Question Facebook + "Become a Fan"

Sign in to disble this ad
I put together a facebook page for the band I am leading. If I get 25 fans facebook will give me a proper url instead of the monstrosity with a huge amount of numbers etc. My question is how do you get people to "become a fan"? Is it the same as "Like" -ing the page? For the life of me I cannot find any "become a fan" link.

Cruiser.Vancouver | Facebook

BTW, if you would like to become a fan, it would be appreciated!

The "like" button is for your fans.

I you have a personal page, you can "like" your band then invite your friends to like the band. Then they can invite their friends and it will snowball from there.

EDIT: I "liked" you BTW. So now you have 13 fans.

Turn to your faith and bring your trust to your fellow bassist. They will help in droves.

so a question about reverb nation on facebook i figured this was a good place for it. I have a band that has less then 25 likes at the moment also. And i cant seem to figure out why the reverb nation thing with the music wont show up on the page is this because we dont have 25 likes or am i just retarded ha... The Vagines | Facebook or is it showing up and I cant see it for some odd reason?

Spaz... just google reverbnation + facebook + band profile. Facebook does not do it automatically... you have to add the 'band profile' application. Then you can tweak it.

IMO with all the problems and loss of users MySpace has been experiencing since their last site redesign I honestly think Facebook will/has become the new MySpace for bands.
