Facebook.....

There's your problem H!

We got about 70 (I think) but in all honesty most of these are my friends.

You don't normally get work directly from Facebook - apart from the buy/sell pages. The work comes from the social network element where people talk to each other about who cleans their windows, solar panels, gutters, etc. These people will then look at your Facebook page before (if at all) they look at your website.

If you've got 200 customers, statistically 100 of these will have activate Facebook accounts. This means you're only reaching out to 1/5 of your customers through Facebook.

When you speak to your customers, let them know about your Facebook page - maybe offer some kind of prize draw every month. Give people an incentive to be on your Facebook.

Don't bother buying Facebook likes as this defeats of the object of the game.

well it takes time like many people on hear says it takes time just say that facebook isnt the way to go as far as i know people on hear just knock doors or leafleting etc thats how there getting customers.

i just hope i can at least 20 befor christmas and the rest of you lot dam how long has it taken you to build up your round ???? i envy you all

I've only got 55 likes on facebook but a lot of jobs I got from the for sale pages they book me and like the ad instead of my page so if they did it right I'd have a lot more. I gave up trying to tell em to like the page, if they don't it's not the end of the world lol. Like Iain said it's the for sale/wanted pages that bring the jobs early on but you ought to offer some kind of incentive and have a stand out ad, the incentive isn't essential but it will help.
