Well start reading my 3 part series and find out how you can do just that using some simple techniques.

Facebook represents a fantastic opportunity for any business looking to make its mark on the web. If you can attract enough fans initially and create some great posts, then there’s a great chance that word will spread virally between Facebook members gaining you more followers and brand exposure.

Facebook recently announced that it had over 500 million users. With this many people now using the service, it has become a great place to gain new business. It also gives you the opportunity to interact with your customers and humanize yourself.

So lets get cracking!

Email Signatures

If you are like me, you will be sending out tons of emails a day to both new and existing friends and business colleagues. If you have a signature, simply add your Facebook fan page to the signature along with the normal contact information.

Shops and Restaurants

If you are the owner of  a bricks and mortar business, you have a number of ways that you can promote your business page. Try adding your Fan page address to your flyers, brochures, coupons, a sign on the check out desk, in a take-away menu(take-out to your American visitors) or why not place it on your receipts?

Facebook Ads

Facebook has its own advertising service where you can advertise your Facebook page or regular website or blog. The great thing about it unlike Google Adwords is that you can target certain demographics. So if you want to target 18-25 year olds, living in Greece, who like football then no problem.

Before you place the ad you can even see how many targeted users you will reach. Another option is to bid by the click or to bid by CPM(cost per thousand impressions). Compared to Google Adwords, Facebook ads are also cheaper!

So there you have it. Three simple ways to attract more fans to your business page on Facebook. Stay tuned, follow me on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook, or subscribe to my RSS feed to see part 2 and part 3 over the next few days.
