@mutunga Hi Dewane

Great content, consistently. Mixed in with some advertising at appropriate times. Plus lots of engagement.

Give people a reason to press Like. But focus on Engagement.

I looked at your Page, @mutunga and a couple of suggestions.  

1.  I would get a cover photo.  If I go to a page and it looks “half done” I sometimes don’t even look to see what’s being posted, I just navigate away.  2.  You have some nice quotes in there but I’m wondering how they relate to your business.  Quotes can be used as a supplement but I want to get good advice around your topic of your business.3.  I need more info in your about section.  Why should I “Like” you?  What will I get here?  4.  Commenting on other Pages as your Page can be a good strategy for organic Likes but that does take time.5.  Encouraging conversation by asking questions is good.  I noticed you have some questions in there but you will need more content before your audience trusts you enough to answer.

Hope that helps! 

@andrea-vahlI’m not sure exactly what page you was referring to, (I had the Conversion Cues page in mind), but you still gave me some food for thought.Thanks for the ideas!

Hey Dewane,

Agree with everything that has been mentioned above. Facebook’s not about the hard sell, in exchange for a like, people are going to want something in return and know that they are going to benefit from it somehow. Here’s a page with an app that offers a free e-book in exchange for a like. You could do something similar.

This is a great thread with some very helpful tips.
I have my first client as a social media manager and I started a Facebook page for her a few weeks ago. I try to mix up interesting health facts with links to our articles and articles from other sites as well as asking questions to encourage people to ask their own questions of us. Unfortunately none of this seems to be working since I’ve only gotten 8 likes so far. I tried encouraging Twitter and Linkedin followers to like the page by offering a free 20 minute phone consultation but the response was very weak. My client has not offered me any of her own contacts to try to connect with so I’m pretty much starting with scratch.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what I can do to engage readers more and draw people to the page?
