Facebook is the KING of all social media! More traffic arrives from Facebook to FameTube, than any other link thru. The most popular tip is the first one below.

• Send FB status updates daily with a link to your video.
• Create an “Event” on Facebook, inviting all of your friends to vote for your video. This is the 2nd best tip on this page! You are not actually inviting them to an event; however, you are inviting them to help you get discovered and vote. This trick is great because it remains in their event folder until the event date arrives, which should be set to the last day of the month. This can done by clicking on the “event” tab on the left side of your wall, and then clicking on “create event”. Remember to include your video’s link in the details box.
• Click on the FB “Like” button on your video’s homepage.
