If you are like me, you found it much easier to grow a facebook group than a facebook page since you cannot send out “join” requests for a page and until recently we were not able to even see a page without logging on.  Groups however were easier to grow and a bit more viral in the features available. (Credit to my assistant, Karina, who discovered this recently for me.)

A request to Facebook and 24 hours is all that is needed to turn your group fans into page fans and maybe grow your page from:

this

to this

in 24 hours!!!

Here is all that is required:

1. Visit the Facebook Help Form Page.
2. Subject line should read: Convert Group to Page
3. Make sure you include the url for both the group and the page in the body of the request.
4. Watch your page fans grow!!

We doubled are fans with this new feature.
