FaceBook Hints:
How do I get Fans for my Favorite Fan Page (Even it if it is yours)?
Start under the Avatar (picture) on your FaceBook Fan Page where it says “edit page” if you are the administrator of the Fan Page, or click on “more” if you are just a Fan. More options will appear (see illustration above). One option is “Suggest to Friends”. Click on that and a window with all your friends will open. Click on the “All” option to send to every friend or on individuals to invite them to “fan” the page. Friends that are already Fans of the page you will not be able to invite again (sweet feature!). These invites go to two places email and in the request area on your friend’s home page. This will help you gain fans quicker.
People that use their mobiles often can text “fan Whatever the name of the Fan Page” to 32665 (FBOOK) from their mobile phones (with out the quotations), and they will be added as fans instantly. Standard charges may apply.

Chandra, you should mention that it may take time after sending invitations to folks that it may sit in their Inbox for days and weeks if they are not active on FB. Don’t spam them, just be patient.
Yes Mark you are correct! Just because you invite people doesn’t mean they will fan your favorite Fan Page or pay attention the invite for that matter. Please don’t invite people 10 times. They may not want to join for the same reasons all of us don’t join everything that we are asked to. Don’t take it personal and like Mark said be patient.
I think about 20%-30% of invitees fan a page. Then others join once the Fan Page is highlighted on their home because friends joined and it is interesting to them. And to continue in this thought a number of Fan Pages are visited regularly by people that never become fans. Don’t get hung up on numbers!
