Social media provides you with an opportunity of developing a network with audience/members by joining the conversation. You have to create a Facebook fan page
of your own and also become a fan of Facebook pages of others. Facebook
pages can be created by official representatives for a company, brand
or celebrity. Your blog is your brand, so move forward and construct a
Facebook fan page for your blog.

become a fan of the pages of already existing Facebook audience. Create
a facebook page for your blog and supply your Facebook page
with the content of your blog. Update and persistently add interesting
and valuable information to you Facebook page and maintain the
conversation at a steady rate to keep your followers intact. By building
relationships with your Facebook friends, you indirectly grow your
blog's audience.
Searching for Friends on Facebook
The purpose of creating a Facebook account and a fan page for your blog is to using Facebook as an online marketing tool to attract targeted traffic
by enticing potential customers to your niche. So, you have to have
large number of followers which must grow even more. You need to find
people who fit your criteria and are interested in your blog’s content.
There are several ways to find or search people on Facebook. You may use
the search tool or you can find people by looking through the friends
of people you're already friends with. You may as well look through
Facebook groups and pages to find people with the same interests as
yours. Search by name, company, brand, group etc. and those who match
your criteria can be sent a friend request. Don’t worry or hesitate in
sending friend request as you don’t need to know the one who you are
sending the request. Some may decline or ignore your request but some
may accept and become a part of your Facebook network. This is the best
part of your efforts’ result.
Search for Groups as well as Create Your Own Group
Search for groups related to your blog’s subject area and join those
groups and participate actively in the conversation going on. You should
also create a group of your own on some topic on Facebook and invite
people to join. Send group invitations to all your Facebook friends.
Update your status, share great content, join conversations, and engage
with other people.
Promote Your Facebook Link
Add your Facebook link in your blog on top or in sidebar. That can also
be included in your email signature or at any other place on your blog
to encourage people to send you Facebook friend request.
Place a Facebook Ad
Placing Facebook ads will raise awareness of your blog and your Facebook
page. Facebook ads are inexpensive and can be targeted to advertise
what you want.
Acknowledging Other’s Status and Content
Spend reasonable time in conversations and commenting on other people’s
status. Share other’s content and respond to direct messages. This helps
make friends on Facebook and build strong relationships with them.
Spending all the time updating your own profile and sharing your own
content will not be a great temptation for your followers. Acknowledge
their comments, content and reciprocate. This will leave a good
impression of yours and more followers will come with a general liking
for you.
Link Your Other Social Accounts to Your Facebook Profile and Page
Link your blog’s RSS feed to your status updates. Link your Twitter feed and other social media
feeds and contents to your Facebook profile or page. This way, your
updates appear in your status stream for your friends to see. This
really helps you build a great Facebook profile that can drive traffic
directly and indirectly to your blog.
