Many online games and servers have Facebook pages, so why not us?

Why?
Facebook is a social networking site launched in 2004 that has almost 1 billion accounts. By adding a page for this account, we can reach out to millions of people. Many games and servers have been successful largely due to the fact that their Facebook page inspired new people to join. We currently do not have an official EcoCityCraft Facebook page. Our current advertising only reaches out to Minecraft voting sites.

How can this generate publicity?
When a user "Likes" or "Comments" on a Facebook post, it is seen by their friends, which may inspire them to join the server. A server with many "Likes" or "Comments" on Facebook will also look more appealing to those looking to join a popular server or looking for games via the Facebook search. To encourage people to participate in our server's Facebook page, we could host contests on our Facebook page which could include, but may not be limited to, raffle prizes to those who "Like" our server, prizes to those who generate the most likes by "Sharing" our server, and prizes to those who post the best screenshots of our server.

How will this help?
The friends of EcoCityCraft players will see that their friend has "Liked", "Shared", and posted comments on our server. New players would flock to the EcoCityCraft page and see the awesome screenshots and the huge amount of "Likes". Minecraft players would want to try out this awesome server, while others may be inspired to buy a Minecraft account. Anybody with questions about this server can ask on the page. They can see previous updates and poll results of the server. Veterans of the server can post their experiences and inspire new people to join. This will help our community grow and branch out of the forums.

Wouldn't this take a lot of work?
Yes, and no. The initial starting of the page would take some effort to make it look appealing. All the server's information would have to be added. But once this is complete, the page can start growing. We can ask our current community to "Like", "Share", and comment on our page, while offering a "bonus" to those who contribute the most. We could also start a EcoCityCraft Facebook Team to answer questions, post new updates, and host polls and/or contests. This team would be similar to the EcoCityCraft Wiki Team.

This sounds cool. How can I help out?

If you are referring to this, then I would like to inform you that this is a group, not a page. Groups are a small community of peoples/friends, while a page is the official Facebook site for a product or server.

 

I'm sure many people in the EcoCityCraft community and other players looking for a server do.

 

Alright, so you don't want this server to expand and wider community?

And here's some stats for you.
40 million people have registered Minecraft accounts, 7 million people have bought the game, and 4 million people have "Liked" Minecraft through Facebook. The current number of registered EcoCityCraft users is less than 10,000. There's 39,990,000 other Minecraft players out there, 6,900,000 other Minecraft users out there, and 390,000 other Facebook users out there.

And if you don't want your "Likes" and "Comments" to be shown to your friends, there's always the option to hide it from your friends. The only option that needs you to share with your friends is the "Share" button.

 

This.

And I'm sure that it will be well-maintained. We have a huge active community, and it's not too hard to find someone who would be dedicated to this job.
