Is Your Facebook Page Dull & Boring?

Is your page guilty of any of these:

• Posts are feeding from Twitter with short 140 or less characters and continual use of hashtags;
• Posts automatically feeding from blog posts and no other interaction ;
• Post after post promotes your product or services;
• Plain old text with no visual interest, such as images, videos or links;
• A page that is picking up likes from sources such as liking ladders so there is continual posts from others such as “I have liked your page, come like mine”;
• Same old posts over and over again with no variation;
• No interaction with likers posts and comments on the page;
• Posting a number of posts in a row and then not posting anything further for 24 hours.

Now, let’s wake it up!!

• Don’t automatically feed your tweets from Twitter – you are catering to a different audience on different social media channels;
• Interact with your likers and respond when they make posts on your page or comment on your posts;
• Ask engaging questions;
• Use the 80/20 rule – only 20% of posts for self-promotion purposes;
• Use images, video’s and links in your posts and not just text on its own;
• Don’t participate in liking ladders – it will do more harm then good;
• Vary the type of posts and information you are posting;
• Space out the timing of your posts by using the scheduling feature in Facebook;
• Posts don’t always have to be related to your business.  Try some humour and things that your audience will relate too.
