Reason #7 of 11 why folks are not responding to your Facebook posts?
  We are making progress.....

7. You’re not returning the favor

Speaking of “return,” don’t forget to return the favor. 

Commenters should feel like their feedback is appreciated –

 otherwise, 

what’s the point of getting involved?

 Be sure to respond when appropriate.

 So, this one stands on it's own. 

 Facebook is a site for social engagement..

.that means 2 way engagement, and in a timely manner.

Heaven forbid, should someone not like your widget, 

 just offer them an opportunity offline to discuss, make things better...

By All Means

Engage!  

Some organizations have actual engagement teams, 

whose purpose is social engagement online

 and in person,

 especially in the nonprofit arena.  

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

Reason #6 Folks are not responding to your Facebook posts.....

6. You’re not asking ‘why?’

Every time you post something to Facebook and expect engagement,

 ask yourself,

 “Why would someone “like” this?”

People like posts because

 they agree with them,

 find them interesting,

 or

 find them funny. 

That’s about it.

 If there’s no passion in the post, then you won’t get any in return.

This site sends out updates on where the donated money goes...

If you are a nonprofit, are you showing folks where the donated money goes???  Start today

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

Reason #5 People Aren't Responding to Your Facebook Posts...

5. You’re not sharing the right stuff

Since fans are passionate about your industry, you can bet that they expect news, tips, and photos that are from that industry.

 The idea is to start becoming a great community and,

 most importantly, a resource.

Confusing?

 Let’s say your business is a gym. 

You can share exercises and routines,

 but what else is your audience interested in? 

Well, it’s probably safe to assume that they wouldn’t mind healthy recipes, beauty advice, or posts that help them get to know their trainers a little better:

So, you become a knowledgeable resource in the area of all things fitness.

 

My cause is Kindness, and Peace

 to celebrate people and to inspire us.....

 to walk 1,000 miles in someone else's shoes before....well, you know the rest.

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

Reason #4 People Aren't Responding to Your Facebook Posts...

4. You’re trying to sell without getting to know your customers

Fans Like your Page because they’re passionate about your organization, but they’re also passionate about your industry.

That means that the occasional post about a product is fine, but make it clear that there’s a reason behind the post.

 Maybe the product just came in,

 maybe it’s a solution for a recently published news article … 

 or maybe the photo just came out really well and you know your fans will love it:

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

Reason #3...

Reason #3 people aren't responding to your Facebook..

3. Every post is a block of black-and-white text

A Facebook Page that is crowded with an army of text isn’t just painful on the eyes, it’s boring. Smartphones and digital cameras have made it extremely easy to share pictures of what you do, so don’t neglect those opportunities!

OR 

Post pictures of your widget!

Post pictures of your painting......

Better Still

Post photos of people using your widget or you painting...

or volunteers in action 

Photos make it engaging and fun and interesting...

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

So, folks are not responding to your facebook?

So, folks are not responding to your Facebook with a "like"?

One thing everyone needs to remember is that it is not important to get lots and lots of "likes".  You are after "likes" that matter. 

Reason #2 could be that the tone of your post is uninspiring.  

This does not mean there needs to be 100 !!!!!!!!! points at the end of every sentence, just make a little post about your passion.  Ok, I might just be talking to myself here cause I think I use a lot of those !!!'s.

Why are you so passionate about painting?

Why are you so passionate about widgets?

Why are you so passionate about your cause?

Kindness and Peace are my passion. 

 Perhaps my post should be:

 "what is the kindest thing that anyone has every done for you?"

or

"What is the Kindest thing that you have every done for someone?"

Just short and sweet and simple

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