How to invite your friends to like facebook pages you are passionate about.

In my social media roles I often get asked, "what is the best way to get others to like a page my organization is passionate about?"

When I get that request I simply say, "suggest the page to your friends."

Though, I realize mechanically that is easier to say then do.

If you are an admin or contributor to the page there are five simple steps to invite a large targeted audience which we will get to later in this post.

If you are a fan of the page, but have no admin or contributor role, there are two simple steps to share the page.  But, just so you know, you'll be clicking for a few minutes.

(BTW: This is the process as of 1-21-2015 if facebook changes things I'll do my best to update).

IF YOU ARE A FAN OF THE PAGE

If you are a fan of the page, You simply need to go to the area below the main cover photo of the page to the "PEOPLE" section and click on "Invite your friends to like this Page"




From there you will just need to scroll down the list of your friends and click the "invite" button by their name.  It's a "long" process, but trust me, in five minutes of clicking you'll be able to invite all of your friends you want to like the page.

IF YOU ARE AN ADMIN OF OR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE PAGE

STEP 1. Login to your facebook account and go to the page with your profile (It's important to not be logged in as the page).

STEP 2. Click on "Build Audience" on the upper right hand corner of the page. NOTE: IN SOME BROWSERS "INVITE FRIENDS" MAY BE WRITTEN AS "SUGGEST PAGE."



STEP 3. Click on "Invite Friends." (See example above).

STEP 4: Select the segment of friends you want to invite to like the page. You can choose either people from a city you reside in, school you went to, or interest group you are a part of.



STEP 5: Once you have that selected either click "select all" or go through the list and pick out individual friends to invite. (Note: I'm not including a photo of this because I would have had to blur most of the shot to keep my personal friends anonymous.)

Hopefully this helps.  EMAIL ME  if you have any more questions.
