How To Build Facebook Likes With Dropify [Case Study]

Guest post from the Dropify Blog.

By the time indies saxophonist Reeves stumbled upon Dropify, he had roughly 1,700 fans on Facebook. His mixtape had already been promoted on several blogs and it was available for stream on SoundCloud and a few hosting services for regular download. Despite the mixtape getting nothing but praise, people hardly found the way to Reeves’ social profiles, including Facebook. Even those who probably would’ve loved to become a fan of his didn’t invest the time to manual look up his Facebook Page. The result? A lost opportunity.

After reading our article on how to combine SoundCloud with Dropify for increased fan growth, Reeves gave Dropify a shot … with MAJOR impact!

In less than a week his Dropify dashboard displayed more than 1,500 individual downloads. Since Forced Like Gating had been activated, 1,400+ people who downloaded the mixtape became a fan of Darryl Reeves in the process. The other 100 people already had been a fan of his.

By being a subscriber to Dropify’s Small plan, Reeves SO FAR gained 1,400 new fans at just $9 total. That’s only HALF A CENT per new fan!!! Yes, this ain’t no spelling mistake. And let’s not forget that these fans are actually into his music, since they intentionally downloaded a Jazz mixtape. There is a good chance these people will actually interact on his Facebook Page, recommend his music and follow his career in general, since they are a truly engaged. Right now his Facebook Page counts 3,258 fans – almost twice as many as prior to using Dropify.
