In this post I’ll show you, how I got 550 likes for my website (nopassiveincome.com) in two days.
First of all I want to mention that all Facebook users which liked my FB page are real users, which are interested in blogging and passive income. So no “fake” users, “black hat” users or even bought users.
Below I’ll show you 15 tips how to get more and more likes on Facebook. And be patient – the last one point is the most important and most effective 😉
But first, please like our Facebook page:
How to Get Likes on Facebook
Offer Great Content on Your FB page
You can put here whatever you want – pictures, articles (notes), links, questions, videos. Important thing here is to mix various types of content.
Ask Your Users to Like Your Page
It’s very simple – you have a lot of regular readers, Twitter followers, email subscribers, or even friends on Facebook or on other social networks. Just ask them to like your FB page.
Make Contests on Your Facebook Page
People like contests. You can offer some prizes like ebooks, wallpapers or even money. But remember – contests on FB should be run only via 3rd part apps (it’s on Facebook rules).
Link to Your Facebook Page
You can link to your FB page from your own page, blog, email signature, twitter account or even from your guest post. But don’t overuse it.
Offer an Incentive to Like Your Page
It’s similar to running a contest, but you don’t need 3rd part apps and everyone is a winner 😉
Participate in FB Groups
If you have time, you can actively participate in related groups on Facebook. It really works – but a lot of time is needed to see effects.
Create Images with Call to Action
Prepare awesome image with call to action inside this image. It also works for infographics.
Write an Article “How to Get Facebook Likes”
People love (and hate) read “How to” articles. So, fill it with great content and here you are – some more FB users will like your page
Buy Likes for Your Facebook Page
I don’t recommend this method because bought users may not interact with your other fans. On the other hand – there is a lot of sites which offer paid likes…
Exchange Likes with Other Facebook Users
It is very simple – you like someone’s page and in exchange you get like from him/her.
Install Like Box Widget or Like Button on Your Page
Make it as simple as possible to like your page. Sometimes people want to like your FB page, but they don’t know how to do it…
Beg for Likes by Sending Spam Messages
No comments 😉
Black Hat Ways for Getting Facebook Likes
(Un)fortunately I don’t know such methods 😛
Ask for Likes from The Real Life
Facebook is the most popular social network. And it is popular not only on the Internet, but also in real life. So you can ask for likes also in the offline word, for example on:
- Business cards
- Ads on newspapers, radio and TV
- Shows and conferences
- Company paper
- Your own car
Facebook Ads!
Yes, this is my secret. This is the most effective way on getting Facebook likes. You may think “yes, maybe it’s effective, but it must be very expensive…”
Not at all. I spent 9.08$ for getting 324 clicks (in pay per click model) and 542 new likes for my site. So one like costs me about 0.0167$. Not bad… And it took me two days…
Of course Facebook propose higher price for one click (for me it was 0.5-1.2$) but you can change it and set a price you can afford.
Some more benefits of Facebook Ads:
-you can show your ads to people based on their age, location, nationality, interests and other features
-very fast effect of your actions
-very simple (comparing to Google AdWords)
-cheaper (than Google AdWords)
-except credit cards they accept PayPal and Facebook coupons
-there are also Facebook coupons which you can get for free or buy for few bucks. For example I bought a Facebook coupon (worth 30Euro=37,29$) for 6$…
-Each Facebook page, which has more than 400 likes, can promote (for 5$ or 10$) their last post among their fans. It is also one way to reach more likes for your page. I didn’t try it yet, but I definitely plan to do it in the next few months.
And what are your tips in getting Facebook fans or likes? Share them all below in the comments. And of course like our page 😉
Great post Chris!
Would love to know what kind of ads did you use and did you split test to see what works best?
Thanks!
Hi Kris, I use normal FB text ads (with small picture). Of course I test a lot of things (text, pictures, price, etc.). What is strange for me – day of the week also matters…
So if you set the price of your ad to low (in comparison to competitors!), your ad will be not shown to FB users… BTW – below you can find avarage cost of Facebook ads (Russia has the highest prices 😉

Really useful to know.
Thanks for sharing this information.
Hey chris,
Awesome tips ti increase traffic. This is a great way to attract audience. It has thousand words and increases our credibility. Thank you so much for this! I will surely read this and share this to my other friends.
Hi Bhushan, thanks for your comment
Hello chris,Thanks you so very much. Good to know someone is supporting those of us who are online.
You are welcome!
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Nice tips, facebook is really powerful nowadays and too much likes will put you to success, thanks for this post!
Zero Dramas
Thanks for your support Adel
Hi Chris,
This is a great outline for increasing Facebook likes – I have thought about Facebook ads for a while now.
You gave some great (free) actionable steps to take as well.
One question – was that the first campaign you have done on Facebook?
Thanks,
Christine
Hi Christine, thanks for your comment. FB ads are really effective – so I recommend it to you.
Answering on your question – yes, it was my first FB campaign (I use Google AdWords for some of my sites). Why are you asking about it?
BR, Chris
Great tips on increasing facebook likes. I’ll have to start doing some of those for our blog. I know it’s the overall effort that got you all the fans, but what technique do you think brought you the most?
Hi Josh,
thanks for your comment.
I think Facebook ads are the best way to get fast likes.
Hi Chris,
If the sole purpose is to inflate the social stats, sure you can buy or trade likes. But they are worthless and serve no real other purpose. I would start by inviting friends and like magic their friends would start to like your page or whatever. Of course that would take more than 2 days, but at least it would be more valuable and targeted compared to those fake likes.
Hi Simmeon, thanks for stopping by. Facebook ads is something else than buying likes. You can choose your audience (for example I chose people who are interested in #passive income and #blogging). What’s more – people click only 324 times on my ad – and I got 542 likes. It means that more than 200 FB users like my page because of their friends 😉
Thanks for adding your suggestions, Simmeon.
On my last question I’m referring to the free methods…I should have clarified it in that comment. Also do you mind sharing the ad you used on your facebook campaign?
Hi Josh, thanks for your comment. There is no free method (you choose between time and money). IMHO Facebook ads are most effective. And if you don’t have a lot of email subscribers or tons of other followers it’s the best on the beginning.
Hi Chris,
I just like your honesty when it comes to teach other people how to get things done in a very truthful way.
I used this method to increase my Facebook Fans to 1100+ within 3months and believe me Facebook advertising is working very effectively for those who wishes to try it.
Thanks for sharing this post.
Valentine
Hi Valentine, thanks for your support. People think that if we should pay for something (Facebook ads) it’s not fair. But it’s not true – only engaged people click (and some part of them like) our page.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Valentine.
Hi Chris….
Thanks for sharing tips to get Like on Facebook Fan page…..
I am writing an article in which I am going to uncover some bitter truth about Facebook Ads…..
I am not against FB ads but I am not loving it.
Hi Sandeep, I like your posts so I’m waiting for your article. BTW – I don’t write that I love FB ads 😉
Hi Chris, very good post!
I’ve tried sometimes facebook ads and it really works: cheap, easy and with real people clicking. Very best than buying followers, I like it!
Congtratulations by the article 🙂
Hi Abel, thanks for your comment. I totally agree with you – it’s cheap, easy and with real (and active) people behind.
Hey Chris,
Great post. I’m glad to see some real feedback for facebook ads. I’ve used them in the past for clients and myself.
The only immidiate concern is the ROI difference in a like gained from using Facebook ads versus a like gained after engaging the user from another platform.
Hi Joseph, thanks for your support. I’m also curious about ROI but IMHO it shouldn’t be huge difference…
Hi Chris,
Great post! I’m looking at using Facebook ads to increase my likes. What sort of campaign did you go for? Like campaign, normal ad, sponsored story???
Regards,
Tom
Hi Thomas, thanks for your comment. I used normal ad (in Cost per Click model). I suppose that like campaign (it’s in CPM model) will cost a lot more.
I agree as well Chris, those are some great ideas to get Facebook like.
I know a lot of people who use Facebook ads but I’m just not going to pay for likes, I’m sorry. Now if I were promoting something I wanted them on my page for I can see that like a special offer or a free gift in order to get them to opt-in to your blog or site. I’m sure that’s what the majority of people are using these methods for.
Congrats on those likes, job well done.
Thanks again Chris, this is good scoop.
~Adrienne
Hi Adrienne, thanks for your comment. IMHO giving free gift in order to get likes is also kind of “paying” for it. People like your page, download a gift and, in most cases, don’t interact 😉
BTW – since five days I also have FB ad campaign for one of my Polish, not personal site. Zero likes in five days…
Hi Chris,
You did really a great job bro, All of them are awesome tips to increase Facebook likes, but I don’t think we can get 500+ likes by following these tips without using Facebook ads.
I feel I would try Facebook ads ones.
Ehsan, thanks for stopping by. Even with FB ads it’s not so simple to get a lot of followers. In your campaign you must change pictures, text, interest…
Hi Eshan, long time without hearing from you.
How things are going?
Hi Chris I am a regular User of Facebook with more than 700 friends But not too much likes. SO i actually wondering this kind of Information. But I read your article and now I fell I got my solution to Increase likes. I want to promote my Business page so I remember your tips and surely Implement it. Last I take the opportunity to thank you for sharing this valuable Information sharing with us.
Hi James, thanks for stopping by. With a lot of friends you can get even more likes. Mixing different ways of getting likes is the best solution 😉
lol, Some of my friends Beg for Likes by Sending Spam Messages 😉 As you mentioned in the post!
Hi Ammar, thanks for stopping by. Of course if FB page is worth “liking” – I press the like button. But sometimes our friends are too much “aggressive” in promotion 😉
Lol, Ammar, spamming is a big no, also for likes on Facebook. 😉
I wasn’t aware you could get your Facebook ad settings that low. Good to know! With some of the businesses we’ve worked with using a ‘fan gating’ system where you have to like a page before you can view certain content has worked will in procuring likes.
Hi Charles, thanks for your comment. Facebook Ad may be very cheap, but we should test a lot of things and change some things (for example graphics, text) during campaign 🙂
Hi chris
nice post
begging does help , but as you said no comments . I think running a contest and linking your Facebook page are best way to get like
thanks for sharing
Bryan
Hi Bryan, maybe begging help, but if you want a lot of likes, you need time and/or money (for example to spend it on FB ads or, as you wrote, to prizes on contest 😉 ). Thanks for your comment!
Hi Chris,
I am running an ad campaign for a client, but I haven’t started promoting my own page yet. The thing is that to me, it’s all about having the strategy ready. I need to be active on my own page and create and publish quality content, and that’s something I’ve been “struggling” with.
What I’m saying is that I haven’t found my Facebook Page to be part of my overall marketing strategy yet. Like how to convert likes into sales. But, I’m working on it 🙂
Great tips.
Hi Jens, thanks for stopping by. At this moment I don’t think about converting likes into sales, but into traffic. In last 7 days I got 40 visits from Facebook – for me it looks very good (with that amount of likes). I plan one more FB ads campaign, but with some other details 😉
BR, Chris
Good to have the chance to connect with you, Jens.
Happy Holydays! 🙂
Got 500 Likes In 2 Days? Superb Cool Chris. I reached 500 Likes after 2 or 3 Monts. Not Day Lol 😀
BTW Nice Tips.
I want to ask you a question.
How you are getting 100+ Tweets for your every article?
Share the Secret 😀
Thanks.
Cheers.
Amit From iTechCode,
Hi Amit, thanks for stopping by. Answering on your question. As you can see, not every post get huge amount of tweets, only some of them. There is a mix of three things:
-great content (with links to others – people like tweet about their blogs or sites of their friends)
-Triberr
-interaction with blog commentators, Twitter followers and Triberr members
Have a nice week and RT please 😉
Hi Chris,
Great post – how do you purchase discounted FB coupons?
Hi Penny, I bought it via Allegro – it’s equivalent of Ebay on Polish market. You can also try to get it on Fiverr.
Thanks Chris!!
You are welcome!
Thanks for sharing your comment here, Amit! 😀
Another great tactic is to join a niche forum and get to know people there. Then you can add them as Facebook friends and then ask them to like your pages.
Hi John, thank you for your insight. Joining a big and related forum may be a great solution, not only in getting “likes” 😉
Chris
Thanks for adding this suggestions, Jon! 😉
You can get fb likes from yhis page
Fiverr fb likes purchase?
No, thanks.
Thanks for this awesome post Chris. On Facebook getting more likes means getting more viral. I really will try some of them and i strongly believe that i will get lots of likes.Thanks Chris.
Glad you liked, Gilbert!
We can use PayPal to use coupon code but they don’t allow to use same PayPal account for another coupon code in other account. I’ve tried this few months ago and yes we can get targeted audience from FB ads.
Thanks for the tips, Chris 🙂
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Anup.
To get some Facebook likes, we’ve just built a page that lets you squash an internet troll saying hilarious stuff. Come try it out and see if you can use the technique on your own site.
Funny pictures always attract likes, Zenos! 😀
Great article. but what do you suggest for a competition photograph which needs likes?
All you need to do is like this picture, oh and like the official Nando’s Namibia page too.
You can run giveaways or shout out, Catherine.
Good luck!
Hi Chris, i was gonna ask you, how does it work with facebook ads if you select a day campaign budget let’s say $10 and choose per day option?
Do they charge you only $10 and the paid as will be available just for one day or do they charge you $10 a day every day until you cancel the ad?
cheers, thank’s a lot!
Hi noah, you must set strict “time box” for it. If you don’t, you will be charged till you cancel it.
thanks for sharing, Get more follow and generated more like are the way I must do right now. Anyway, thanks for sharing good advise
Thanks for commenting, Kim!
Hi, I’m pulling out al the stops i want 500 like is a night for my fb page Rileys fish….help if you can I’m doing as many of your suggestions as possible!!!!
Organize a contest and search for Facebook fan pages within your niche, then offer like exchange!
Hope it helps.
I first read this last weekend and decided to implement it. I started with $5 per day. I am up to 500 new, highly targeted fans. My traffic is booming and the social flow is great. I am so happy that I am going to let it go for a whole month. I just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Though its not free it is actually is worth it. free facebook likes
Great to hear that!
– you can gang up with group of fan page owners and share you fan pages with each other
Good tip, Chammy!
Thanks for adding!
I am the administrator for the new site STD911.com,We offer a free STD eBook resource guide to download and share, STD 911, that encourages STD online testing. I started a FB ad campaign on Monday and by Saturday had almost 800 Facebook likes!
My daily budget was $15, once you hit your daily limit, your ad stops showing until the next billing day. Every couple of days, FB debits my paypal account. I set my time limit for 1 week when the ad campaign will end – unless I choose to extend it. You can also choose to run ads continuously if you have the ad budget. You can select what countries in which to show your ad/stories. Since our testing labs are in the US, I chose mainly to target the United States, though the information in the STD 911 guide is for a worldwide audience as sexually transmitted diseases know no boundaries.
Once you hit 400 likes you can choose to promote any post, story, video you wish for as little as $5. My understanding is that FB promotes you to your ‘likes’ and (if you choose) to their friends as well. This is where you can really experience exponential growth (“They tell 2 friends, and they tell 2 friends, etc.). I found this whole experience very easy to set up and activate – much simpler than Google Adwords and less expensive.
Hope someone finds this helpful. Good luck in your future marketing efforts!
Thanks for sharing that with us, Barbie!
Really interesting!
Thank You, That was Awesome
I have a Fashion Blog and Facebook Fan Page I’m trying to get them famous.

Good luck, Shan! 😉
Hi Chris,
We have used Facebook ads successfully for posting an incentive to like our page. At the time we were running a cell phone contest and we got 1000 fans thanks to them ads in a month. It was great work.
Thanks for sharing that.
Great experience!
This was a great article, especially for someone who just set up a facebook business page. As another commenter mentioned, I am really surprised that FB advertising is that reasonable. I don’t want to go with “buying” likes – I want people who are genuinely interested, with whom I can interact, and who will hopefully become customers. Thanks for your help!
Correct!
Be sure to work hard to get genuine Facebook fans and real likes!
I also need to increase facebook fans for my blog and planning to run a contest on FB. I hope it will be effective.
Giveaways and contest are a great way to boost social signals, Yogesh.
I usually don’t bother commenting but this article is worth it. I never knew I can pay so little money for PPC campaign. You mentioned that we can buy fb coupon? Is it for a first time customer or can we repeat (I don’t think so?). Anyway, I am going to look fb coupon on ebay now.
Another question is you mentioned about 3rd party app, is it an app from facebook or how do we get it? I looked on google but not very clear since I am all new to this..Thanks a lot for sharing this awesome article.
Crisse
Thanks for commenting, Crisse.

S
Thanks for sharing your facebook fan page url, Sham. 😉
I’m running a caption contest, asking those to either write a caption, share or like…and whoever “wins” will get a free spotlight on my Facebook Page and Website. I promoted it (it passed the 20% minimum text rule) with a budget of $5. In a couple days, over 5,000 views and tons of engagement. So far, I’ve $3.96 and have gotten a ton of exposure…when people are on my page, i’m hoping they will see the quality content I’m providing. Well worth it.
Great initiative, Michelle!

Great post. One method that has always worked for me is Facebook PPC Ads. Another easy way is trying out a well known social media reseller like Social Media Combo. But having the likes is not the last bus stop. The fans need to be kept engaged, or else they will leave. Thanks for sharing this insight. “Tweeting this post now”
Thanks for adding that, Sussie.

Social signals are indeed very important for SEO, Sunil!
Nice to hear 🙂 only $10 for 500 likes, will try advertising soon and will fetch some genuine likes for my page. Thanks 🙂
Thanks for your comment, Anirudh.
This is something I have always struggled with! I love some of the suggestions but the one I will be trying is the advertising. I had just assumed that it was too expensive so I never tried, but that all changes now!
There are many options available with Facebook ads, just be sure to set it up correctly.
You know since I read all this don’t you think I deserve a big Like on FB page
How about all of you Like the page and prove me that all this is not a scam or not another
spam. email me and then I will let you all Know the FB Page.
I realy do like the Idea but I have to trust you to write the website down here.
Hi Talia,

Wow thanks for the information. I wish I could get this many likes in one day. I don’t even have that many friends.
Hello,
be sure to follow the tips mentioned in this post to get more likes to your Fb page.
Also to have more friends!
Good luck! 🙂
Hi Chris! Thanks for your informative article. I am feeling lucky to read your post. You have shared almost all secrets for getting more facebook likes. Thanks !
Glad you enjoyed the post, Greg.
This article is just what I needed. Many thanks.
I have a Facebook page for my blog where besides the posts from the blog I also post links to interesting articles from other sites but my number of likes is still quite pathetic.
I recently also discovered something called Social Exchange Sites and I am wondering if this is also the way to increase likes.
That’s a interesting idea : the Social Exchange Sites .
Thanks for adding that.
Very nice article on blogging. I am new to blogger and want to learn more from your articles. Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed the post.
I’m an intern at ‘the boyscouts’ and I am researching for more likes, my goal is 1000 likes before I end my intern in June, some more tips and tricks? Want to help me? : like ‘the boyscouts’ on facebook 😉
Hello Aukje,
be sure to follow the tips mentioned in this post to get more likes to your Fb page.
Good luck! 🙂
Spam message is a BIG no no.
You don’t want to SPAM, Dipra.
It’s a big no, even for Facebook fan pages.
Your Tips are very helpful. I will try these to get more fb page likes
Hi Tajamal,
use these tips to get more fb page likes.
wow its realy so nice web site.i just finished your comment .i have a facebook fan page So buy facebook fans and get more
Better genuine Facebook fans, than purchased likes!
Hi Chris, thanks for the tips, very helpful. I aim to start running Promotional Posts on my page but in order to do that I need +100 likes. Research has led me to believe I can achieve the first goal of +100 likes by running an Ad Campaign and the comments and your replies have confirmed my view that a successful Ad campaign will likely increase the number of likes. So far so good. I landed on your page seeking insight into what exactly makes a successful Facebook Ad campaign but that sadly I didn’t find. Is there a Facebook Ads for Dummies out there somewhere or more specifically one or two How To links that you could share with us that would help me and others who are seeking guidance?
Hi Peter,

Really helpful tips, but I doubt on getting likes through Facebook ADS. You will definitely get many likes if you spend on Facebook ADS, but I guess all of them are not active users and some are fake. You won’t actually get clicks from these users.
Chris had some great results with that, VenusLaik.
It really depends on how you set it up.
Hi Chris
I have used fb ads last month and the response was quite amazing. Your all tips are awesome, thanks for sharing them.
Glad to hear that, Yogesh!
Hey, Chris
Very nice useful Article. Getting traffic from social media its really great way and Facebook its most useful platform for that. I really enjoying to read this article. Thanks

Thanks for sharing that, Mohsin.
These are some awesome tips to get more Facebook likes. My page has only single digit likes at the moment (it’s about 10 days old).
In one point you mentioned about giving incentives to like the page. Can you please elaborate it? I mean, what kind of incentive can be given?
It could be giveaway, shout out, or mentions to the users who like your page.
Be creative, Sourav! 🙂
I’m still working on the Facebook likes. It’s growing slowly but it’s growing. Thank you for the tips.
Glad you enjoyed the tips in the post, Jennifer.
Thanks for dropping your comment.
