Recently, our Shawn Inmon had some great tips for getting your author Facebook page some exposure. Of course, his advice will work for anyone with an FB page, not just authors. Go have a read of his article, then come back here and get your Facebook page some love!
This is how it works: If you are a person with a Facebook page you’re welcome to join in. This is not limited to being an author, publisher, publicist, literary agent, book reviewer, librarian, (but if you’re a book-lover – that’s awesome!), etc., in the comments below, paste in the link for your Facebook Page. Make sure you show some love to the links in the comments above yours, and check back throughout the day to catch up. (“Likes” from other PAGES do not count. Only “likes” from personal accounts register.)
IMPORTANT: Please do not reply to every comment in this thread. Instead, leave a comment on the Facebook Page you like saying, “Indies Unlimited sent me. Please like me back.” Then after you’ve done a bunch, come back here and leave a marker at the bottom saying, “got everyone up to here.” If people reply to each comment with “liked you!,” we will have to turn off comment notifications because we generate more emails than the SPAM guidelines allow. Thank you.
[Don’t forget, if you right-click the links, you can choose to have them open in a separate tab so you don’t have to worry about navigating back and forth to pages.]
This should be fun and should generate a lot of likes, follows, etc. for everyone who plays. Let’s get the party started!
To those with concerns about the ethical implications of “liking” the page of a book you have not read, we regard likes as more analogous to a “high five” than a rating or review. We do not support the idea of rating or reviewing a book you have never read.
PLEASE be sure to reciprocate by liking those who like you. This is give and take. If everyone plays by the golden rule, we all benefit.

The best thing anyone can do via Facebook is ‘share’ each other’s posts. This offers your followers the opportunity to actually interact with another author’s works, potentially growing that author’s sales and followers. Same goes for LinkedIn.

John, your link is not working.
It should work now, Ellen. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. 🙂
Respected friends,
See if you like mine, and please tell me there how I could make it more likable. Thanks.

Since I only speak English, it would be nice to have a translation on your posts. Not sure if there is a way to automatically do that, or if it is something I have to do if I want to read them. 🙂 Otherwise interesting. Lovely photos.
It would also help to have a real picture on your profile, and the cover of your books as your banner page. If you don’t have a book published yet, use something that shows you’re a writer.
Hey all, please don’t forget to like your host, Indies Unlimited! Much appreciated. http://facebook.com/IndiesUnlimited

Michael is correct. It makes a greater impact to share book posts!
Wow, what a bunch of interesting pages! You have all inspired me to put some effort into my author page for a month and see what comes of it! Here it is: https://www.facebook.com/Patricia-S-Bowne-The-Royal-Academy-at-Osyth-126179080781652/
Here’s my FB link – now onto the fun part of meeting everyone on theirs!

Done up to here now. All nice pages with interesting content! There were a few I couldn’t see how to post a comment, but I’m a little challenged with technology and social media stuff, so maybe I just missed something?
Thank you, Indies Unlimited for this bit of fun — good idea! Liked you, too 🙂
It is more polite to send a message than to post on someone’s page wqithout their permission.
Oh, thanks for the advice. I didn’t realize I was committing a faux pas. My apologies to all.
You’re fine, Chad. If folks post here, then they’re expecting you to comment on their pages. 🙂
Thank you, K.S. 🙂
Caught up with everyone up to this point. Here’s my FB link: https://www.facebook.com/BruceFottlerAuthor/
Thanks for this opportunity. Liked everyone above me. https://www.facebook.com/phyllis.h.moore.5
This is your personal FB page, not an author page. Do you have one?
Phyllis, I think you need to change your privacy settings. Only those who are already friends can like or follow you page 😉
Liked all above this. Mine is https://www.facebook.com/MaryCBlowers/.
Liked everyone up to this point. Some very nice websites out there as well!
Seems like I’ve already ‘liked’ most of you over the years! Just going back now to fill in the gaps.
I’m on
