Great info, thank you. I know this article is a bit old, but if anyone is still reading I would like to add a little goes a long way. We set up a running ad campaign on our Facebook page for sponsored stories. A budget of $1.00 a day and people see the ad that says your friend **** likes siamesedreamdesign. It really is amazing how many new fans we get from that $1 a day. I also believe these are good fans being that they already have a friend who likes our style. When we don’t have any other campaigns running this is still keeping us visible to new potential fans.

Great Post! .. has a very authentic and down to earth feel to it.. not to mention very helpful too

.. we have been trying to find out, what could be considered to be a ‘sustainable’ number of followers on each of the respective networks .. i.e. the number, that if reached, in a way creates constant growth through the mere activity of the existing followers..if that makes sense? E.g. once you have reached x number of followers on facebook for example, new followers will come along automatically on a regular and increasing frequency without you having to ‘actively chase’ them..? (given you normal blogging / posting activity stays constant)

best wishes

I’m currently hitting a brick wall trying to use Facebook to market locally. I’m a guitar teacher, and I want to build a following of guitarists or those who want to play guitar. What I’m mostly getting are friends of friends who know someone liking my page, so, therefore, no one really responds when I “engage” in guitar related discussion and topics.

My goal is to have a community of guitarists (and potential guitarists) discussing guitar and music.

I feel the infant level would be much smaller of a number if I’m concentrating locally, no? What can I do to focus getting guitar-interested followers?

I find myself avoiding my page because I get block on what I should do next that would actually “be worth it.”

Great tips, thanks. I’m still an unborn! Just collecting ideas and tips in readiness. Had a camera for Christmas and going to start a course on how to use it (!!) in a couple of weeks, so watch this space, as ‘they’ say. )

Hey Cat!

I’m with you on the scheduling tools. I love Hootsuite for that.

Hard work… True that.

Hi Jeny!

I just came from your blog and I think you’re doing fine with a voice. Loved the “Nice to meet you.” post.

Not sure I can help you on the narrowing down interests just yet. When I figure that one out, you’ll be the first to know!

Thanks for being here and leaving a comment.
