Once your Facebook page is all set, it’s time to convince people into joining. It’s a good idea to start with the people in your network. On the bottom left corner of the main page is the ‘Share’ option. Click on it, write a short but informative text that indicates what the page is about, and then submit. Having done this, the advertisement will show on the live feed of all those who are in your Friend List.

Those whose curiosity is picked are bound to click on “Like”. All people who do this will be included in the list of subscribers. As a result, the information that they “liked” the page will show up on their respective live feeds. This is where the viral effect of Facebook comes into play.

Collecting a lot of subscribers is not enough, of course. You need to consistently provide them with updates, and possibly dish out promotions to gain more followers. Remember, every post made by you as an admin will show up on the live feeds of your subscribers.
