Are you feeling a little "unliked"?

Is Facebook making you feel a little "unliked"?

You know that silence during a dinner 
when, 
suddenly, no one has anything to say?
That uncomfortable silence is being recreated on Facebook Pages everywhere.
Businesses are asking questions
 that go unanswered
 and posting news items and product pictures that tragically go
 un-liked.
There are 11 reasons, perhaps more or less,
 that you might be getting the cold shoulder from fans, 

1. Your questions are too personal....

Many small businesses and organizations know that questions can get fans involved, but it’s a certain kind of question.
 Don’t ask people what they’re doing for the weekend – if they want to share those plans on Facebook, they’ll do so with their friends.
Instead, 
focus on questions that directly engage what you know your audience is interested in
. How do you know your audience’s interests? 
 Well, they liked your Page, so they must like your industry. Go with that:
example: 
" If you would paint a landscape, where would it be?
If you knew your donation was going to educate girls..how would you help?" 
OR.....
Now you come up with a question folks will want to answer on your topic/cause.
(Come back for #2.......)

Where ever your footsteps take you,
go with great joy
and great kindness to one another!!!
