How to Easily Increase Facebook Likes From Website Visitors

Facebook Likes
Before we discuss how to easily increase Facebook likes from website visitors, allow me to preface by saying that I’m a firm believer in building your home base first.

What is a home base?

A home base is digital property that you own and control. It could be a blog, website, or podcast. Whichever platform you choose, it should be the place where you direct all Internet traffic.

Why is this important?

Because you can’t control anything else.

You can’t control Facebook. You can’t control Twitter. And, you can’t control Google+.

But you can control your home base.

Think of it this way — social media sites are tools to be used whereas blogs, websites, and podcasts are assets to be owned and grown.

So if you’re serious about building your online brand, you need to consistently focus on building your home base.

So Why Worry About Facebook Likes?

Because the more likes you obtain, the more people you expose to your brand, message, and home base.

Since Facebook is visited more than any other site in the world outside of Google, you can leverage their power by driving traffic back to your home base from your Facebook Page.

But as you gain search engine traffic from the content you produce, it’s also smart to grab Facebook likes right within your home base.

Why?

Because new likes open new doors to new connections.

When someone ‘likes’ your Facebook Page, your content will show up in their newsfeed and extend its reach to other people that aren’t currently fans.

So how is this accomplished within a home base?

Through a simple WordPress plugin called Mini PopUp.

Mini PopUpAs its name implies, Mini PopUp provides a mini popup that encourages website visitors to ‘like’ your Facebook Page.

And, it’s super easy to setup.

Just click on ‘Add New‘ inside of the ‘Plugins‘ section of WordPress, search for ‘Mini PopUp‘, click ‘Install Now‘, and then activate the plugin.

Once activated, go into ‘Settings‘, click on ‘Mini PopUp‘, paste in the URL of your Facebook Page, and click ‘Save‘.

Now when someone visits your website, the Mini PopUp will encourage them to ‘Like’ your page. If they don’t want to, they can easily close the popup by clicking on the ‘X’ located in the top right-hand corner.

Try Mini PopUp yourself! It’s super easy to install, super easy to setup, and a super easy way to grab more Facebook Likes directly from within your home base.

Question: What other ways do you use to try and grab more Facebook Likes?

Let me know in the {comments} section below.

NOTE: The developer of this plugin is from Portugal. Therefore all instructions are written in Portuguese. However, the plugin is simple to use regardless of the potential language barrier.
