Some Simple Ideas to Build Your Facebook Audience

1. Post a link on your personal page requesting your friends and family to like your page. Try to give them a good reason to do so though… Also, post that to linked in or twitter as well.

2. Send an email blast to your database promoting your page, give them incentive to go there as well… We will talk about that more…

3. Run Ads. No body likes to pay for friends, but a quick easy way to build a targeted audience to run featured page ads.
