They are, in fact, a measurement of how you have been successful in interacting with the audience and how many views have you got.

Here are 4 wonderful ways in which you could quickly grow your Likes:

 

1. Like button on your website header:

For a number of websites, this has proved to be a constant driver of Likes on a daily basis. It doesn’t help you in getting a ton of Likes all at once, however, it will happen over time.

2. Facebook Ads:
