    Rule no1.

    The best method, in my opionion, is just posting great content, and keep posting it.
    After you have built a solid page, you should get some great headers / profile pictures.

    Then you can start to get your users. How?

    Ask similar sites for partnerships, Ive brought always like 1k likes from fiverr for 5$ which helped me, to get some deals.

    You could message similar sites with just 500 Likes, but as you have more, the owner would partner with you. He doesnt know, your likes are "botlikes".


    Good luck )

      The best way to generate traffic on Facebook is to use Facebook's ad platform! I know that this isn't the answer that you were looking for, but let me explain.

      Over the past month or so we've been doing quite a lot of tests and we have learned that the best way to drive traffic using Facebook is to have these three things:
      1. Fanpage
      2. Post on your page that contains an image and CTA
      3. Advertising budget

      What you want to do initially is to build up your fanpage: add some images, posts, videos from YouTube related to your niche and etc. In addition to this you want to add a 'CTA post' that will contain a url to your site, a little bit of copy and an image that should grab your target audience's attention.

      Once you have this post ready, you then use Facebook's add platform to drive traffic specifically to that post.

      Last week I sent some traffic to some dog training products from ClickBank and my CPC ended being $0.13. If you are building your own list, this strategy could work like gangbusters

    I think, instead of the common quick option of getting someone to send you thousands of unrelated viewers i.e from Fiverr gigs, I would echo the comment above, write quality content. May be even offer content that your viewers would normally have to pay for at other sites. Before you know it your web page will be shared and recommended to many.

    Don't give up - it takes time.

    Facebook ads and a photo contest (free with the Offerpop app on Facebook) did it for me.

    I post awesome images with calls to action on them to Like and/or Share. I also share the images on Pinterest to draw people in from that social media site.

  • Profile picture of the author MarcusJohnson
    As others would advise you, its best to just hire someone to post relevant comments or share images that are relevant to your traffic. Buying a product for facebook traffic would either end up a spam or having not so good quality facebook page. Although this method can take a little longer but its all worth it in the end.

    Pay attention to what the above people are saying about groups, this can be a huge traffic source! Don't spam, participate in them. I have had posts on my page (only 35 likes at first) go viral with over 100,000 views from groups!

    Also post on other relevant pages, comments, images likes etc ... offer to help other page admins moderate and post status updates.

    I have found recently that simply being social in related groups/pages has built up traffic. It is a simple method and not very time consuming. It also gives an insight into what others are writing about in a similar topic to yours.

    Also as mentioned a few times - do not be spammy. BE SOCIAL!

    I would buy facebook ads and then get the people to interact with the posts, getting likes and shares. I have heard sponsored post work as well. Retargeting seems to be the new "thing" people are trying where you advertise to people who were on your sales page and did not buy.

    Everyone have his best method and mine is this one:
    1. Choose the product to promote
    2. Set up Facebook Fan Page around this product
    3. Create Facebook FanPage tab (application) with opt-in inside
    4. With social lead fox software grab every facebook user interested in that niche
    5. create an add pointing it to FanPage tab inserting only that users

    Doing this way my add will show up ONLY to members interested in my niche and I will start to gain highly targeted traffic on my Facebook Fan tab.
    The rest you already know. Opt-in and autoresponder follow up series.

    You HAVE to invest in their ads. Take the time to structure
    one with the right demographics, and the frequency of "likes"
    you'll soon get will blow you away. There's power in targeting
    your audience. They already want what you have - assuming
    that you are updating the page regularly with relevant content.

    Don't short your brand or business and use Facebook Ads!

    You can send a message to users you come across, but no spam, genuine conversation and interest in them will get them to trust you.

    Also, if you focus on your target market, you can join FB groups based on that market to post your valuable content, again no spam, to reach users with similar interests.

    Running Facebook ads is hit or miss for many small business owners, but mostly because they often spend too much money and see minimal results.

    If you are looking to generate a little extra traffic to an important page/post on your site, try using Facebook’s promoted posts feature which allows you to spend as little as $5 to get your message out to a wider audience.

    I work on a small niche without a budget for the business that employees me. So I have to be creative and engage.

    I "Like" other businesses in the same niche.
    I reply to their post.
    I upload content 2 times a day - try to reschedule if topical news is more of interest that day.
    I upload coupons.
    I upload viral videos.
    I upload photos with my own captions.

    Every 'niche' is different. It's not a one-for-all strategy. Look at your insights, see what works best and what doesn't work.

    Best response I had to date was a video on how to fold your shirt under 2 seconds. Had NOTHING to do with my niche, but it was of 'general' interest to everyone.

    No budget I have to get creative.
    Hope that helps.

    It is already mentioned here. Post works. Specifically when it is a relevant, with good content, and when people can relate. Ads and Promoting in groups (not spammy) can also work, but rule #1 exists.
    Lastly, be human. try to put your foot within the shoe of the reader. And try to answer: what to post and what not?
