I particularly enjoy helping
heart-centred creative professionals and health care practitioners like myself
to flourish in their life journeys. Lately, I have had several requests to
share how I have so many likes on my facebook page.
I have been asked: “How have
you got so many followers? Have you been going a long time? Do you pay for
advertising? It's amazing that you have so many here and a real credit to you!”
So, in this article I would
like to share with my lovely readers how I have attracted over 2500 likes on my
facebook page, and then share 8 top tips for how you can do the same!
If you have a group,
business or subject that you are passionate about, you may have created a
facebook page as a platform to connect and interact with like-minded folk.
After enthusiastically
setting up your page, inviting everyone you know to join, and sharing some great
content, you may soon find that you have reached the limit of your contacts and
now struggling to build your community and getting little or no response for
your efforts.
As much as your nearest and
dearest love you, other than a few select loyal pals, the
majority of your personal facebook friends are not that interested in herbal remedies and inspirational
quotes from your favourite personal development gurus (in my case any way!).
After several frustrated
efforts to boost your numbers, you get despondent and wonder how exactly do
people get so many followers?
Here’s my growing facebook biz page
story…
At the time of writing this
post my page has 2651 likers. I set up my Nourish and Flourish facebook page in
February 2011, almost two and a half years ago now. I did this partly just to jump on the bandwagon. Many businesses
seemed to have their own facebook page by then so thought I'd better join in.
I also saw it as a great way
of sharing my passion for all things holistic natural health and herbal
mind-body wellness in a more focused way and reaching more people than through
my personal page alone.
What I did initially was to
go to similar themed pages (eg. holistic health and wellness) and liked and shared their pages, visiting as my Nourish and Flourish page, saying hello in
a post and what I like about their page and posts, inviting them to share
their content on my page, commenting on and liking their posts.
I have never yet paid for
advertising. I think all my followers used to get all my posts before, whereas now only about 10% do. I set my page up before FB changed the
viewing limitations in the past year so, compared to setting a new one up now, I think I was fortunate in getting a head start with page and post exposure to my existing community.
So it was easier for people
to get all my posts before, and 'like' them which encourages their communities
to visit the page and 'like' as they will sometimes see pop ups of what their
friends like.
But that was then, and now
is now! I am now getting more likes than ever before, and you may think how can you do the same?
