With over 900 million users Facebook has become an internet giant. Although Facebook alone isn't enough to run a successful online business it is a critical component to your online marketing. In this article I'm going to share with you a few tips on how to get more Facebook likes. The more often you receive a Facebook like the more often your page will appear in the feed of Facebook users. This ends up being a great way to get more traffic to your website. And more traffic means more business.

1. Ask and you shall receive.

One of the ways you can get more Facebook likes right off the bat is to ask your audience like you on Facebook. If you run an email marketing campaign send an email to your list asking them to like you on Facebook. This will be a good investment of an email because once people like you on Facebook you'll be able to market to them time and time again.

2. Put a like button on your homepage.

You can get more Facebook likes by adding a Facebook like button to the homepage of your website. By putting the like button in a prominent place you'll find a good number of people will gladly like your page. Make sure you use a Facebook like button that likes your Facebook page when clicked as opposed to simply liking the page itself.

3. Bribe your audience.

Another great way to get more Facebook likes is to simply offer something of high perceived value to your audience in exchange for the Facebook like. For example you can give people special access to a members section, send them something in the mail. Get creative and find something that doesn't cost you much but your audience would really love to have.

4. Advertise on Facebook.

Probably the fastest way to accumulate Facebook likes is to advertise on Facebook. If you setup a business page and create an ad you'll want to choose the ad option that gets you likes of your page. Although this method works very well it can be expensive. In my experience each Facebook like will cost you .50-1.00 depending on the competition for the ad space. Just make sure you can get more than $1 out of each Facebook like in advertising during the lifetime of the client. Of course for now that's heard to measure.
