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.

A brand new Facebook scam that looks like a video and a user receives this as a message on Facebook , I got this scam from a couple of my friends in my inbox many times today.

The scam comes with the title "98 Percent of People Cant Watch This Video for more than 15 seconds " along with a thumbnail that looks like a video.

Alternate Spam message : 97 Percent of People Cant Watch This Video.....

Actually , this video looking message that you got is a Link that redirects you to another page. By doing so you will post this spam video like a link to your friend's inbox. Further if your friend clicks on this link thinking it to be a video, he will again share this spam link via a message with his/her friends.

So, never click on such links as these are spams. This spam has already become viral as a lot of people are sharing this without prior knowledge regarding spams and their dangers.
