How to get FB likes or shares?

What is the best way to get legit facebook likes or shares? Is there a simple, cost efficient way to quickly get these? I am fairly new to FB fanpages and have setup a couple, but I can't get anybody to visit my pages. Any help you can give me I would greatly appreciate!

      Dan's content is irregularly read by handfuls of people. Join the elite few by reading his blog: dcrBlogs.com, following him on Twitter: dcrTweets.com or reading his fiction: dcrWrites.com but NOT by Clicking Here!

      Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.

    It's free. Just be consistent. Make your page engaging and lively. Use your fan page to comment and ask questions on popular comment threads to get more exposure. People will like your page this way. Another is to use the questions feature every now and then. When someone answers a question, it will show in the news feed and ticker. So make use of it. Then whenever you make a new friend request, you can share your page at the bottom.

    For shares, it's all about sharing quality compelling content. Don't be boring though. It would be good to be informative, social and entertaining. Those 3 are irresistible. People will love you and share your stuff if you're like that.

    If you write good content people will share it. Personally, I wouldn't like sharing crap.

    First of, get your family and friends to join your page. I don't think asking your friends and family to like your content is a crime so do that. Like are actually viral once you start getting them people follow suit and add more. Try to expand your community as much as you can by participating in discussions etc.

    Make sure you ASK for the likes and shares.

    Obviously if you make a video, ask them to subscribe to your channel, like you on facebook, retweet the video, etc. "If you believe in karma, like me a facebook!" ... is one of my calls to action. 1,620 likes and counting...

      the more traffic you have coming to your FB page and the more great quality content you have on there people will naturally click the "Like" button.

      I would suggest that you find a way to integrate your FB page with all your marketing, and get people involved with your discussions.

      Also, try giving something away for free on your page in exchange for a Like.

      If all else fails you can always go on Fiverr and pay $5 for 1,000 likes

    There is so simple solution....but try these

    1) Invite all your friends to like your page
    2) Get some Likes using something like youlikehits ....they only help you to portray social proof to genuine visitors.... these like will help you get started
    3) Use FB advertising to get genuine Likes from people relevant to you/your niche.....there are tutorials on how to do this effectively....get likes at 1-5c/like is not unusual

    Step 3 can go on for as long as you need or can afford to go....however for this to start making sense economically - you need to have great content....this will get your fans to share your content and help you organically grow the number of likes.... if you do this consistently....it grows a life of its own and you will keep getting new likes....

    Ofcourse dont forget to monetize....

    All the Best !!

      I use steps 1 and 2 on all the pages I build. I actually go to youlikehits and get around 100 likes first. Then I invite family and friends. It seems if you have the page URL set up to your specific page name and have a nice number in your like box more people start to like the page and follow along.

      So build your page add some good stuff to it.
      Now go to youlikehits and get 100 likes.
      Change your page name
      Invite family and friends.

    The best way is just to create a Fan page with valuable content, and start promoting it! Join other FB Pages related to yours, comment it with your contacts, post value in other Pages, and also in yours regularly, participate with people, be nice to them.
    Like any other traffic method, it takes time and efforts, but you can do it for free quite easily (easy is not equal to FAST, attention on that).

    Post a absolutely head-turner content for people to share it. Most people on Facebook are fond of sharing once they find the content funny or something cool and unique. I suggest you to study the behavior of the people on your niche for you to have an idea.

    Mostly what I suggest is that if the facebook page is attrective enough, then automatically you will get likes and comments more than your expectations. So the main task is decorating and designing your content in such a way that it attracts people in the first look.

    With Facebook, the key is to post only the most buzzworthy content you can think of possible. Anything other than this is pointless.

    In that respect it's the opposite of SEO, which isn't what is the most buzzworthy but rather, post as much as you can.

    Depends what you're promoting, if it's something of value and your current social media followers wiould be happy to share it to others to get access to it then check out the site in my signature, if they aren't then you're doing something wrong in the first place.

    No-one is going to "like" or share something that isn't of real value.

    Buy facebook likes! Marketing has a lot to do with getting people to join onto a hype, the hard part is creating the hype, instead you can buy real facebook likes with authentic accounts. This has been effective for me and other clients who have used me, I don't want to be pushy or sound like I'm giving a sales presentation or something but, people follow they hype, anything that looks like it has everyone interested, will attract more people!

    Excellent responses. I also suggest fiverr and the other fiverr-type sites. Gigucks, gigux, fourerr, etc. are also places where you can shop to outsource Faceook likes.

    Make sure your stuff is good, because you want growth that gets likes to influence more likes-viral is king on the internet.

    You can get FB likes easily by hiring someone on Odesk to get you FB likes. I'm not sure how real they will be, but it's possible. A better way would be to spend the time and come up with a great idea that people will naturally like (as some other people have mentioned here.) Hope that helps!

    Place buttons on your pages and make them easily visible to ensure your users can quickly click it before leaving your content, i would say at the top of the page and at the bottom just after the content so once its finished they can click it before they leave your page

        I do believe the interaction on other pages is important. Always remember to ask for what you want. Make the asking invitational in nature.

    I wouldn't worry too much about getting Facebook likes. If your content is good and valuable then your page will naturally get likes and shares.

    A report in return for a like or tweet is also being used in many places. When it's all said and done don't worry too much about likes though, focus mostly on activities that will directly make you money.

    "Like" pages that are relevant to your page. Once you've liked a significant amount of relevant pages, interact and post comments on that page's wall, posts etc.

    Create posts that people are going to want to read. Do NOT just talk about your company/products. People don't want to be sold.

    There are lots of ways you can get traffic from Facebook. To get traffic from facebook, you should have to create good profile page. You need to have post frequently with unique and useful information. You have to participate actively in your network activities. You can also use Facebook ads to increase traffic.

    Just spin some useless crap, post it on a thin wordpress blog, blast the hell out of it with useless profile backlinks and buy 1,000,000 likes on fiverr.

    Then once youve done that, post in HERE and see if anyone will help you get it out of page 450 in Google.

    Because thats where it will end up.

    Go to relevant types of pages and LIKE their page and comment on their posts. Then, if they respond (which they usually do), ask them to LIKE their page and most are happy to oblige. This works great even with new pages if you are consistent.

    Biggest thing I notice people overlook is to simply ask people and tell your friends/family to like and share the page. It's an easy network to use, you know. Posting on your site is cool, but post on a lot of people's sites that you are cool with. It's the non software and non hassle way. Otherwise, you can always go into paid advertising.

    Manually create 100s of accounts and then get them to all like your page.. but its been in the news recently that FB is cracking down on fake profiles and fake likes.

    Another solution is create a page about something that you know about and are passionate and build it up slowly to get real fans that will post genuine comments and likes and share with their friends.. that is a better strategy in my opinion, the good ol' white hat way!
