Makes sense when you think about it that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve come up with FOUR really easy ways to increase your Facebook followers\u2026for FREE. \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Use the space you are given. By using high-res photos, videos and infographics your brand\u2019s page becomes appealing to the eye and makes your customers want to stick around. These images are perfect for telling the story of who you are, how you came to be, and what you have to offer. They are wonderful at showing behind-the-scenes and showcasing new products, industry news, awards you\u2019ve received and adding backing to your legitimacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spammers don\u2019t have time to create all of that, so by you doing so, you will gain the trust of your potential clients. Win, Win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t make your entire Facebook page (or any page for that matter) ALL about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nobody likes to talk to those types of people in person, so they\u2019re sure as hell not going to spend time doing it online. Facebook is about networking and connecting \u2013 share stories, spotlight products, brag on your current fans, like posts and images. It\u2019s a natural human reaction to WANT to be involved with something you like, make them like you \u2013 by liking them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I preach content (+ engaging with fans) like it\u2019s a religion. Without content, you don\u2019t have a site\/blog. Make sure it\u2019s quality content with good, easy-to-re-post images. Then share your knowledge and do it often. Give people a reason to keep coming back. Show them why they should follow you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m not saying you have to cure world hunger (but imagine how viral THAT post would be!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s as simple as:<\/strong> high quality content creates more shares, comments, likes, reposts, followers, etc\u2026 \u2013 more of those things creates more traffic and higher page-view rankings, which in turn leads even more potential clients to your blog\/site. Recycle, Rinse, Repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use your analytics.<\/strong> Create a Target Audience Profile and cater to their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Know what age, gender, career, country, customs\/traditions, economic status, personality traits, etc.. your audience fits into. Yes, it will vary some, but not as much as you\u2019d think \u2013 and if it does, you need to whittle it down more. Watch for which posts get the most action and then do more like that. The more information you can get about your audience the faster your fan base will grow and by default the more business you will get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So there it is: How to Increase Your Facebook Followers Like A Rockstar! It really all boils down to knowing your audience and being authentic. Share what you love and the followers will find you.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did you know that over 1\/2 of the population prefers a brand\u2019s Facebook Page over their website?
