Facebook has changed quite a bit since 2012, but many page owners are still understandably struggling with how to invite friends to like a page. It’s an important first step to building a page following, so it’s definitely worth making the extra effort to correct.

Included in this post are step-by-step instructions and common pitfalls as that come up when inviting friends to like your Facebook page. The screenshots provided are for the desktop version of Facebook. If you are having trouble managing your page via a mobile device, you are not alone. Facebook’s mobile features are improving for page management, and they have a new section of their Help dedicated to mobile device specifics.

But, I still find the desktop version easier to use for now when it comes to administrator activities.
