These applications will definitely get more out of your Facebook and use the better options while chatting, sharing status updates, uploading images or videos, fan pages, personal events , etc. And the list will never end as lots of apps are found on iTunes for iPhone and iPad users who are interested in "Social Networking".

After many attempts of trial and error basis, some points do get remained for making "Fan Page" a success. The success of course depends upon the number of likes, posts made by members, frequency of engaging fans, the type of content, etc.

The success is descriptive. Content matters the most in any case whether it is a website or a blog or a fan page or even a status update that you make every day in your Facebook wall. If the content is interesting and engaging, people do come and read and wait for more updates from your side. 

Sometimes, if the content is most alluring, then some fans do "Bookmark" your fan page to know more about your pages. 

This all comes with experience and mainly the different techniques to make it a success. 

When you start any business, your first intention is not to earn money but to earn people. The fan pages have to be created "for the fans" and not for your purpose. Success will follow when more and more people visit your page for more interesting information. 

It may happen sometimes that even after many attempts, the fan pages don't accelerate as needed and the result happens to be a big "FAIL". 

This point is not for getting frustrated but to think more about how to bring more traffic to your fan page. For that some sort of "SEO" also is needed. This post mainly depends on this that "How to do SEO of Business Fan page"? Bringing all things in to my mind, I have made a list of 15 points for you to get through and enjoy a successful fan page. 

These were some of the points that every page owner should keep in mind while creating or promoting a fan page. Because after all you are creating fan page for viewers and not for your own self. 

We have discussed about creating Facebook Fan Pages, business pages, creating Static iFrame tabs, creating video contests, which mainly gave more exposure to the online world for your business. Taking it more forward, if people or your fan page fans are around your business location, then they will not be intimated through just business pages. For that you have to create "Facebook Places" in addition. 

 

In one of my posts earlier, I have mentioned about adding "Geo Location"  using Google Maps. But this will not intimate the visitors who are in the vicinity of your business location. 

 

If people are around your business location building, then using their mobile phone apps, your business details should pop up on their mobile devices. Using "Facebook Places" this is possible. 

In Facebook "Places"  is an application that allows location based feature on your iPhone and other smartphones. 

Not only for business but also you can see where your friends are by giving your real world location. 

Using this app, you can check in to the places. 

Moreover, for business if some events are upcoming then setting your location or places will bring in more public.

This post is mainly for business fan pages to set the location or the address of the business. Then using "Places" app, people will get notified about it when they are nearby you office or the exact location. 

Note that the details that you entered are correct and they will be updated in the system after few hours. 

So, when it is updated in the system of Facebook, the place or the location will be popped up on the users' iPhone when they are nearby or in the vicinity of your office or business. Using this they may visit the place and if you have set any event or offers, then they will really find that interesting to visit again and again. 

Videos and Photos make everything viral on Facebook. You must have taken your own example of uploading your own photo or video which got more likes and shares. Same trick applies for your Business fan Pages to make them popular.

To make any business page popular or successful, some tricky ways have to be applied. One of the main tricks that creates interest in your page visitors or viewers is "Video Contest". 

When it comes for promotion of business using Fan page in Facebook, lot of points and tricks have to be applied for doing so.

The promotion of the Facebook business page depends on most effective and important formats which are Photo contests, Video contests, surveys, sweepstakes, etc. Introduction of "Photo Contest" app was done in 2012 with the release of yet another similar app called "Video Contests". 




















What actually is "Video Contest" in Facebook? 


The fan page admins who have business pages want to engage their fans with some attractive offers and an opportunity to participate with brands on Facebook.

Video contests can be created with an app.

As "Videos" go viral, tricky way to promote any business page is to create a "Video Contest" for your fans and attract new fans."Video Marketing" is termed as the best way to promote your brand or business with correct arrangement of keywords, content and attractive offers for your visitors.


Why to create "Video Contests" in Facebook ? 

As stated above, videos go viral and termed as the best way to promote the business or brands. Think of an advertisement without their videos. Will you buy any product with the name and brand of the product just by seeing the label on it? Maybe the trust factor will be missing. That will be gained with the use of videos which will inform about the features of the product or brand.

In the similar manner, your brand needs exposure to more customers and to gain the trust of them the videos should be created. But the video contest factor or promotion technique will not only gain more visitors for your fan page but also engage them in the contest to win the "Special offers" decided by you.

• Viral Social Sharing
• Integrated social response
