Facebook is an ultimate source of traffic and I have already talked a lot about Facebook in the past. If you missed my posts I would suggest you should read 10 Facebook tools and tips for Bloggers.
Facebook fan page almost work like feed subscriber. When a user click on like button of any page, he will get all the updates on his/her Facebook wall. So your first goal should be getting more Fans into your Facebook Fan page of your blog.
The first and simple way to have more fan is by inviting your group of friends to become a part of your Facebook fan page.
Here is a small two step process to invite your friends to become your Facebook Fan page Fan:
Go to your Facebook Fan page and click on Suggest to Friends on right hand side.
Now select the friends whom you want to invite and once you have selected your friends click on Send invitation.
Now once your friends will accept your invitation, they will become a fan of your Facebook Fan page and also this update will available on their friends wall. If the page is interesting more users will join the same way.
Make sure your landing page should be useful and you are inviting targeted people. For example when you have a blog about hard core technology, probably girls will be least interested for the same. So target guys for the same and avoid inviting girls.
If you like Shoutmeloud, you can invite your friends to be a part of Shoutmeloud community by inviting them to join our Facebook fan page.
This is one of the simplest trick which I can think of in order to increase your Facebook Fan page followers in simplest way. Do share your tip to increase your Facebook fan page followers?

@Harsh
Their is this another trick. if you want to select all your friends at one go
1. Click on “Suggest to Friends”
2. To select all your friends enter this code in Address bar
javascript: fs.select_all();
and press enter.
3. Click “Send Invitations”
Yea this is a good way if you want to invite all your friends at once. Great tips! =)

I found this another one:

You call this a trick !! This is the most obvious thing to do. It is like telling someone that after creating an account on FB, add friends.
Lately I have seen the post quality has deteriorated like anything on SML. But that is my opinion. I am sure your “loyal” readers will find even this post very insightful and shower praises on you for coming up with such good work. Let me tell you one thing, if they do so, it is not because they like this post but because they are looking for a link to their blogs.
Had this been from a guest blogger it was understandable. But such posts are not expected from you Harsh.
I know this comment won’t be published and I don’t care. I am removing SML from my feed reader because this post wasted my 5 precious minutes.
Hey Akash
It’s sad to see a regular reader going like this on the basis of Content quality. Well one thing which I have learned from my experience is: Things which you think that every1 should be knowing is not like this. Many people are not aware of this trick and specially for people who just started with Facebook fan page, will find this tip useful.
When I started with Facebook marketing:
First thing which I did was creating a group because I was not aware of advantage of Fan page over Group.
My only point is, such posts are quite useful for budding bloggers. Thanks for dropping by and for your comment
Well, I am really sorry, I adore shoutmeloud, and I love the fanpage, but I didn’t like this post. This trick was a little too easy, posting for the posting.
Here’s my tip… Try to have the things you post on your facebookfan page and try to share those with some friends. Be careful not to be annoying. Just make sure you send them a “personal” (although you select a group) message and if you don’t want to do that, put the message on your personal wall, send into the stream. Be sure to put a message in there that will catch the attention of the people who are in your stream.
Also, if you want to, you can post a link of you facebookfanpage on other FB-Fanpages about blogging…
Oops, just got <a href="http://connectbloggers.wordpress.com/category/experiment"a bit of of my next post on here….
Anyway, don’t worry shoutmeloud, I still love your blog!
This is a good tip but selecting all the friends take more time. There’s a plugin that helps you to select all the friends automatically. You can find about the plugin here.
Yeah it’s a good trick. But the problem with this is you should have a friends list who understand what is meant by blogging. Otherwise they wont accept the request.

I agree with your Sathish. Having less but quality number of followers would be more useful ..
That way very easy . Thanks for sharing
Thanks for your comment Hieu.
Cool tips Harsh, thanks
Very useful post. It works!
Simplest way is to insert the link button to your post. also a like box in the side bar. more options to people to connect. They will end up liking it.
i have tried this technique when i created my fan page….and this got me some 10 fans among my friends
Yes, its s very common idea. Not even a trick actually. I used it to get 50 fans on the first day itself
really nice one. Thank you for sharing, harsh.
@karan: really working trick. thank you
I’m always on the hunt for ways to improve blog traffic from Facebook. Hope there are more to come from you.
very good way to increase my facebook fan page. thanks
this i already know, wasn’t quite expecting this. thought i’d find something else, but thanks for the tip anyways
That’s a cool trick but I guess it’s also effective to befriend the admin of the targeted fan page slowly and surely, then barter your way around that single post. I do think that some admin can’t resist great deals, offer them good deals (but free methodologies) like helping them promote their fan page and in exchange they’ll allow you to post, well I sure do hope that it could work that way. But with friendship, I suppose there’s nothing impossible
Hello Harsh,
As always, the basic thing in a simple Language.
One of the biggest advantages of Facebook is the STP (Segmentation,Targetting and Positioning Opportunity it provides for Marketeers.One of the Trick here is to create Likes (earlier Fans) of Common interest.For example if some body is in Travel Education like Learn Tourism then increasing likes in Travel and Tourism Interest provides good opportunity for visibility for the Learn Tourism Page.As word of Mouth has viral role to play.
