5 Freaky Ways to Get FB Likes That You Haven’t Thought Of

Sometimes I wish I could start a Facebook page & just watch the Likes flood in.

Unfortunately, the saying “if you build it, they will come” doesn’t apply to Facebook marketing.

Getting Likes on your page is hard work.

Don’t let anyone tell you it’s like waving a magic wand.

It’s NEVER that easy.

5 Freaky Ways to Get FB Likes That You Haven’t Thought Of

Here we go!

1. Guest Posting

Guest posting is similar to speaking at a conference.

If you provide value for the audience, people will swarm you after your speech — wanting to get to know you better. 

But guest posting is not just a great way to build your authority on a subject, you can also use a post you write for somebody else’s blog to get more Facebook Likes.

2. Redirect New Subscribers to Like 

Here’s a creative way to get more Likes on Facebook!

When a reader subscribes to your blog opt-in form, instead of giving them the same old boring confirmation email & asking them to check their inbox (yawn), use the real estate to thank them & ask them to Like your Facebook page. 

When readers stumble on your blog through a search engine & love what you wrote, they will subscribe.

If someone subscribes to your blog, chances are they will also Like your Facebook page if given a chance.

3. Co-promote 

Facebook contests are excellent ways to get more Likes. But a company once told me that they didn’t have money to buy prizes. 

If you don’t have a large budget, partner with other companies to give away prizes from them.

This creates a win-win because both pages will benefit from buzz the contest creates.

4. Brand Your Graphics

When you create or share images on social media, mark the graphics with your logo & website. 

Why should you brand your social media graphics?

A few months ago, I saw an awesome quote that was shared on Facebook. Since the image was marked with the company’s brand, I searched for the business & found a great place to find awesome quotes for Facebook.

5. Give Away Relevant Goodies on Your Website

I love Creative Market! 

I’ve purchased several themes & Photoshop actions from this site.

And every Monday, the website gives away 3 free goodies.

The catch?

You need to download the free stuff from Creative Market’s Facebook page.

10 short stories written in a single tweet

Great literature doesn't always appear in novel format. Sometimes it can be found in a single tweet.

Master wordsmith and October's MashableReads author Margaret Atwood knows the value that can be found in 140 characters or less. Atwood often uses Twitter to augment her prolific writing, taking to the social network to engage with fans, discuss issues that are important to her and chat about books.

Inspired by Atwood, her active use of Twitter and her new short story collection Stone Mattress, we asked Mashable readers to write their own short story in a single tweet. Submissions ranged from haunting meditations on life to playful Halloween tales. Check out some of our favorites HERE
