The BEST Thing I've Done to Increase My Facebook Following



Every author wants to up their Facebook following.  I've tried various things, posting to other pages, keeping my page updated/current, etc.  While I might have gotten one or two "likes" from these efforts, over time, my fans remained few.  That's when I decided to hold a contest - and man, did that work well!!!  It's still going on so I don't know what the total increase will be but get this, after the first three days, my weekly stats arrived and, and, and.... those "talking about this" went up a whopping 2,250% and the "weekly total reach" increased 954%.  The secret?  I believe the fact that I made a fun photo contest brought a LOT of people to my site.  My books are not the theme of the contest although the winner gets to choose one of my books, along with a stuffed animal for a prize.  There are easy, easy apps to set up these contests.  I used "Offerpop" and it only took a few minutes for me to do it.  Curious?  Check it out - click on "photo contest" in the left column (note you have to "like" the page to view the contest).     http://www.facebook.com/HorseBooks
