Post a status update mentioning your facebook page.Don’t be afraid to outright ask people to join your facebook page.First of all by using more and more time on facebook. Ask and you shall receive.Give them a great reason why they should join, tell them news, or find a creative way to mention and link to your page:If you host (or attend) an event with several of your fans take a bunch of pictures, post them to your page, and then ask your friends to tag themselves in the pictures.If you can get your fans to upload pictures to your page, or tag themselves in pictures you uploaded, this will post to their walls as well and will lead to additional traffic for you.Using custom iframes you can create a dynamic facebook landing page with a “reveal tab” that contains content that is visible only to fans of your page.The more valuable your incentive is, the more people will be compelled to click the “Like” button to access it.Examples of exclusive content could be: An exclusive Video, an exclusive whitepaper/.pdf, exclusive pictures.The image below shows different levels of increasing effectiveness for acquiring new fans.

Facebook Badges are a simple, yet effective way to link to your facebook profile.

Status tagging is a cool and fairly new feature of facebook.
This feature allows you to tag any page or person by entering the @ sign and then typing the name of the page or person you want to tag.
Use the “suggest to friends” feature of your page. Use this feature sparingly. Personally, I try to only invite people go my page once because I know it annoys me when multiple people invite me.
If you have many friends you might want to consider using the “invite all” Google chrome extension, rather than clicking hundreds or thousands of times.
Installing a like button allows visitors to like your page, and when they do this posts the their activity stream.
This can send more traffic to your site and if you have a facebook “Like Box” and other content promotion your fan page, since this will help you convert your visitors into fans.

Any comments made can broadcast to news feeds and lead to more traffic to your page.
Setting up facebook commenting requires registering a facebook application, so act on this tip with caution unless you are comfortable with code.
Since facebook is so widespread you can use any forms of traditional media and achieve results.
Newspapers, Media Buys, Radio, and TV all work, but are often very costly.
To maximize your promotion offer a free gift to those who join you page.
