by trnz
6 replies
I'm fed up messing about. How can I change my friends into fans? I'm looking for a power solution. Drastic or not. as long as it happens NOW.
A gun to the head way is needed lol. I love the 80/20 law let's see some 80/20 thinking. I have about 5 years to live. I'm not interested in campaigns.
There's the challenge. I need cleverness not donkey work. Can you help?

    Do you offer value in your fanpage? If you do, you need to take advantage of that value and highlight it in your personal profile as well as your fanpage. There is no other way to get your friends to become your fans. They need to see that there is some sort of point in liking your fan page. If they find value, they will like it - it's as simple as that.

    However, be careful not to over-promote your fanpage. Share with them stuff they may find of value that is not necessarily generating an income for you. You have to impress them if you need to win them over.

    I hope that helps

    If it are real friends just tell them to please like your page and you would really appreciate it? That's what friends are here for, helping you out .

    I rarely ask friends to like my pages, unless it's a personal page. Just a waste of time, they won't be targeted, and some of them may remove you for being annoying. Best thing to do is run a few campaigns on Facebook but if you don't have the budget try contacting fanpages that are bigger then yours, in your niche. You may or may not get a reply back but it's 10x more worth it then go after random Facebook friends.

    The most important thing to do to convert your friends to fans is to do something so great that you really impress them. Try thinking about this from the perspective of the friends. How often do you Like your friends' Pages? I've done it on a few occasions- for people playing in really great bands, and for two friends in particular who've gotten incredibly, inspiring-ly fit.

    That's the "clever" bit. Creating something so interesting that your friends sign up without you having to ask them. Donkey work may be a part of that somewhere, though.

    I see you're working on something called "The Happy People". Is this what you're trying to get more fans for?
