How to grow a "funny picture" fan page?

Hey

I need some help here please..

I have a "funny pictures" website and also I have a fan page connected with the website. Now I have around 3000 fans but the growing is very slowly, and these fans are from some status updates I've bought on other pages.

I've seen similar pages growing like crazy from day to day but this is not happening to my page...

Please don't tell me to publish quality content because I already do that and my fans are very involved with shares, likes comments and so on...

Here's what I already did

I have a contest on the website for people who likes us on facebook
I have a "fan of the week" section with prizes
I've bought status updates on several other pages and still do
I have Mgid and 2leep for traffic exchange

I've tried promoted posts (works well) and fb ads (too expensive)
What to do to accelerate the likes?

Thanks

    Sounds like you're already doing everything that you should be. Do you tell people to like your Facebook page in each post and add the URL to that page on every image?

    Agreeing with above, if you are already doing it all then you are off to a good start. Are you crosspromoting also?

    Have you tried just using the Facebook advertising?

    If you start today you can definitely launch a successful campaign for the recent election.

    Example

    Message - "Like if you voted for Obama" , with a funny picture of him to the side.

    If i were you, in every day life, there are funny quotes or situation with our friends, workmates and even family members... create a picture out of it and then post it to your fan page and then drive traffic to your website.. note, picture is not need to be decent.. u dont need skills to do this..

    important there is what the picture's message.. just my two cents..

    FB ads are too expensive? Facebook ads are one of the cheapest ways to get Likes. You said you're running contests on your website for Facebook fans. You need to run a FB contest on your actual FB page and run ads for the contest. If you make a great ad, you'll be able to get your CPC down considerably (under $0.10/click). For image heavy FB fan pages, this is actually pretty easy to do. I'm getting a $0.01 CPC for one of my campaigns right now.

    If it's funny enough to like and share by enough people, the chain reaction will grow. Then once that page with that picture is popular enough, you may be able to throw a little bit of marketing in there.

    Use Free like exchange sites to grow your fans for free and quickly.
    You don't need to have content, just exchange your likes.
    I mean just click the like button on these sites, how many you click likes, how many likes to your fans page in return.
    some sites like socialmediaexplode.com, likemode.com ...
    You can easily to google "free like exchange" to find more tool sites like that.

    You need to become fans of similar pages using your fanpage account, and then post comments on these other fan pages. It will help increase likes dramatically.

  • Hi there! If you've done the advertising, in facebook and other social media, then you've done the first step. If you already have fans/people who like your page, treasure them by regular updates on your page. If your people like your posts, they will share it and other people would know. Sometimes, you just have to wait for a greater result. It is not a one time process though.

    Just keep quality posts and you can reach your target goal as time pass by.

    Good luck with that! Just enjoy what you're doing and you will harvest good fruits soon.
