Sharing pictures and news updates

More often than you update your blog, you should update your Facebook page status and share informative updates and quotes to ensure audience engagement. Though everything you share can be seen by your fans on their timelines your updates are not the only thing they’ll come across on their timelines. There are a huge number of pictures shared every day, every hour.

Pictures have a high chance of reaching a broader audience than text status. Also, news updates related to stuff happening around you is also consumed rapidly by the Facebook audience. So make this your priority to share news updates, pictures and update your status regularly.

Increase the number of Admins for your page

Add more Admins to your Page and make them invite their friends and e-mail contacts to like the page. 3 Admins with 400 friends each will get 1200 friends invited and many more email contacts.

Set your Facebook page URL ad your e-mail signature

As a blogger and digital marketer, you have a lot of conversations on a daily basis via email, Facebook, and other forums. Some of us have a signature in our emails while some of us don’t. But what’s the harm in having a signature in our e-mail if it is a link to your Facebook page?

This is a cool idea which definitely makes the recipient of the mail think about your Facebook page and curious to know why you’d include that as a signature. This curiosity can work wonders for your Facebook page.

Eye catching cover photo

The cover photo of your page has a lasting impression on the visitor. So you’ve got to make it look attractive so that it stays in the minds of the visitors and become synonymous with the name of your Facebook page.
