Can you please read this thread? thanks:)

Before we get to your questions, you have to understand there a lot of factors to consider.

-What's your niche?
-What are you selling?
-500 likes isn't very much, it's not even close to being close to being enough
-Even if it was in the 100X more, it depends also on the demographic, buying power, affinity to your products/offers, etc


Now the questions --

-How do you get great content for your followers? Create or find share-able content highly relevant to your audience. If you're a good writer, make that work for you. You don't have to be perfect, sometimes, you just have to make sense.

-How much do you post per/day, per/week? Depends on engagement, size of page, quality of users. I do at least 2 a day on my largest pages. These don't have to be extensive posts; many times, sharing a relevant meme or inspirational image or video is enough.

-What is your little secret to build trust with your followers? Consistency. Reply. Reply. Reply. Engage, ask questions, and answer questions, post controversial stuff (controversial to the niche, not in general). If there's a conversation going on, on one of your posts, jump in.


I agree with the above, regarding ads.. Ads can help. But you have to set goals and optimize toward them. Actually, you have to know what goals to set. Be sure you have the right goals.

Worst thing you could do is run ads blindly.

Hi Yao, I'd recommend starting a blog and posting to it once/twice a week. Then you have 1 or 2 posts automatically every week and it's bringing traffic back to your site. Also, share other relevant content from other FB pages in your niche about once a day to keep an active presence.

Hope this helps!

Yao,

I would suggest sitting down and brainstorming 100 posts you would like to make on your Facebook page. Take these 100 posts and pop them in the Hootsuite CSV Template. Follow the formatting and schedule each update once every three days. You can do this easily in the date field by setting the first one, making the next one that cell plus three, and drag that column down to the bottom of your list.

Once you have done that, sign up on Hootsuite and connect your Facebook account, then upload that CSV file. It should set the posts to schedule at the times input on the Excel sheet. At this point, you have updates that will go out every three days regardless of whether or not you post something. This is good to show activity and engagement. Then you can put your focus on the other post ideas and methods suggested by other members in the thread.

If you've got questions or anything, feel free to ask me here. I run a digital branding and reputation management firm, and social media automation post-contract is a big part of the end goal. Thanks.
