00:00:00,310 --> 00:00:07,230
In this video you're going to learn how to use Facebook competitions to grow your Facebook page extremely

2
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:08,670
fast.

3
00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:14,850
Now Facebook competitions are such a great way to grow your page because they often get a huge amount

4
00:00:14,850 --> 00:00:16,010
of engagements.

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,700
So you can see here is a competition that I actually did when I first published this page.

6
00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:30,780
And that's a great time to use competitions to really help get awareness about your page and brand very

7
00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:37,860
quickly so you can see it's got a lot of engagement here and it also got a good amount of shares and

8
00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:41,340
likes as well and comments below.

9
00:00:41,340 --> 00:00:47,970
So the reason their competitions are such a great idea is because they give people an incentive to engage

10
00:00:47,970 --> 00:00:49,160
with your post.

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,780
The more people that engage with your posts than the more of their friends that are going to see your

12
00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:55,590
posts.

13
00:00:55,590 --> 00:01:01,530
So you can really create that viral effect and create a huge amount awareness for your posts through

14
00:01:01,780 --> 00:01:03,900
the social network of other people.

15
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:09,080
So let me show you just how to set this up and just put a free competition like this.

16
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,730
So this competition is closed.

17
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:16,940
So I added this comment in afterwards.

18
00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:20,270
So what you want to do is really create the competition.

19
00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:22,790
And then afterwards obtained it once it's over.

20
00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:27,720
So here's what I said and this is just to give you a couple of ideas it's obviously going to change

21
00:01:28,110 --> 00:01:29,030
for your business.

22
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:34,350
I mean in a show you had to find some ideas for competitions as well.

23
00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:42,210
So I said when two free passes to enter simply like uncomment Tag a friend or colleague you can take

24
00:01:42,210 --> 00:01:43,270
the course with.

25
00:01:43,710 --> 00:01:48,450
And the winner will be announced Friday 20 July just before the course launches.

26
00:01:48,450 --> 00:01:54,810
Good luck to everyone and I included a quick video here as well just to make sure they caught some attention

27
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:57,290
in people's newsfeeds as well.

28
00:01:57,300 --> 00:01:59,120
I recommend you do that.

29
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,520
You could even just create a simple post and competition time where have a quick video there.

30
00:02:04,590 --> 00:02:11,640
So when two free passes to enter simply like and comments and at the time a very small amount of Facebook

31
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:12,500
likes.

32
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:18,850
And this got 11 shares and 69 likes and colons etc..

33
00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:27,500
So the key thing is is you have to make part part of the entry has to be for them to take an action

34
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:28,350
on the post.

35
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,880
That's the key thing that's how you create that viral effect.

36
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:38,930
Now I do want to point out that for competitions on Facebook you do have to be quite careful about what

37
00:02:38,930 --> 00:02:41,600
you say in terms of entering.

38
00:02:41,690 --> 00:02:45,520
So to highlight this I want to show you the Facebook guidelines.

39
00:02:46,990 --> 00:02:56,970
These actually mention some things about competition so we go to promotion's says some guidelines about

40
00:02:56,970 --> 00:02:57,600
promotions.

41
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,210
The important part is is that

42
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:09,930
personal time personal timelines and friend connections must not be used to administer administer promotions

43
00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:17,520
e.g. share on your time line to enter or share on your friends timeline to get additional entries or

44
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,750
tag your friends.

45
00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:20,790
In this post to enter.

46
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:22,620
So that's the key thing that you can say.

47
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,210
You actually can technically say Like and Share to enter.

48
00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:28,680
That's why I said here.

49
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:31,670
Like and Comment now I said.

50
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:39,270
Tag a friend or colleague as an option so that wasn't that wasn't actually a term of entry but I just

51
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:41,220
suggested that as well.

52
00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:48,260
So that's a kind of a way to get around those those guidelines to simply say like and comments.

53
00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:54,560
The reality is is that most people don't strictly abide to these Facebook guidelines.

54
00:03:54,660 --> 00:04:00,990
She come into Facebook any typing competition you're going to see a lot of people say like this post

55
00:04:00,990 --> 00:04:08,250
tag friends and enter you're going to see people say simply share and like this posts and you can see

56
00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:10,130
that this was yesterday.

57
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:12,020
It's 7:40.

58
00:04:12,090 --> 00:04:16,910
It's still published it's got 50000 shares on Forte's and.

59
00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:23,070
So even though Facebook's guidelines say you shouldn't say share.

60
00:04:23,190 --> 00:04:29,910
The reality is that in practice a lot of pages are doing it without any repercussions.

61
00:04:30,210 --> 00:04:35,380
So my point is if you want to be safe don't make sharing a term of entry.

62
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:42,330
But if you want to try it out and do what most people are doing and get that much more viral effect

63
00:04:42,780 --> 00:04:45,050
you can actually include that if you want.

64
00:04:45,060 --> 00:04:47,540
So I'm just pointing out what people are doing.

65
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,630
The option is really up to you and you can make the best choice for your page.

66
00:04:52,660 --> 00:05:00,540
Key point to get across is no matter which way you do it that competitions are an incredibly good way

67
00:05:01,170 --> 00:05:08,370
to promote your page because you're you're creating that viral effect and using other people's friends

68
00:05:08,730 --> 00:05:14,380
to help spread your message when they share their message is going to quites all their friends.

69
00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:19,770
So I could have one person they have 200 friends most of their friends are going to see that or at least

70
00:05:19,770 --> 00:05:24,190
the ones that are engaged with competitions are extremely powerful.

71
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:31,380
And this is a simple type competition you can set up to really kick off her Facebook page or to do at

72
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:32,280
any stage.

73
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:37,800
They just work so well that you should really be doing these regularly enough if you something good

74
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,740
to give away.

75
00:05:39,030 --> 00:05:45,660
So go ahead and use Facebook competitions to grow your own page or consider easing them for clients

76
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,020
for a company's page.
