When I started with Ellipse in June our Facebook fan page had 137 fans. Yesterday we crossed the 1,000 mark!

Here's a few pointers on how we did it:

1. Your fan page is not about you ... it's about your fans.
2. Have fun!
3. Ask questions
4. Post pictures ... lots of pictures
5. Give people a reason to want to be involved (contests, giveaways, and feedback work)
6. Share valuable content (articles, videos, resources)
7. Post frequently & consistently
8. Respond to comments ... good, bad or ugly, RESPOND!
9. Ask your fans to suggest your page their friends - there is a 'Suggest to Friends' option on the left side of your fan page for a reason!
10. Remember to say thanks!

So with that being said, thanks for being our fan! And thanks for bringing the social part to our social media world. We appreciate each and every one of you.

Happy Turkey Day from Texas y'all!
