Promoting your blog in Facebook is long term and time consuming affair. But the good part is, once you have built a good list of friends, you have joined good many useful groups, became fan of many Facebook pages by your friends or other blogger, your blog promotion becomes easy and you can expect some good traffic from Facebook regularly!

After that one needs to reply requests from other users, keep posting few links in groups, you will find good traffic to your blog. Connect your tweeter account with Facebook to update status of your Facebook profile. This is of the most useful way to publicise your blog post in Facebook.

Here are few applications on Facebook where you should join and participate actively in order to be visible.

1. Facebook Page
Create Facebook page like the How Blogger Earn Online Facebook page. Put the widget on your blog. Also, put the page in your facebook profile. Ask your friends to become fan of your page. You also become fans of your pages.

2. Group
Join Facebook groups which is similar to your blog. Start giving out good information related to the group. Initially do not flood the group with link back to your blog. Rather start with useful and good information from famous blogs. After that only you should put links of your own group. I would suggest, for every 4 posts of useful information, you put only one link to your own blog.

3. Network Blog
Create a network blog like I created for How Blogger Earn online. Ask your friends to follow your blog. You also follow others blogs. If you follow other bloggers blog, chances are, they will also folow you back.

4. Blog
Facebook does not have its own blog. But it has many blog applications. Add one such blog application. Write small note of your blog posting there with link back to your original post. Search engines crawl Facebook much faster. So chances are your articles there would be indexed faster.

Do not spam groups in Facebook with your links all the time. This may result your ban from the group. Best way is to create a group similar to your blog topic and invite others o join there. Even if you join other groups, then be active and be visible. Post regularly so that people start recognising you. Then build your reputation by writing small but useful posts there. Participate in discussions, provide links for further readings.

Spend time in Facebook with your applications above. Keep adding friends from your groups. Always reply any message as soon as possible.

Be polite and never be rude. Comment constructively and never criticize others. This will earn you good will and build your reputation. You will get more friend requests as well.

The simple logic is, get more and more friends and engage them. They are your loyal visitors to your blog. This way you will get more visitors to your blog and increase your chances of earning online more.
