MenuWhat are the best practices in generating millions of likes on a Facebook Page?
I've seen several popular pages on FB (higher perspective, brain picks, positive world...) and wonder:how much they invest to reach millions of likes?
It cannot be only organic, correct?
I would like to know if there are techniques or investment strategies to reach these numbers?
Answers
Most of those are very good at syndicating content. Because Facebook doesn't do much in terms of copyright infringement, people can take great content from other places and use it for their own pages. If you do that and include a paid strategy behind it, you have the ability to grow your page quickly.
Distribution & Syndication is the name of the game...Most aren't aware that when your content is shared & liked by those not following your page, you are then given the opportunity to manually invite them to your page.
If you can find a collection of niche groups within facebook & share the content that speaks directly to them- you can jumpstart the engagement that could lead to lots more engagement.
Of course there is a lot more ways to distribute-- but i've found this one the most effective.
If you have any questions or want to screenshare as i walk you through this-- lemme know! :D
There is no specific way to accumulate millions of followers on Facebook but instead overtime and through testing content strategies it's possible to get there.
You are right in assuming that a lot of this is not organic. Facebook as a platform is becoming more PAY-TO-PLAY, so creating a huge following without paid initiatives is very difficult.
It starts with content when looking for strategies to reach these levels. By identifying low effort, high reward content types and testing their validity through short term paid promotions, you can get immediate feedback from your target audience around if they found value from it. From there you should begin to double down on what's working and find ways to enable this content machine to keep running.
I wouldn't overlook the monetization of this audience though. Building an audience for maybe "1 day" monetizing it is foolish.
If you want discuss in more detail specific strategies for building a following for your idea, feel free to schedule a call.
I recommend engagement with your target market via Facebook groups. Post related content that enhances the group and doesn't sound like a sales pitch. Do this in multiple groups and the likes will come.
In short--make great, relevant content and promote it to your target audience... easy right? Well, it depends on the content (obviously).
Honest question: why do you want millions of followers on facebook? It seems like an arbitrary goal--not a bad goal, but I need to understand what value it has to your business needs.
There are different ways of getting likes to your page.
FACEBOOK PAID CAMPAIGNS:
Facebook has different type of paid ad campaigns. In order to get more likes you should combine these two:
- Traffic Campaign: the objective of this campaign is to send more traffic to your website. The ad contains the "like" icon and therefore your likes are going to automatically increase while users visit your website.
- Brand Awareness Campaign: The ad also contains the "like" icon and it's used specifically to get more like volume. (if user clicks on the ad, it is not re-directed to the website).
- Boost Posts: Boosting posts that had previously acquired good engagement on organic. If you know that organically have been doing good, then go ahead an boost them (paid).
FACEBOOK ICONS AND LINKS
Make sure that your website and blog has the Facebook icon. And in your emails and newsletters!
CAMPAIGN INIATIVES
New campaigns iniatives (to push on every channel): for example a give away or contest. Users are able to enter on a give away or contest if they provide their email and like your page (be careful and don't go crazy asking the user to do too many things as it has been proved that more than 2-3 things is way too much). There are some easy to use platform that help you creating these contests.
Hope this helps!

What is the best advertising platform for generating revenue for a skincare startup (1 product offer)?
Hi There are Facebook advertising techniques that would allow you to target competitors followers, related beauty or skincare pages followers then target them with your advert going to a landing page with a buy now unmissable offer to capitalise on your conversions. Because most people do not buy first time, I would then re-target them with the offer on their Facebook newsfeed so they do not forget you, adding to your conversion. Facebook is by far the cheapest for adverts Google would be crazy prices for this type of product. You could also look at placing with affiliates and let them do all of the marketing work and your cost would be fixed, but there is a lot of competition for affiliates in this sector so maybe difficult. If done right on Facebook with a laser targeted campaign with landing page you should be looking at $0.25 to $0.30 per 1,000 views with a decent conversion making the cost per conversion very low. When you target people you know would be interested in your product it is always best to do a CPM campaign rather than a CPC as this is a waste of money, if launching this product there is no market price other than competitors products so you can show it as a high price then do a landing page with a launch offer only available for a limited time with a count down clock, even offer referral discounts if they share on Facebook. Hope this helpsMM

What is the difference between #topics and precise interests when choosing audience on Facebook ads?
Topic targeting is a broad way of targeting people who've expressed interest in that topic or "related topic". It's a good option if you want to create awareness, do branding or generate likes. But when your end goal is sales/leads - it's good to go for precise interests as that's like exact match - and it ensures that you're reaching only those people which you're actually targeting - not related ones.KS

I have a facebook group with over 6000 members. It is a lot of admin-work. How can I make profit out of this group?
There are different ways that you can make a profit from a Facebook group. The key is to understand your audience and know what type of services/products they would be interested in. You can charge businesses or companies that are looking to target that specific audience a flat fee and post their products/services on their behalf. You can add affiliate links for products or services that are relevant to your audience and earn commissions on the sales/leads generated from those links. You can sell advertising on a CPC basis. Etc...EH

How do you build social media presence up before a product launch?
It can certainly be tough to build up a substantial follower base, starting from nothing or very little, especially if you haven't launched your product yet. But here are a few tactics to help you get in front of more people pre-launch: 1) Start sharing tons of useful content. Before you bother sending people to your Twitter feed or Facebook page, you want to make sure they'll find something valuable once they get there. If you have the time, create original content that ties into your industry, your product, or your company in some way (without directly promoting yourself, though). If you don't have the bandwidth to create your own content, find other articles from bloggers you admire or experts in your industry, and share their content. Just make sure you're putting out information that's highly relevant and valuable to the audience you're trying to attract so you can engage them once they find you. 2) Create conversation. The people who aren't following you yet aren't seeing your tweets, so how do you show them value and get them to discover you? Start a conversation! At Change Collective, we're rolling out our first course on Becoming an Early Riser. So I'll do a Twitter search for "need to wake up earlier" and find a bunch of people who are tweeting about the exact problem we're setting out to solve. By favoriting their tweets or replying with -- "That's great! We think we can help - check out our newest course & let us know what you think!" -- I'm getting our product on their radar and simultaneously providing value to them. 3) Ask for help. Start with your fellow team members, and ask them to share the company's Facebook posts or retweet some of your tweets. You can even create lazy tweets for them to share. What about your board members? Advisors? VCs? They all have a stake in helping your company grow awareness and adoption, so find an easy and appropriate way for them to help by leveraging their networks. And if you have friends and family who are excited about your business and supportive of what you're doing, they probably won't mind a friendly request to help spread the news every once in a while. Hope this helps! I just joined an early-stage startup and I'm currently building up our marketing from scratch. Happy to jump on a call and offer some tips from the trenches if you'd like. Best of luck!SB

How did Snapchat boast a solid user base within a short period of time, compared to Facebook and Twitter?
I've been in the picture messaging space for a while now with my apps Lutebox (voted one of London's top ten most loved apps) and now Click Messenger. I've written a few articles about the space including a recent post about the Future of Mobile Messaging. Snapchat started out as an app called Picaboo, which pretty much did what it does now (prior to the latest update with chat and video calling). They quickly rebranded but saw a little uptake in user numbers and had quite low downloads for several months. Then around Christmas 2011 one of the founders' mom had told her friend about the app, who told her kid and her kid basically then spread the word throughout their high school in L.A. That was what really blew up their download numbers as it spread across teenagers at local high schools. As far as I know they didn't advertise in the early days, relied solely on word of mouth. Also it is assumed that they have a solid user base. Comparatively speaking, their user base may be in the low tens of millions, which may a great base of users, but nowhere even close to being as big as Facebook or Twitter. I'd be happy to speak about this in more detail or about the picture messaging landscape and what I believe to be the future of mobile messaging.AA
