3 Surefire Ways To Get More Likes On Your Facebook Page (For Free)
One of the most common questions for those starting out on social media is how can they build an audience. It is very easy on a new Facebook page. For anyone that is on a shoestring budget, up to a point, it is even free.
I recently had to set up another Facebook page for a non-profit and here are some of the steps I took to grow the reach of the page in no time flat.
Firstly, dive into your admin panel on your Facebook page and look for the tab Build Audience:
1. Invite personal friends
Facebook allows you to invite your personal friends. The more admins you have in your page, the more friends you can invite. The more you reach. So make a few influential people in your network admins and show them how to invite their networks.
2. Use your database
Do you have an email database? If you have less than 5,000 likes that most pages have, you can export up to 7,000 contact emails directly into Facebook. 7,000!!!! You can grow from woe to woahhhh in no time flat. It’s brilliant and it works.
There are a few more advanced ways to advertise on Facebook with email addresses. That make it incredibly effective for the budget conscious. I’ve used it and it works. That secret sauce will have to wait until another post.
3. Email your database
Email your database and give them an excuse to visit your Facebook page. Pick a topic or a question and ask them to answer it on the page. It is a simple and free way to leverage your existing audience.

Steve, great suggestions. This is one of those things that you may have thought about but never after on. The ways you break down the simplicity of each suggestion makes it too easy to ignore.
I, too, am excited about the uses of email lists and like audiences in FB. I haven’t dabbled yet, but I will be!
Thx.
Hi Dave, Great to hear from you! Email is super efficient in targeting and a great idea for start ups. You can use the same list to advertise to them down the track to like your page if they didn’t take it up the first time.
If you have an email list/database and a little budget the best way we’ve seen to get likes is to run a paid campaign which shows your ad to those on your email list who don’t already like your page. By far this is the cheapest and most effective paid FB campaign we’ve ever run.
Great to hear from you Darren!
That was the secret sauce I was talking about Darren down the track 😉
I actually have another one up my sleeve that would be perfect for you 🙂 coffee? or phone perhaps.
I did a test to make sure it works and it is a very, very specific audience wise so it would be to audiences that would know you but maybe haven’t gone social with you yet.
