Facebook Fan Pages - How To Create An Effective Facebook Fan Page That Attracts Fans Automatically

Are you wondering why your Facebook Fan Page is just sitting idle and not growing as fast as these other fan pages you see? Are you stuck under a couple hundred fans and can't figure out why your page isn't growing. Make these 5 changes and your fan page will start to explode.

1.) Choose a Better Fan Page Name

Now you might not want to start completely over if your page already has a good amount of fans, but if not, you might consider creating a new page with a better name. Hey, it's free to create a new page and takes about 5 minutes. Choose a name with some good keywords in the title. Model it like so [Business Name - Benefit Your Business Gives the Customer]

2.) Change Your Boring Image!

Your image is the first thing people see when they search for you and when they land on your page. Let your image convey what you're all about and even use your image to tell fans what to do next. Your image can actually become your biggest fan generator.

3.) Change Your Page's Settings

Edit your page settings and allow users to connect with each other by posting images and videos. Some pages block this feature and their page suffers because of it. I would suggest blocking the ability to allow fans to post links, because it only invites SPAM. But be sure to monitor comments and respond directly to them, engaging further with your fans and proving that you're alive behind the computer screen.

4.) Create a Custom Landing Tab Using the Static FBML Application

This is rule #1 if you want your Fan Page to grow. Stop sending your users to the Wall or Details tab! This accomplishes nothing for you business and serves no purpose. Create a landing page like you would for your site, embed that into Facebook and start using your fan page to capture leads and force people to become fans. You'll be amazed at the results.

5.) Use Facebook's Fan Page Insights Application

Facebook provides free analytics for your page and best of all, your fans. You can learn more about your audience in 5 minutes than Google Analytics can tell you in a lifetime. Companies will pay thousands of dollars for the kind of research that Facebook willingly hands over to you. Use this information to get to know your fans, prospects, and customers in order to better serve them with exactly what they're looking for.
