You can’t get enough pictures on FaceBook, especially if you have a Fan Page. With 16 Billion plus photos on FaceBook, this is an area you do not want to miss. It is a great way to promote your business and your Fans! Photos hit your Fans news feed, just like a post does. Add Captions, tag people and find the balance that makes photos interesting and comment worthy. Remember you must enable tagging of photos on your Fan Page, this is not on by default. Scroll down to the bottom right of your Fan Page and you should see a photo box and edit options, click on edit options and enable your Fans to Tag themselves and their friends in Photos. Why? Because when people are tagged in photos their friends see those pictures and as a result they see your Fan Page. This is an easy, cheap, great way to organically grow your fan base.

You can only tag people you are friends with, asking people to tag themselves works or find a contest or prize as an incentive for people to tag themselves. If you have a business with walk in traffic, start taking pictures of people and getting them up on the Fan Page, ask the people in the photos to tag themselves and to share the fan page with their friends. You can also put up a sign with your FaceBook address encouraging people to become a Fan of your page on FaceBook. Whatever you do, get photos on your fan page and start interacting with your people.
