21 Facebook Timeline Games

Facebook Timeline Games! Facebook is a great place to generate fans, especially for authors. It's easy to write a post on facebook, but the best way to get fans is to play some games, get your fans engaged, have incentives that your fans care about, and most importantly exposure. There are plenty of pages that offer author takeover days, which I have found to be a great way to gain some exposure. Here are a few, Just Another Girl And Her Books, M&D's Have You Read? Book Blog, and A Book Whores Obsession.

Remember, when you are using another page as an admin, always tag your own page in each comment. Also, don't forget to ask for the like in every game you post. The incentives you choose to give these potential fans should engage them with you, but you need to get something out of it as well. You also want to invite your own fans and friends to like any pages you take over. This is good for you, and for the page admins. Plus, your fans are always going to want to be included in your giveaways. They also like to know what your up to.
