Avoid content focused on your product and compose your posts with informative content with the potential to attract more fans and subscribers.
Audiences follow brands on social media because they’re looking for useful information, not just to see your product being promoted.
Regularly assess engagement to determine what content works best for your audience.

You need to promote your presence on all available media, but also make it possible for your site visitors and subscribers receiving your emails to share your content with their own networks as easily as possible.

Make it on every blog post, in your emails, on landing pages offering to download an eBook or webinar, the pages of your eBooks.

Use tools like Twitter Search, and Tweet Grader to classify other Twitter users in your business.
Follow them, participate in discussions and start conversations.
Finally, follow some of the people your followers (and the people you already follow) are following too!

You must regularly share informative and inspiring content, but also monitor your presence and interact with your fans and subscribers.
Ask questions, be approachable and responsive, and participate in discussions to create a presence your fans will want to follow.

Create a custom landing page tab on Facebook that will greet first-time visitors.
Then set the page as your “default destination tab” (the option is available in “manage permissions” when editing your page) and use this tab to encourage new visitors to immediately click Like!
