What to Post on Facebook for maximum traffic/likes
-
Hello,
I am just now starting on my facebook page for my personal development coaching website.
Here it is:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bob-Weikel-Associates/217292791620485
I have to be careful not to spam my collegues and friends with like requests. How do I get started gaining relevant traffic and likes?

I really liked your reply too Chris. Thank you.

Hi Bob,
It's not specifically related to Facebook pages, but this brought a smile to my face this morning:
Good luck with the new page.

Giveaways and prizes work the fastest, but to avoid the "almost spam" route, considering your career, I would push out daily motivational sayings, tips, and photos that people can then share. The more they share, the bigger Reach you have and the bigger the reach, the more people that see your message each day.
The most important thing is being consistent. It's easy to get disillusioned and discouraged when things move slow. My friend Simon T. Bailey is also a personal coach and very good at this. Check out his Facebook page to see how he does it at https://www.facebook.com/simon.t.bailey. It's a good battle plan.

Hi Bob,
There is actually some software in development that attempts to answer this question.
I'm on the waiting list and I'm excited to see what they offer.
Here are the things I do in order of importance to start building a following:
- Make sure my timelime, cover photo etc. are professional and interesting
- Develop a posting schedule and learn to measure the results (In FB insights you can get a picture of how many people are giving your posts negative feedback. This is your spam-o-meter.
- Experiment with FB advertising.
Hope this helps.
Jesse
p.s. Here is an FB page I built last month if you are interested in another example. http://www.facebook.com/hawaiiperformingartsfestival

Unique content is always your best bet. At the risk of giving a rather vague answer, the best way to get "likes" is to write content that people will like!
Think of a common question or problem that people have, and try to answer/solve it. Become a helpful resource, try not to just regurgitate advice that anyone can find in 5 seconds with a Google Search.
There isn't a lot of science behind it... you sort of have to work with trial and error. Learn your audience, learn what they like and what resonates with them. Over time you can refine it into a winning formula, but each niche has it's own group of people that need to buy in to make something successful.
For a humorous take on this advice, see the following: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/facebook_likes

Facebook won't spend my ad budget. Any recommendations?
What do you do when Facebook won't spend your ad budget, no matter what you do or how high you bid? We've tested a large audience (2.2 million reach) under a single ad set versus many smaller ad sets with tighter targeting (50-150k reach). We've tested auto bidding versus manual bidding with bids as high as 1000% higher than Facebook's recommended bid. We've tested many versions of creative with and without text overlay and our relevance scores are high. Nothing seems to work. Our Facebook rep and Facebook technical support keep recommending to stay with one ad set and one ad, but that's not spending either. Most days we are getting less than 20% budget utilization. Has anyone experienced this situation before? Does anyone have any recommendations?

Facebook Places & Business Pages - Any way to consolidate
Hello, I've read multiple posts on this, and the new timeline layout rolling out for business pages..but I haven't seen an update to this issue. My company has a retail store and an online store. Because of this, we had to create a places page and a regular business page. When people "check-in" via Facebook, the check-in goes to the places page. But our main marketing efforts and large fan base are at the business page. Facebook used to allow you to combine these. In a perfect world, all would live on one business page. Has anyone heard an update on this feature? Thanks either way.

How fast to post content to Google+
If an established publisher gets started on Google+, is it better to post one or two things a day like a real person would, or is it okay to do a "data dump" and post a ton of articles at once? Does it matter if the account is a brand or personal page? Thanks.

Constantly randomly rejected Facebook ads, how to solve this?
Im pulling my hairs out literally, Facebook has been constantly rejecting my ads, throwing away All the work it took the campaigns to set them up. This is getting frustrating since I allways get the same "image" reason. What bothers me is the themes are similar to previously approved ads and I for one cannot find a reason on their lists for the rejection. So I was thinking of just resending the same ads with a higher bid, to test if they approved them or not, but don't know how this will work. Is there a way to contact them to actually tell you what they think was wrong? Is there a chance to file a complaint for the rejection of the same ad with different targeting just on different dates? Im really really stressed out since ive lost 10hours of work dealing with this constant rejection nonsense.

Anyway, here's my question - I've started promoting the contest via social media, the website, online contests...like to get to promoting it on relevant blogs too. I'm in the beginning stages. Any other ideas? Has anyone had luck with PPC or FB ads? Thanks in advance! LHC oVThP5PcRvo
