3. Use Social Plugins like the “Like Box”

for various pages I have developed over the past several years.

4. Offer Incentives
Using a “Like Gate” is still a
powerful way to get new fans.
Offer something awesome to people

fan in hopes of getting more awesome stuff in the future.
5. Use Strong Calls To Action
If you don’t ask people to take
action and like your page many people simply won’t.
So don’t beat around the bush –
come right out and tell people to like your page.
Build links to your Facebook page
everywhere and include calls to action for people to join your Facebook page in
all of your marketing materials.
