How to get more likes on facebook... or not.

I say it time and time again to clients "It's not the amount of likes on a page ...it's the quality of likes on the page". The client looks at me twisted and acts like they understand but a week later they ask why there aren't more likes on their page. repeat.

Finally, I've found Derek Muller who can explain it all way better than I can in this video. He explains that there are two ways to buy likes for your facebook page.

1. Illicit Way: Buy them from businesses who sell you likes.

2. Legit Way: Buy Facebook advertising.

Either way... the amount of likes on your page don't mean nothin' to the success of your business' reach on facebook or to anyone who might buy your products.

Successful businesses on Facebook create interest by sharing posts, and posting original creative content. Thus creating loyal fans and followers.
Period. Exclamation Point. 

I beg of you... if you want likes on your page and buy facebook advertising, or boost posts thinking that it is increasing the amount reach on your facebook page Watch this video. Muller explains in a very clear, substantiated way; why and how purchased likes mean nothing more than the signatures on your yearbook in high school. All those signatures didn't mean a hill of beans unless they were true friends that you spent quality time with or had strong lasting memories with, who you even hoped to see at your next high school reunion, or no less spoke to once a month Or ...are even Friends with you on Facebook and not just acquaintances.

The basic gist of this Likes vs. quality customers conundrum is this.
Likes Mean Nothing To The Overall Reach And Success Of Your Company. 

Your business's overall goal is to sell more, reach more customers and encourage them to hear your stories and enjoy being apart of you business' world. You want them to engage, comment, like a post, and share. Not just Like your page as if it's some popularity contest.
