The next thing you must do is get your customers and followers onto your Facebook Fan Page. You can do so by encouraging them, whether through email or your website to join and “Like” your Facebook Fan Page.
Getting more fans
Besides asking your existing fan base or email list to join you on Facebook, another option is to advertise using Facebook’s advertising system. You can either send them to your Facebook page or send them to your website, but usually sending them to your Facebook page is the cheaper alternative.

Another simpler way of getting leads fast is simply promoting your landing page on your fan wall, since the fan wall is always the most popular and has a lot of eyeballs; the potential of growing your list fast through there is very big.

Whether you are a small business owner or own a huge chain of businesses, you have the potential to tap into the viral nature of Facebook to grow your business rapidly. Here’s how:
Every person on Facebook is connected to his or her friends through the network. Status updates of each person such as “Liking” a page, writing on someone’s wall will be shown on that person’s news feed.
What happens is this – When you get your Facebook fans to interact with your Facebook page, whatever actions they take will be shown on their news feed as well. This in turn would appear on the news feed on all of their friends. This will spark curiosity among their friends and they would be likely to click on your Fan page to see what’s going on.
The viral magic happens when more and more people start “Liking” and interacting on your page. Your fan page could grow 10 times the speed in no time!
