Facebook follow buttons are widgets or HTML codes that allow readers to be directed to your Facebook business page. Along with a Facebook follow button, a Facebook share button will enable readers to easily share content they like on their Facebook personal page.

How to Add a Facebook Follow Button

Building a Following for Facebook Pages was much easier years ago. Today Facebook’s new algorithm makes it more challenging for businesses to reach their Facebook followers unless they pay for ads or “Post Boosts.” You will have to focus on optimizing your Facebook page to increase both Followers and sales.

Even though it is more challenging for you to see your artwork in your followers’ newsfeeds, Facebook is still a powerful tool for marketing and branding businesses like yours. 

According to Lindsay Kolowich, out of the estimated 1.39 billion current monthly Facebook users, 1.19 billion use Facebook on their mobile devices.

With over 1 billion Facebook users visiting Facebook from their mobile devices, you can easily understand why Facebook is a platform you should use to build brand awareness.

An easy way to grow your Facebook following is to add a Facebook Follow Button to your artist blog, and this is how to add one to your site.

WordPress plugins allow you to add different features to a website; however, you have to be careful about how many plugins your site has because they can slow down your site speed and hurt your PageRanks.

Always research and use plugins that do not slow down your site’s speed.

Build Your Artist Brand On Facebook

To successfully build your artist brand on Facebook, you need to have a clear vision of your brand.

Why do people line up for two weeks to purchase new Apple iPhones every year?

It is not because their smartphone is not working.

Apple has built a loyal following by creating a brand for its products and business.

McDonald’s is another excellent example of how powerful a brand is.

All you have to do is see the Golden Arches, and your brain starts thinking about hamburgers and fries.

You can do the same for your art business, which is easier than you might think.

To Build a Loyal Following:

  • Create a product people want. (Your artwork)
  • Develop an online presence with an artist blog and on social media.
  • Interact with your followers.

How to Have Facebook Followers Engage with Posts

According to Neil Patel, Not only are people spending 50% more of their time online reading content, but over 60% of people are more likely to trust a company that delivers custom content.

To engage your Facebook followers with your posts, you have to write pillar content that attracts, entertains, and inspires them.

This all starts with your artist blog.

Your artist blog will help your Facebook Page in two ways:

The first reason is that you can add a Facebook Follow Button to your blog. If people feel connected to your content, they will follow you on Facebook from your artist blog, as long as you make it easy for them to do so. You should add a Facebook Follow Button to your blog and every post you publish.

The second reason is that you can promote your blog posts on Facebook. If you have already written content your audience will love, share it on Facebook. They will be inspired to engage and share the posts because you provide valuable content.

When people engage with your posts, others will see the posts being shared. The more followers that share your Facebook posts, the more people will notice your brand.
