Once you have your\u00a0Facebook business page<\/a>\u00a0up and running, you\u2019ll want to start growing your\u00a0audience there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, if you don\u2019t have likes or engagement on your page, there\u2019s really no point in having one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you get started?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest questions we get from clients with new Facebook pages is: how do I get likes? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, you\u2019ll find you\u2019ll organically increase your audience. Until then, how do you start gaining the right kind of target audience? Here are 4 easy steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Ask your friends and family.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you have a new Facebook page, inviting friends and family is a great way to start building an audience. They\u2019ll also help when it comes to initial engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Remember that Facebook\u2019s News Feed is built on an algorithm based on likes and comments; the more you have of each, the more likely your fans will see your posts.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To invite friends and family, simply go to your business page and click the \u201c\u2026\u201d under your cover photo. From the dropdown menu, select \u201cInvite Friends\u201d and choose the friends you\u2019d like to invite to like your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your friends will receive a notification from you, telling them you invited them to like your page. From there, it\u2019s up to them to like it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Make it clear you\u2019re using social media.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many new businesses miss the mark here and don\u2019t shout from the rooftops that they\u2019re using social media. Make sure you include social media links everywhere you can, so that your audience knows you\u2019re online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Header\/footer of your website<\/li>
  • Social sharing tools<\/li>
  • Other social media accounts<\/li>
  • Your personal social accounts<\/li>
  • Email signature<\/li>
  • Business card<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
