FB page without ads

Has anyone ever run a successful facebook page without spending a penny on ads? If so how did you market it and promote it?

Yup ^^ Let's visit my friend's fanpage: facebook.com/kimgarstboomsocial/. She got thousands of follower without Facebook Ads. Here are some tips you can apply to get thousands follower without spending any penny like her
1. Be human
People want to be able to relate to your brand. Images have a great way of making you and your business relatable, which is why they work so well to increase Page likes. When people believe you are relatable and personable (i.e. a real ‘human’!), they are far more likely to recommend and share your content with others.

Some others ways to become more ‘human’ are:

• Telling stories people can relate to
• Building trust by regularly sharing these stories
• Being transparent with your audience
• Building relationships with your fans: It is not enough to post content, you need to respond to questions and engage in conversations

2. Hold Facebook Contests.
Running a contest on Facebook is a great way to increase Page engagement and overall Page likes.

In order to ensure your new fans are actually interested in your business or products, try to choose a prize that is relevant and valuable only for your target market; for instance, rather than giving away cash or an iPad, give away your products, services or a gift certificate for your store or business

3. Promote your Page outside of Facebook.
If you already have a healthy list of email subscribers and other social media followers, why not encourage them to like your Facebook Page too?

The same goes for your website and blog visitors. Make sure it is easy for them to like your Page by adding Facebook like and share buttons on every page of your site.

You may also want to embed a Facebook Like Box on your page to entice your website visitors to come participate in conversations taking place on your Page (to show current posts and conversations in the Like Box widget, be sure to select ‘Show Posts’ when creating your box.)

I have a Facebook page and i have been able to gather close to 500 likes to it and i achieved this by posting new, fresh and interesting topics to my page that will be of great benefit to them. i have also created some powerful backlinks in high authority sites to rank my page high and get traffic visitors. but i will recommend that you buy facebook ads since it is very cheap and reliable and very much guaranteed that you will get traffic from it..

The only Facebook Page I've ever taken part in is the one for our business. We've not really pushed it too hard up until this point and I've been looking at ways to get it in front of more people.
