How to Get More Facebook Likes

Bookbuzzr.com is one of my favorite Webaids for authors. Their newsletter always includes a great tip--new or a nudge on something I've forgotten to do. Here is an excerpt from a recent edition:

One of the primary marketing problems that authors face when they launch their Facebook fan pages is to get a critical mass of users who "Like" their fan page. This causes a chicken and egg problem in the sense that, without enough people liking an author's page, new visitors will not have the social proof necessary to Like the page. The visitor to the Facebook fan page is thinking, "Why should I be among the first visitors to "Like" this author's page?" Further, Facebook requires you to have a minimum of 25 Likes before you can claim a vanity URL (such as www[.]facebook[.]com/YourDesiredPageName) One way to solve this is to make use of the "Get Facebook Likes" area of the BookBuzzr author's forum and get Facebook Likes from other BookBuzzr Author Pro subscribers. We launched this feature just a few days ago and h ave already got scores of posts and authors who have begun to benefit. Of course, if you've already got a sufficient number of Facebook fans, you can still benefit from this feature. If you are a BookBuzzr Author Pro subscriber, this feature is available as a complimentary service. Please use it early and use it often. If you have not yet tried a BookBuzzr Author Pro subscription, do sign-up and give it a whirl. There is a 30 day free trial and you can cancel at any time.
