It has been one year since I entered the vortex that is Dinkum Interactive and I have to say – I’m still here and having a great time! Each day brings a new challenge as well as new experiences. Working for Rick Simmons – our Chief Solutions Officer – allows me to get the inside track on social media and the like. It also allows me access to his overflowing brain of knowledge.
About six months into my tutelage, Rick asked me to post to our Facebook Fan Page. I have taken the task to post daily (or almost daily) trying to give our fans useful information about social media, SEO, marketing, etc. Every day, I learn new information that excites me to share with people who ‘like’ us. While I was doing research about some upcoming posts, I came across an article about increasing your Facebook fans from All about Facebook: The Unofficial Blog. This article fascinated me in that the fan base and feedback increased in an extremely short amount of time. I am working on taking some of the advice and using it to create a better page for our fans.
What are some things you’ve done to increase fans on Facebook? We’d like to hear from you!
In the meantime, check out the links above and also “like” Dinkum Interactive on Facebook – where we share articles and links daily. As always we welcome your feedback!

In the past two weeks, I attended two conferences that were world’s apart but linked. One was focused on large, profitable companies. The other involved nonprofits. They both discussed social media. The first conference featured CEOs, many of whom are grappling with the use of social media within their organizations. Each CEO had a bit of a different take on
Great resource, Kelly. I like that they used Facebook Ads with the purpose of increasing the fan base. Unfortunately, not every business has the resources or funds to embark on a Facebook ad campaign. This is where good old “word of mouth” comes into play — it can be links to the fan page on a website, blog, newsletter, or email signature line. Facebook vanity URLs should be proudly displayed on all marketing collateral – letterheads, business cards, brochures, and — in the case of a brick & mortar business — signage.
It’s become acceptable to promote your FB fan page far & wide. People have come to expect it. :)
Many people end up discouraged because they’ve been on Facebook a good while and they’re not getting the desired results. Often the reason is that they are not able to understand how Facebook fits into their overall marketing picture. By the way, I have just watched a free 19 minutes explaining well how to turn facebook to a customer magnet. Feel free to get it here http://on.fb.me/facebookmarketingvideo.
