Whether you are posting great content or paying for your followers to see your great content, nothing like losing out on opportunity, right? What I am specifically referring to is when someone who may not follow you ‘likes’ one of your posts. Hey buddy, that’s great that you liked my post, but did you know that you didn’t like my page? Yea, they didn’t think anything of it, but I am here to share with you how you can personally invite that person…. even if they aren’t one of your Facebook ‘friends’. Truth!
Invite your FB post ‘likers’ to follow your page with 1 easy step. Click To TweetSo, the best way is to show you so I am going to do this little/quick video on how to invite those folks who are liking your Facebook posts, but haven’t liked your page yet – let’s get them over there.
So, basically, you’ll need to be sure that you have more than 1 or 2 that ‘like this post’ and when you do, you’ll click on the ‘and others’ link of others that like the post. Another window will populate with all of those who actually liked the post and some will have already liked your business page, some might have already been invited but there might be a few that have ‘invite’ next to their name… feel free to invite those folks to the dark side, your Facebook following. Don’t forget to post engaging content to keep them there.
This is a cool little trick that hopefully you can follow suit with and increase your following on Facebook. But don’t forget.. you need to have a purpose on social media and shouldn’t be just posting to post, but hopefully posting to get them over to your website and more specifically your email list, as that is where the gold is.
Be sure you aren’t posting to post, post for purpose – what’s yours? Click To TweetShould you have any questions about social media, need some help on what to post or your email list, please contact me, as I am happy to help.

Great tip, Kristen! I love this tip. I am going to share it with my Admin clients that are doing their own boosting posts on Facebook. =) Great video too.
Thanks Sabrina, glad you liked and thank you for sharing!
That’s a great tip, Kristen and so easy. I’ve done it in the past but haven’t thought of it lately. Love the little video and hearing your voice! You always give great suggestions.
Thanks Beth… glad you enjoyed the video. I feel like I sound like I am 10. lol
This is a great tip…never knew this. I am going to have to try it.
YAY Christy.. learned something new. awesome!
Thank you, Kristen! I didn’t know this at all (I’m somewhat technologically challenged 🙂 But I just tried it and it works great! Cool beans.
Tech challenged or not Susan, with the right help, you can do it too!
Thanks Kristen! I love to learn new and easy ways to gain Facebook fans. You can be assured, I will be giving this option a try.
I’m glad you learned something new Trish, and better yet, that you will try it out.
Wonderful tip – I discovered this recently while doing a post boost but I forgot – so thank you for the reminder!
Glad you knew already Teresa but good if you got some engagement to help your numbers
Great tip and I like that you have a video with it. Thank you!
YAY! Thanks Michelle, I try to cater to various learning styles and sometimes things are hard to explain in writing.
I saw this topic come up recently in a group & was surprised so many people didn’t know about it. I’ve been using it for months & it definitely works. One add you might use when responding. One is to make sure you start using your personal name, not your page/business name.
What I wish they did was they don’t change the invited to liked after the person accepts & likes your page. It forever will show up in future posts as invited. So I try paying attention but sometimes I invite many at once & dont always watch for new fans.
Love your little tutorials.
Didn’t realize they didn’t change the invited to liked after, but then again, surely this wasn’t something to push… you know, they want our money first and foremost! lol Thanks Roz!
I did know about this Kristen and have used it a few times, although I somehow feel if someone only has liked one post of mine, it might seem presumptuous to invite them to like my page too. Enjoyed your ease with this and will consider inviting more people to like my page who seem a good fit for my message and my posts. It is always interesting to see who “finds” some of my writer page posts, as I have more interaction with some of my posts on my personal page. Sometimes those people I will send a personal invite for my business page and put the link in the message. When people invite me to like their pages and I do, I also send them a personal note asking if they will consider liking my writer page. Appreciate your easy to understand video tutorial too!
But think of it this way, Bev, if they don’t want to like the page, they don’t have to. It isn’t like you are bombarding people who never engaged with you. They have and they should be asked. They always have that option not to. Glad you liked the video, thank you!
What a great admin tip, Kristen. It really is all about some level of personal engagement that can draw someone in. Taking the time to reach out by inviting them one by one at times can pay off in the end. Your video was a solid and helpful step by step too.
Thanks Meggie, glad you liked it.. and I agree, can’t hurt to ask. Thanks for the compliment.. everyone learns differently and wanted to be clear on the how to. 😉
Thank you for the tip! I appreciate the new info. My fb page has grown slowly so I am excited to implement this.
You are quite welcome Krista! Hope you are able to use it all week. Growth is slow, for sure. Hang in there.
My non-techy self stumbled over this opportunity awhile ago. I don’t have a high percentage of people who end up liking my page from this method, but those I do get are totally worth the effort. Now to get them to my list. I hit 1000 FB followers on Valentine’s Day, but have a struggling list of 11. It can only go up from here, right? Working on that kick-butt free offer. . .
No worries Brenda, a non-techie can turn into a well versed business owner if you are open to new opportunities! Yes, it CAN only go up from here. List building is slow which is great that you started it early on! Get that kick butt offer out there!
Great suggestion, Kristen! I’m going to have to go back through my posts and do this. Thanks!
Awesome Carol, hope you do!
Yes….Good insight. Great job on your video.
Thanks Heather and welcome to my blog.
Thanks Kristen – someone had just mentioned this last week at a conference and this is a perfect reminder to step up engagement with those who have indicated an interest in content I’ve posted. Love the video!1
Glad others are spreading the word Deb and thank you
Another good tip Kristen. I need to get better at social media engagement. I just thought that people would naturally like you page if they wanted to. Now, I see the value in having an invite. It also reminds them of who you are.
It’s always hopeful Joyce, but consider there is so much out there, they have to find you first.
Great tip Kristen. Definitely a good way to save money on like ads.
Or make the money on the ads beneficial, right Webly?!
Great idea. I will have to try it. I don’t want to be spammy but if FB offers that option, I will use it.
You aren’t spammy.. consider that you reached them and they engaged Karen.
That’s a great idea. When I first started, I didn’t even mind creating a facebook page for my website. It was something I never considered doing. And then I saw how effective it was in terms of increasing traffic and getting people interested. That’s when I decided it was time. Thanks for the tips!
It is very effected… glad you are going to give it a go Elizabeth.
I agree that you shouldn’t post just to post. I see that online often.
Oh so true Indira!
Thanks! I just did this; can’t wait to see if anyone comes back and likes the page.
They will and over time, it will be beneficial Stacey. Try boosting posts too. 😉
This is genius!! I have been getting a lot more FB engagement lately, but not a ton of new page likes. I’m going to put this to the test this week. THANK YOU!
Awesome Chrysa.. so glad you are getting engagement, that is key… now get them to like it!
Great tip! Now I just need to figure out how to get the readers who have liked my page to interact more!
That’s the hard one Heather, that FB has made harder. Try boosting your posts. 😉
That is really a great idea! I’m very glad I came across your blog!
Thanks Renata, I’m glad too!
Such an easy thing to do, and I had no idea it was there! Thank you 🙂
It sure is easy Ashley, and thank you!
Hey, Kristen. Love your video tutorials! I had heard about this but have not done it yet. I guess I was afraid of being pushy? Anyway, thanks for reinforcing that it is ok to ask and hey, if they don’t want to like my page, they don’t have to! 🙂
Thanks Mindy, glad you liked the ‘like’ video. I didn’t figure being pushy since THEY engaged with us first.. but yep, they don’t have to take the invite.
