How a Realtor Got 500Facebook Fans

Utah Dave is a realtor in Utah. He recently told us how he attracted over 500 Fans to his Facebook page.
Dave told Steve: "On my personal Facebook page I have about 1200 friends. I sent a link to all of them to join my Facebook business page and so that's how I got the-- well, that's how I got a lot of the 500. And so I sent a link to everyone that I know and then they signed up to be a fan. And I did offer them like-- I did offer at the very beginning, you know, I'm going to give away a free iPod. And so I had all these people signing up. And then the next thing you know is, it shows on their Facebook page that they signed up on mine and their friends, who I don't even know, started sign ing up to be a fan on my page because they saw their friend did. So my network is just kind of growing. So I don't know. I haven't counted. I don't know how many people are actually friends that are on my fan page and how many aren't. But I would guess it's probably 90 percent of those 500 are my friends and then the other 10 percent are from seeing their friends sign up on my fan page."
This is a great example of using your existing network of friends to join your Fan page. We like Dave's idea of having a contest with a high-value prize, but you could just as easily give away a few lower-value gift certificates to your store in a similar type of contest.
