I don’t bounce around online often, but a few weeks ago, I was blog hopping and noticed a few blogs with the Facebook widget in their sidebar. Some had lots of fans, others not as many. But what struck me was how easy it was for a reader to just click the like button and they would start getting the website’s updates to their news stream.
Having the Facebook icon among social media icons on your site is great…but readers have to see it, decide to click through and then like your page once on Facebook. The widget in your sidebar eliminates that step.
I’ve seen a huge increase in likes to the Facebook page on $5 Dinners since adding the widget to the sidebar, just below the main ad.
The How To
- Go to your Facebook page and click on Edit Page, in the upper right hand side.
- Then click Marketing in the left column.
- Then click on Add a Like Box to your Website
- Customize the colors, size, etc and click Get Code
- Copy and Paste the code into an HTML/Text widget in your sidebar.
Now sit back, relax and watch your Facebook likes increase exponentially!
