I have seen some pages on facebook that do tremendously well in just 2 months from the time it was started. I know a site which got 2 million likes in just 3 months. I don't understand how those people make it. Any idea guys?
Facebook Secrets Contests Contests are a fantastic way to get a lot of people to join your fan page! You can have people post the contest to their wall in order to get more entries, which will help the contest go viral. People really enjoy entering contests, especially if they are easy to enter and have great prizes. You can even specifically state that the prize will be awarded when you hit a certain number of followers. That way you don’t have to award the prize unless you reach your target number of followers. Just be sure to keep the target number realistic, otherwise people won’t enter because they will feel the contest is a scam.
i think it depends a lot on the topic of those pages, if it's something that's hot it can go viral quick and the numbers will grow fast Or, those pages could be made by serious marketers who spend thousands of dollars in facebook ads so the likes grow like crazy.
There are a lot of different strategies to get instant engagement. Sharing centre is effective, you can easily find share for share groups (s4s) where admins share between each other. Fanwave worked the best for me (an App- you get connected to different pages, easier targeting, search of content, and insights in engagement). Every option is good, but keep in mind-constancy and quality are keys to viral success.
