Having a beer in London, not caring if people LIKE my posts =)
Well, it's nothing new that Facebook is constantly changing their algorithms, so in return, your friends and followers are seeing much less of your content. Yeah, it's true...and one of the only ways to get the exposure that you had before is by placing ads and boosting posts =(. Hey, Facebook is a business, they need to make money just like you do! =)
As a business person, this kinda sucks, but as a non-business person (someone who doesn't rely or use Facebook for business) then I guess it shouldn't really matter unless you just like the attention =).
So here's the deal, I run a small internet company where I have a team of leaders who also their run own businesses. Some people call this franchising, and some call it direct-selling or network marketing. But who cares.....the point is that people in my line of work (and the general FB population) continue to complain about not getting enough LIKES and COMMENTS on their Facebook posts, so I just wanted to make a quick blog about "Why People Do Not LIKE or COMMENT on Facebook Posts".
Now just for the record, I'm no Social Media Expert, but I've learned a couple things, and this is what I've found to be pretty true.
TOP 5 Reasons Why People Do Not LIKE or COMMENT on Your Facebook Posts:
1. THEY DIDN'T SEE YOUR POST - Yup, you know....facebook algorithms =)
2. THEY ARE DISTRACTED WITH OTHER POSTS THAT INTEREST THEM - Look at that shiny object over there!! =)
3. THEY ARE FRIENDS OF YOURS, OR FOLLOW YOU, BUT ARE ALSO SOMEWHAT JEALOUS OF YOU - These people just need to unfollow, unfriend, or just block you. They don't really like you, but for some odd reason, they still secretly want to stalk you =)
4. THEY ARE WINDOW WATCHERS - You know, like channel surfing or going into your fridge every 5 minutes to see if there is anything new! #nope, just the same old stuff...oh wait, look..someone just bought a new house, I'm jelly!!! =)
5. THEY DIDN'T LIKE YOUR POST - Do you post every little thing about your life? Are you trying to get attention? There are some posts that just need to be kept private, agree?? =) Oh, and people don't like to be sold, so try not to post things about products, or learn creative ways to share it with people!
Have you ever said something face to face to someone, and they said "
no comment", well there you go....it happens on Facebook too =) Don't sweat it. You can't make everyone happy, and you shouldn't even bother.
My take on this whole thing:
Don't worry about people LIKING or COMMENTING on your posts. If you are worried about this issue, then you may have another issue that you might need to work on, just saying =) Yes, we as humans are all "reward-oriented" and we love to be recognized, but seriously guys....let's get back to our lives and just live a little. Try putting your phone or mobile device down for about 30 minutes a day. I'm sure that you will start appreciating life a lot more, and you'll LIKE not worrying about facebook =).
