Don't buy FB likes. What's the best organic way to get likes?

Ok, but you can buy around 1,000 likes at the beginning and then you can start building slowly your own likes. It will be a good boost for your facebook page.

Content is a trick with social media. Content for SEO works great and it does play well for sites where you publish the content to social media but it is really important to think outside the box when trying to grow your fan page. Buying likes is only useful when you are trying to "look" larger than you are.. however most internet or social marketing people can figure it out pretty quick.

One of the ways we found that works is a combination between IM and applying some strategies to your social media marketing without spending any money on Ads initially.

You have to start with the company and how they are working with clients right now. Do you have email lists, do you have a database? Use that first. Then work with others in the industry, your "evangelical" customers and get them to "invite" friends to your page as an advertiser level admin if you want to get really creative.

Finally make sure to use Facebook applications. There are a ton of types of app's available in the market but you can find some gem's. We currently use Facebook contests to drive our client pages, collect email information, and reward those who refer others to the contest.

You work the entire process as a list building exercise.

Hope that helps/answers your questions. Let me know if I can assist.

Write good sponsored posts and add post articles in relavant sites and put the facebook url and tell people about the best features and convince them to like your fanepage. It is the best option as I do for my client and for my services also.

You can promote your facebook fanpage through your friends. First of all, get the like of your friends. While you will share anything in your page, it will appear in your friends wall. Their friend's will be able to see them. If they found it useful and interesting, they will like your page. Also, you can request some popular page owners to have a ad status in their wall about your page. They may will take a little payment from you but it will work better than facebook ads.

One thing i tried that worked well is to write a compelling document, say 20 pages. Then split it into two - the "conclusion" is part2. Then GIVE part1 out, and then have a php coder write a page so that they only get access to part2 if they do a "facebook" like. This has the added bonus of not only getting the like, but also advertises part1 in their timeline to their friends.... who then download Part1 which is so compelling they want Part2... :-)

We can also gained likes if you have your giveaway to your readers / visitors

To let people become your fan, you need to give them value.
The best way to do it is to write informative articles on your
blog and put a 'Like' and 'share' buttons on your blog. After posting
a new article, share it with your existing fans and encourage them
to share your fan page with others. You can offer them something
free after they 'share' your fan page with others. There're a lot of
viral scripts there which can redirect your fan to any page after
they 'Like' or 'Share' your fan page.

Buying fans or likes is really a waste of time. You need to get them
in a genuine way as you can get benefit only from the genuine fans.
Currenly, I've around 15600 fans for my fan page which I created just
4 months ago. I am offering them quality contents and encouraging
them to share the page with others.

I tried Facebook ads in the beginning and got some good number of fans
but it was a bit costly. Thereafter I found this very useful method to get
Facebook likes and it helped a lot. It shows how to create a viral effect of
your fan page and get exposure for your FB page in the beginning.

You need to join social media exchange systems..

Join websites with like exchanges where there are true people joining, who'll like links for credits. These credits in turn are exchanged for likes which they can use for their own FB pages and links.

Facebook ads is probably the best way to get likes. It can be very cheap if you are using sponsored stories and posts.

I've had success with running ads and with building relationships and inviting people. The most interactive fans are those who I connect with as a friend and then invite. A lot of people fail at this approach because they're too busy trying to be interesting and not showing any interest in their fans, that's how you get engagement.

Ofcourse you will not go to the same direction all the time .
As internet marketing company , not necessary only talk about SEO .
You can share more like social media marketing, digital advertise marketing, SEM , some tech news, some internet news, some hosting and domain news

Because some of them might know the knowledge that why you need update them what the latest or remind them what they miss up to focus which you can help them .

Most organic way to get fans is from youtube, blog and your website because they read and view your sharing only become your fans.

Facebook ads work well to get some new likes.
If you would like to get more and more direct approach, then you should create and use your personal profile, search people are in your target audience. Add them and start talking!

Just post your FB link on your site. If people really like your goods and services then they'll "like" you.

Well, I'm pretty much agreed on your point "The days of buying fake FB pages/likes are over." Fake likes will not help anymore instead it will risk your FB page receives ban hammer from Facebook. Also I want to mention pay likes is good but would cost you a fortune, that's why I would recommend using a wp plugin called http://likejackninja.com to gain real likes and save up the costs.
