how do commercial companies increase facebook fans?

[Zeekinder Rahman]

you can buy facebook fans from commercial companies... how do they achieve the results?.... do they use bots?... do they have software programs which create fake fans?...

I am very curious, because they can make lots of money... I'd like to do the same!!!!

No, and its against Facebook rules.

But if you're serious about it:
-You'll need to create a quality product that people use and enjoy.
-You're unlikely to create Facebook fans for an actual item, mascots and characters do better as they are relateable.
-Then you need to advertise your product's mascot everywhere in a manner that attracts large numbers of people. Advertise this characters Facebook on all your ads.
-HOPEFULLY you'll get some of your customer base to become a Facebook fan.

They use various techniques such as lists etc, same as companies would do with email addresses.
