Five Minute Marketing: How to Immediately Get More Facebook Likes...for Free!
The title of this post may sound gimmicky, but I’m not into gimmicks…just marketing advice that is 100% true and 100% helpful…yet easy to implement at the same time. That said, let me jump right into the easiest way to increase your Facebook likes for free!
The truth is, as much as it seems like the opposite is true, Facebook wants your business page to succeed. The happier you are with the results you see, the more advertising dollars they get and the more satisfied the consumer (aka anyone not running a business) is, which leads to their own business success. Yes, they have become a ‘pay-to-play’ platform in many respects, but they offer the most options for getting to know who your ideal customer truly is…and reaching them quickly and easily, even if you have to pay a little to do that.
A few years ago, Facebook introduced the ‘invite’ feature. If your post is popular enough to gain a few likes beyond your current fan page, you’re in luck! You are now able to invite potential customers to hit ‘like’ on your page if they simply interact with a post you made. This means that when someone shares your post with their friends who then interact with it, you are more likely to gain new followers (and hopefully new customers!) as a result. So how do you do that? Here’s a step-by-step tutorial about inviting people to like your Facebook business page.
1) First, navigate to your Facebook business page, then scroll down and click the most recent post. If you are on your phone, open the Facebook pages app and tap the most recent post you made.
2) Right where it shows the number of people who engaged with that post, click or tap on the number of engagements you have. This will show a list of people who interacted with the post, and the current status of their interactions with your page. (Note: Names are covered in these posts to protect privacy)
3) Next to each name are a few options: Liked, Invited, or Invite. ‘Liked’ means that they are already fans of your page. ‘Invited’ means that someone has invited them to like your page, but they have not yet responded (unfortunately there’s nothing you can do about that!). But the magic is when the button next to their profile picture is clickable and it says ‘Invite.’ All you have to do is tap that button, and this potential new customer will receive a notification that they are invited to like your page.
Now let me caveat: not everyone will respond to that invitation, and it’s not an automatic yes. Some will, however, and those who are interested in your page might very well be interested in your product. All that it cost you is a little bit of time, and you can easily increase your Facebook page likes with this simple method.
There’s your simple hack for increasing Facebook likes…so go and do! And let me know how you grow! Watch this video for step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process.
