How to build fans on Facebook
2011/04/14 6:00 AM
Let's face it…..Facebook is a household name……and a must have business tool if you want to maximize your exposure on line. Some of the ways we use Facebook, might be for networking, getting feedback on ideas, making friends, learning, and a big one for solopreneurs is just flat out finding a connection so you don't feel so alone.
But then there is using Facebook to help build your brand through fans. Some of us use it as a tool to get to know our target market better, so we can serve them better; we ask questions, we are inquisitive, we post interesting facts, and offer reasons for our "fans" to engage on our page.
I love the interaction on Facebook and check-in frequently to stay in touch with my "fans" who I know are looking to me for advice and guidance. I love learning about them and knowing more about what my community needs so I can work on a product to solve that need.
I asked my experts to contribute tips on how they build their fan base and they came through like rock stars. I use many of these techniques myself so wanted to let them shine and share their expertise with you.

We've all procrastinated before, whether we like to admit it or not. We get distracted with other things and this can be a huge problem at times. We put things off till later, and one hour turns into two, two hours turns into four, and so on. While taking time to have fun and unwind from chores or work may feel wonderful at first, you'll end up stressing yourself out much more later when you try to get it all done.![]()

You're preparing for a trade show, right? Getting a booth, whether for the first time or for the third time, may be nerve-wracking. This is entirely normal; it might be difficult to know what to say to customers or whether they enjoy your products or not.![]()

Don’t fret! ![]()
Here are some of the biggest mistakes you can make at tradeshows. Take this information with you so that your journey is much easier!![]()

𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 #𝟏: 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡![]()
Do a dry run set up of the booth at home. Map it out. For me the biggest thing was figuring out the merchandising and making sure I had enough samples with me to look full but not overly full. Be sure to take into account all your PR materials you might be taking, anything hanging on walls etc. Make sure you LOVE your setup – might be tables, shelves or even something more flashy and funky.![]()

𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 #𝟐: 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐩![]()
In order to be sure you have the best chance at the most money possible, be sure you have made strong connections with buyers prior to the show. Reach out to them, let them know you’ll be there and above all, do it sooner than later. This is not the time to be shy. There is a lot at stake here![]()
