Is there any way to get subscribers from facebook for your site?

[Danlucy]

Despite all the users used to surf on Facebook and it's hard to have them on your site and subscribe for updates but I know there are some ways to get subscribers from facebook for your site? So what are some good guidelines to follow?

Thanks

If I was you I would take a careful look at your facebook wall, especially ads and posts which are being shared and going viral... You can learn a lot from simply observing what's going on... In sum you'll note:

1) An interesting caption, picture and excerpt which grabs a readers attention to click on to read more... Typically that takes them to an actual website i.e. the use of humour, story telling or trending topic.

2) Offering free bonuses is another great tactic... Simple and direct and gets people to sign up to your email list on your website.

3) Quizzes are really popular e.g. buzzfeed etc. A lot of people share their results to friends whom in turn give it ago... With setting this up you would place the quizz on your website.. Once on your website you can refer them to other pages e.g. at the end of the quizz mention for more info on a topic click here or sign up to news list etc

In particular I would consider the use of ads... You can get quick results... and/or in parallel join groups, discussions on FB with growing your following... and in turn using the above to refer traffic from FB to your website...

Hope that helps!

If you want to get subscribers from facebook then you need to grow a loyal fan base within facebook. The easiest way is to create your own group, fan pages are hard to promote these days if you're not paying for Ads.

The simplest way is to keep adding new people to your group on a daily bases, offer them valuable content via a blog then use your blog to get them to subscribe by placing optin forms on the sidebar, below each post and using popups (I don't use them though).

Ask members of the group to invite friends then give them bonuses for their effort. You can even run a contest, whereby the person who invites the most amount of people gets a certain bonus. Facebook makes it easy by showing you who added the new member and when.

Upgrade active members to become admins and give them certain privileges over ordinary members. Let other members know that the more they're active they'll also get upgraded. Then ask your admins to help you grow the group. But don't stop offering valuable content and also create a dedicated squeeze page for collecting leads.

Maybe create a special squeeze page that say something like "for members of 'group name'..." or anything similar. Share the squeeze page in the group once in a while and mix it up with your blog posts and affiliate offers.

This way, you will have something that is for long term. This is traffic on demand, at a push of a button.

BUT! It's not going to be as easy as it looks, grow your followers gradually and soon you'll reap the benefits, don't rush and never give up.
