Here are the five ways you can use to get more likes for your Facebook page without spending a dime-

1. Use other Social Media Profiles

You can run a contest on the Facebook page that requires the user to like the page first and share this contest on other platforms. Websites like Google+ and YouTube allow you add links on the profile homepage, leverage this feature and connect your rest of the social profiles on these platforms.

2. Ask Email Subscribers for Likes
