Hi everybody! My name is Matt and I’m a Social Media Manager here at Volusion. Welcome to Two Minute Tuesdays, where we give you two minutes of ecommerce advice to bolster your online success.

With hundreds of millions of fans flocking to Facebook pages, I’m sure you’re wondering how to get a bigger slice of that pie. This is why I’ve put together this list of four easy ways to get more Facebook fans overnight.

First, try adding a fan gate. A fan gate can be compared to a landing page for your website, but it’s on Facebook. So, when people come to your Facebook page, they’ll see this default message that prompts them to “like” your page.  If you don’t have a lot of experience with building custom pages on Facebook, there are tons of free tools out there, so just start a Google search and get started with your fan gate.

Another great idea to get more fans is by running contests on your Facebook page. There are also several free tools to help you build your Facebook contest. Remember, there’s nothing wrong with bribing customers to like you, and doing so with a contest is a great way to double your Facebook base overnight.

Third, this one is really easy and is my go-to recommendation: simply ask your customers to “like” you. With a database full of customers, the easiest thing you can do is blast them with an email that contains a very simple call-to-action to “like” your business on Facebook. You’ll be surprised at how many people actually do that as long as you ask them.

Last, add your social icons everywhere. Put them in the template of your website, add them to your emails and put them on any print materials that you have. Remember, the more often that you remind people of your Facebook page, the more likely they’ll come to it and the more likely they’ll “like” you.

If you’re looking to double your Facebook fans overnight, this list of four tips is definitely your fast track to success.

If you have any questions about social media or ecommerce, we’re always happy to help.

From me to you, happy selling!
