technical know-how. The great thing about a Facebook ad for a fan page is that the ad displays a "become a fan" button which makes it really easy for anyone just to click and join!

Use your current mailing list and make sure everyone knows about your new page. Most people who are on the internet daily have a Facebook account but they would not know to go looking for your brand. Make them aware it exists.

Provide incentives for new members. Give them good reasons to become a fan such as a coupon, competition or regular offers via the fan page.

Use your other social networks to spread awareness; twitter, youtube, googlebuzz, myspace ect can all be exploited.

Use the Notes application with an RSS Feed from a Blog to provide constant quality content. You can easily import a blog from your website. Go to the Notes tab/applications, click the Import a blog link (on the right side of the page). Enter the URL of your blog into the text box, and agree to Terms of Use. Complete the process by clicking on "Save Settings." Watch your posts automatically arrive in Facebook!

Use the share button to post your page to your profile or email it tofriends. Encourage current fans to do the same!

Find out what your fans like by looking at your insights - if they like video give them more video!

Customize your landing page using FBML There are specialists who can do this for you and make landing pages that encourage users to become fans by offering them something. Technical skills are required for this as the page needs to be coded. There are companies that can do this such as spiderhousepr.

It's hard to get fan pages off the ground without putting some (or all) of the above into action. It takes fans to make fans so do what you can to get them & keep them active!

The simplest thing to do is use the "suggest to friends" button. If you have loads of friends this will have the biggest impact in the least amount of time so go get more friends!
