What is the best way to get fans to your Facebook business page?
What seem to be the easiest way to get people who have become your "friends" on your Facebook profile to become fans of your Facebook business page or to follow you on your blog? Does anyone have any suggestions that aren't too technical?

Hi Ronni,
If you look under your picture on the upper left of your "Fan Page" you should see, "Edit Page," "Promote with an ad," and "Suggest to Friends." if you select the last one it will pull up all the friends from your FaceBook personal page. Anyone who is already a fan will be grayed out. Click on each person you want to invite and a check mark will appear in the lower corner of their picture. Then you can send them all at once. I do this about once a week as new people find my personal page I use this to send them to your fan page. You can also run and ad and spend as much or as little as you can afford. That works pretty well too. I just joined your fan page. Let me know how you do. Best of Luck
Ronni,
Add 'Become a fan on Facebook' to your email signature. You might consider putting a link on your blog and website for your fan page. I would recommend adding it to your signature on any site that you participate on ie. LinkedIn, Twitter, Focus, and other social networking sites. I wouldn't make it too self promotional, but the more places that you can promote the fan page the greater the chance of adding more fans. Best of Luck!
Ronni, most effective techniques for me are listed in order of success:
1) Ask
2) add the "Like" button or similar to every place you have a web presence
3) Add a link into your email signature.
4) Include link in your profiles that allow you to list your "websites" such as LinkedIn.
5) Newsletters- ask and remind your subscribers to "like" you.

These work for both your Facebook page and your Blog.
Best of luck.
If you have the resources, doing a contest or a giveaway to people have become "fans" is a quick way to build a big list. I've seen this work well for both big brands and new brands. Use your other channels and Facebook Advertising to drive awareness of promotion.
If you can't allocate those kinds of resources, a lot of simple daily blocking & tackling will add up over the long time. The responders above listed the basic steps to converting your current channels into Facebook followers/fans. I'd have a Follow Me on Facebook (and Twitter) line on everything you do. Treat these lists as core business assets.
