I love what <a href="http://www.amberweinberg.com/blog/2009/10/27/six-pixels-of-separation-review-free-giveaway/" rel="nofollow">Amber Weinberg</a> did to encourage people to "Digg" her blog - she offered an incentive by offering a chance to win her copy of the book "Six Pixels of Separation". I bet a similar method and creative thinking could be used to get people to become a fan of a business page on Facebook. It's a low cost measure and I'm certain the return for her far outweighs her investment. Thanks for your feedback!!! Great point Megan, I’ve noticed that too!

I've always thought that the word 'fan' is a little misleading, I would rather have had it say something like 'follow this page'. You can post all the cool and creative content you want, but if you only have a few fans, no one is seeing it, and it seems to take quite a while for the snowball effect to take place. Perhaps the answer is incentives for becoming a fan...hmmm... Thanks for the article, I liked the link to business apps as well.
