Traffic Generation Techniques For Fanpages
When most people create a fanpage they are often left to wonder on how to drive traffic to their fanpage. In this section I am going to show you how I am going to drive traffic to my brand new fanpage on “short emo hairstyles”.
So just to remind you here is a screenshot of my Fanpage (Before the traffic generation techniques were applied).
The only “fan” at the moment is me.
Now I am going to start directing traffic to my fanpage.
My favourite traffic generation method is to head over to Fiverr.com and simply pay for “status updates”.
So let’s go to Fiverr and see what services we can use to buy status updates from people.
The first thing you need to do is click the “Social Marketing” category on Fiverr and see what kind of services people are offering in relation to Facebook Fanpages.
We can immediately see that there are several services that you can use where people are offering Facebook “invites”.
So for example, here is an example of a service that will generate you lots of fans in a short space of time.
We can also see that this guy has excellent feedback from people.
In relation to my fanpage – which is about “emo short hairstyles” it is important you find the right target market. So for example, this guy is a “lead singer” and there are a lot of people on his list who are into music and are into “emo hairstyles” – perfect!
The next thing to do is contact this guy in regards to the GIG and place and order.
Now once you have ordered a GIG order another GIG - In fact if you are going to be spending $5.00 on each GIG then I would at least contact 10 Gig owners (spend $50.00) in getting lots of traffic to your Fanpage.
Here is another Gig I am going to use as this has excellent feedback.
Gigs on the “featured section” on Fiverr tend to generate a lot of views and also have sellers with a positive feedback.
Here is another Gig that is bound to get you a lot of traffic for just $5.00.
And here is another service that I have used to boost my Fanpage traffic.
This person will invite 15,000 of her friends to your fanpage for just $5.00.
Once you have ordered several Gigs you will simply need to wait whilst traffic to your fanpage increases.
Usually Fiverr members will update you on the status of your order. Here is an update on our “Emo Hairstyle Fanpage” from two sellers.
This seller has provided a screenshot of the Gig I just ordered.
As you can see this seller is also charging $30 for 100k people if I buy the Gig 6 times. This is insane and this can truly make your Fanpage go “viral”.
Let’s take a look at the “proof” shall we?
This is the screenshot that I was supplied by this seller. As you can see they have invited ALL of their 5000+ people onto my Fanpage 
I am a happy bunny now because this proof has given me confidence!
Now it has just been 10 minutes and traffic to my Fanpage has already started to increase.
Here is a screenshot of my fanpage right now (7pm UK British Time).
As you can see “20 people have liked” this already, in such a short space of time.
Fiverr is an excellent resource to buy Fanpage invites and increase traffic to your Fanpage in a short space of time.
The reason I like Fiverr so much is because you can find quality sellers who will do the job without a fuss.
There are also other ways to increase traffic to your Fanpage.
Tagging and @ Tagging Feature
One way of increasing lots of fans to your Fanpage is the process known as Facebook “tagging”.
This involves uploading a photo or an image and then simply “tagging people”. Now I know when I have been “Tagged” on Facebook I always have to see who tagged me. Curious people are always going to be “curious” about something.
Now you might want to use a creative image. For example, an image that contains text and a URL link to another website perhaps?
By doing this you will get a lot of people viewing the image.
For example, if you had an Iphone 4 landing page CPA offer then by using “tagging” people will end up joining the fanpage and clicking on your URL link.
(More on Landing pages later).
The @ tagging feature
Another cool feature you can use is called the @ Tagging feature. This involves posing on your Fanpage wall and tagging another URL link or tagging another Facebook user.
For example, here is you can see on one of my Fanpages I have tagged my latest fanpage.
The advantage of this is that your Fanpage will turn into a nice short hyper link as opposed to a “long winded” link.
The “Suggest Feature”
Now traditionally when you create a Fanpage you immediately want to start inviting all your Facebook friends. Although, this can get you a lot of traffic to your fanpage in a short space of time you must ask yourself whether this traffic will be targeted to your fanpage. For example, if your Fanpage is on rap music and most of your friends are Internet Marketers then it would be no point in inviting your 5k friends to your “rap music fanpage”.
However, if you want to know how to invite ALL of your Facebook friends to your fanpage in a short space of time then you simply need the following JavaScript code.
javascript:elms=document.getElementById('friends').getElementsB yTagName('li');for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === 'object'){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}
Simply paste this code at the top of your browser and then simply invite all your friends.
This will invite all your friends to your fanpage. Of course not everyone will join your page and they might even delete you, but this is an option 
In the next section I am going to discuss how you can use monetisation techniques to drive hoards of traffic to your fanpage.
These techniques involve adding extra features to your Fanpage.
