OK, here is the winning idea! Get your IT guys to install FACEBOOK CONNECT on the action websites. It is so cool, this is what it does! Let's say a user fills out a business health check, it will automatically transfer their profile from facebook to the BHC! That's right! But it gets better! When they fill out the BHC, it will update their profile "xxx just filled out the BHC and scored x out of 20. Click here to do the BHC now, or become a fan of Brad Sugars." Now, imagine if every time the BHC is filled out, a users facebook profile is updated, and YOUR NAME is mentioned on their profile. That sounds like a powerful marketing tool to me! Wed at 8:04pm ·
Too simple, just never knew of this software, also now found one that allows you to request people Status Update after they leave your website saying "just visited www.actioncoach.comand learnt a whole lot about business ... "
How about.... create a competition between Tony Robbins, Zig Zigler, Harry Beckwith, Spencer Johnson, Larry Wilson, Ken Blanchard, etc... On day 1, Tony Robbins is encouraged to tell his fan base to begin following your fan page... then day 2, same for Zig Zigler, day 3, Beckwith, etc.. etc... Then, you can easily track your quick increases in fan count, and likely as the competition gets near the end, it will get more exciting and the fans will pour in.... Then winner could get $$$ to their favorite charity, get to borrow Brad's Lambo for the day (week), or something else of interest for those players. Happy to explain more on the phone if you like the idea! Yesterday at 6:17pm ·

First - Learn. So I typed in google - 'more facebook fans'(without the quotes). Found a whole bunch of ways from people who are already answering this question. I won't post them here because they're not mine. Then test and measure and see which method gets better results. August 18 at 9:28pm ·
Add the link to your websites and your email then give an incentive. Remember: Don't discount, add value. Maybe you should give away a chocolate eclair. August 18 at 9:39pm ·
Offer them an information product that shows them how you can overcome the problems that keep them awake at night?
Wed at 1:16am ·
The fact that brad offered $3000 to get fans means he is not getting them for free. He was looking for strategies on how we could get them for free. But extremely good way for him to get fans for low acquisition cost whilst testing strategies to get them for cheaper. A win-win. Wed at 1:37am ·

Got it! A Human Treasure Hunt. YOU create a list of let’s say 50 “Advisors” who would add value to ActionCoach as a resource. People with a specific skill set or talent who would be willing to assist others with their needs. Ex. Big 5 accountant, Google Adwords Expert, International Trade Lawyer, etc. Then, run a Treasure (Talent) Hunt and have people go find them! Make a list of the 50 skills and have the new “professional friend” put their name and skill, and who invited them. The winner gets $1000! Just a thought. :) Wed at 5:46pm ·
This isn't just about numbers ... it's about developing relationships ... so there has to be some personal contact. The next big thing over the internet will be 'vmail (video mail)', as a replacement for email.
So here's the campaign - offer a series of video/vmail messages with increasing value in each. Ask for vmail messages/testimonials from everyone already in your fan page to also include in your messages. Then escalate the offer by sending potential new fans to your fan page for even more value. Wed at 6:58pm ·

Make a facebook app - perhaps the Business Health check as a facebook application. To use the app, you need to become a fan of Brad Sugars. That means you are not only gaining fans, but also leads! Facebook apps are so hot right now! Thu at 6:28pm ·
Well personally Brad - I think you need to invite a Professional Event Photographer to EVERY seminar you have - that includes the free introductory ones! You know a picture speaks a thousand words - and we love to get our work seen by as many people as possible. Think of all the talking that would save you!!!! Wed at 5:10pm ·
Review all the touch points that you communicate to clients with... Then attach an offer that benefits the greater good. "For every person that joins my facebook page, I will donate $1 (or whatever) to XXX charity" It will not only encourage people to join themselves, but to actually forward it on to others. And when you make the donation to the charity, you can leverage it with press releases and get even more people to join!!! Wed at 7:29pm ·
Create dozen landing pages for each of your free ebooks (utilizing the resources you already have) and each landing page target only on one issue (one and only one issue), for example, a page deals with people who has problem in putting classified ads on newspaper.

Here is what you do. WRITE THIS DOWN. Ive seen it done and it has amazing results! Take any one of your email marketing campaigns. Just go to one of your lists, and send out a blast. Instead of sending the email from "Brad Sugars", go in and change it to "Facebook".

I guarantee that this will massively grow your following every time you send out a blast. Let me know how it works! and message me when i've won :) Wed at 7:44pm ·
You need a reason why they want to join and there has to be something in it for them.. People love the idea of getting something free or winning something - you could decide on that.. and another thing all these funny you tube clips you love create on of your own with your family - you the girls and your wife, people love it if they think you are human as well, l not just some rich dude trying to make more money and have a joining place there - make it fun.. Wed at 8:42pm ·
Create a game similar to mafia wars / farm town - but something like ( what would would suit you ?? ) property tycoon?

Good Luck :) Wed at 8:56pm ·
How about offering a 1 hour coaching session with you (The Brad Sugars) for the person that becomes fan number 25,000 or some other other number that you are looking for? Value it at a few thousand $$$. Have all Action coaches post this contest on their facebook pages and in all business groups as well as email all of their clients. You could even do the prizes in tiers. Level one could be a signed book. Level two one hour coaching session with you. Level three could be a trip to Las Vegas to meet you. Wed at 9:03pm ·
Another idea is to leverage some of the newsletters from people like Jeff Gitomer and other great global speakers that have a following. I'm sure you could come up with a great guest spot on their site that already gets thousands of hits. Wed at 9:06pm ·
Here is a special invitation link: http://bz9.com/BradleySugars that can be put on any page, even Google. You may need to wait a moment for the pop up Thu at 1:08am ·
I believe this method will work for people like you. It will not only getting more people to your FB network, but also giving infinite number of ideas for social marketing as long as you keep the site running. Here is how: Setup a single page website with copy or video (make sure they are short to the point) like: "Hi, I am Brad Sugars from ActionCOACH. I am going to give away $3000 every three months for the best ideas of getting people on social marketing networks, these ideas will be seen by all people in the networks and I will choose top 5 and let all members to vote for the top three and I will pay them cash" Join me in the network and post your ideas, the cash can be yours.This one-page website need to have domain name like, ideasforcash.com or something like that. the only message on there is "I am giving away cash for ideas to get people on to FB", but the idea itself will cause a lot of people to add you in order to be qualified in the first place.

I think it has got to be FUN...... and a bit of a mystery as well. So, you entice people to join up to Bradley J Sugars Facebook page and promise that "You will REVEAL all" for FREE if they do so. That way it may have a naughty connotation but in all honesty your little bits of wisdom in your daily comments does reveal it all i.e. the secrets to success:-) Thu at 3:42am ·
Hey Brad lets not focus on the result.Social media is dominated by young people I went 2 your seminar in Brisbane and the majority of the Audience was over 30. So lets focus on attracting the Audience below that lets look at what they like as this could be your biggest growth area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ7R_buZPSo this video has 5 000 000... in 2.5 months.Lets get away from the business side lets show people about u,lets take them and show them something truly great about your life that we can sell too them and in return they will join your page just so they don’t miss out on what’s next and there chance to have what u have.That’s how u got me 4 years ago you were on ABC radio talking about ur 2 big screens one for the xbox and the other for the footy not business just lifestyle. Lets post some videos not as well budgeted as the one above preferable ones that don’t need a budget at all. How much extra would it have been 2hve a camera man at ur wife’s helicopter bash?

Do a fun comedy skit with me on You Tube ...I will write it (or have it written) ...it will be topical but still relevant to business owners...EDU-TAIN your way to a new audience... Thu at 4:53am ·
Have all of your coaches add a link to join your FB Page to their newsletters. The benefit to clients taking immediate action is to offer 3 months free coaching for a name drawn from new FB fans created during a certain time period. You pay the Coach that provides the 3 months free training and they may even get the benefit of gaining a new long-term client. Thu at 6:26am ·
Create, buy, borrow, beg but DON'T sell something of value to other people and offer it for free. Then promote it with all the avenues you have available to you. The cost of creating these new leads will be very low, if not free and by honing your conversion skills you will make them even more valuable. Thu at 2:42pm ·
Be the best "you" you can be. People are attracted to success. Don't lie, but put your best you forward. No matter if it is in person, via email, a website, a blog or here on facebook, you are on show and only have one chance to make a first impression. Thu at 2:47pm ·
Pick one of your products/services that would appeal to a laser focused market segment, build a page on your website specifically for that product and that demographic, then use a unique/niche way of driving that group to your site/offer. IE: You have a product/service that's indispensable to soccer moms with kids aged 8-9. Supply your local under 10's soccer, baseball, football or rugby team with balls with your website page address on it as well as mini balls with the same for each kid to take home. A hit counter on your page combined with recording your uptake on the specific product will also provide you with great info about the effectiveness of your advertising and your conversion rate.

I will email out to the masses and post up via Internet/fb/twitter etc. "Become a facebook fan of World's Leading Business Coach, Brad Sugars, and I will pay him $1,000 to spend 10 minutes sharing VITAL business information with you via phone. Email me NOW for a link to his fan page." Then I pay you, Brad, the $1,000 and set up a Conference call for all who become a fan via me 
Details of the call will go out via email. Thu at 4:33pm ·
Details of the call will go out via email. Thu at 4:33pm ·Hi Brad, you get more comments and conversations about your posts than anyone else that I know and follow. Through your photos and posts you allow us into the life of one of the most successful businessmen on the globe.
The massive link that Facebook has given us is the ability to use an electronic medium to still give personal referrals and recommendations.
If you can offer an each one reach one program where a post is a link to a free audio download of yours The link would take you to a form on your website where there is mandatory fields to be filled in, by people logging on and providing an (or lots) of email or facebook referral to your database they then win as well and get some up to date Guru information from the man.
I reckon the best thing you have on your posts Brad, is the fact that you are active on Facebook and you comment on what people say on your posts. You are reachable and real and this is fairly unique, I value that immensely and thank you for it. Col Ahearn Thu at 4:47pm ·

there is a giftbuilder app here on facebook. we've garnered a lot of new business by creating garden trading cards. they can only unlock a certain number of gifts per day.
1. get everyone to join the fan page

3. state that when your fan page reaches a certain number of fans, someone will be chosen for a free coaching session. they must be using the gift app and be a fan to be eligible.

A great idea is to hide something on your Facebook page that people have to find. The first person to join as a fan and find it gets a phone consultation with you. Email the contest to friends and ask them to forward it to their friends etc. I borrowed this idea from the fabulous Mari Smith. Thu at 6:22pm ·
I reckon you should give out random cash prizes to contributors on your facebook page for kick butt contribution of ideas....eg $100 a throw for something that delighted you or taught you something. And that faster than anything else will get people to start putting quality contributions and that in turn will get more people interested etc.

what if every ActionCOACH works with our clients and comunity and let they know that you are going to give us 7 webminars for FREE if we help you to have 1,000,000 fans?

Use the power of Geometric Progression combined with the 7 degrees of separation: Invite 10 current friends to invite 10 uncommon friends to invite 10 new friends and so on down the 7 generations. Thus 100,000,000 new friends. With the power of the communication networks we now have at our fingertips you will have it much easier than Stanley Milgram.

What ever you do it facebook, it must be consistant with the brand image u are trying to develop offline. You don't want to do something that is going against your brand imagae. Again, we need quality fans and not fans that just add up but dont really know about Brad.
What i am suggesting would be an addup to others strategies that you may use. Since you are selling thousand of book and giving away seminar each year. It would be better to include the suggestion to add facebook to keep in touch with you in the front cover of each books as well as mentioned it in podcast or seminar. It would'nt hurt to leverage existing media isn't it ??

But wait... there's more... all you need to do is to ask every fan invite all of their friends, including all groups and fan pages. If only 10% respond, you'll be there. Very simple. No contest or expense needed. Yesterday at 8:46pm ·
Form an alliance with all philanthropic FBers (known like Jeffrey Gittomer, Keith Cunningham etc) to promote to their FB members that everyone who connects to Brad will be contributing $1 to charity (your choice) with a goal of raising $1,000 per day for 10 days.
Hey, just ask and be very inviting about it! (Which you’ve done!) You’ll get them; no worries!!
Awesome . . . I’ve copied this into a document so that I can sit with it, read and digest it and then take massive action.
Leverage certainly seems to be the key and this ‘new’ technology certainly makes it easier. I’m amazed how quickly things spread and people connect. It’s a wonderful thing.
Great to see someone like Brad so visible too.
Amazing sharings, thank you.
Awesome post Brad. The power of facebook and social networking for business is constantly increasing…just gearing up for the second phase of Social Networking for Business…how the vast data contained on consumer behavior will be utilized…the world’s biggest most detailed and accurate market research study ever conducted…
Hi - really good site you have created. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to write a remark to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically delightful. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor in chief for a marketing firm. I have always enjoyed working with computers and am attempting to learn code in my spare time (which there is never enough of lol).
