In this post, I’m going to share all way-out I came to know that would help us increase our Fan Base on Facebook. And if I missed some methods for growing our Fan page, you are welcome to share it in the comments section.

1. Creating your Fan Page and getting your First 25 Fans

First thing that you have to do is create a Fan page for yourself or your business and fill in all required information. You should include a image for yourself or your business in your Fan Page with other details. And keep fresh content coming on your Fan page on regular basis. Write engaging content so people actually show interest in being Fan of your Facebook Page. You will need to have minimum 25 Fans to get a SEO Friendly URL for your Fan Page. Now the question arise, how to get these 25 fans to your Facebook page. What I did is, share my Fan Page with some of friends and ask them to be Fan of my page on Facebook. Also I ask them to share it with their friends list. And once you reach the target of 25 fans, go to username page to get a customized URL for your Fan Page.

2. Create a Facebook Fan Box and Share it on your blog
