You Read My Facebook Page Every Day, But You Still Haven't Liked Me?

I was chatting with a friend on Facebook the other day and she said that she reads my Facebook Page regularly. She notices when I haven't posted in a while, and lets me know. So I was scrolling through my "Likes", people that follow you on your Facebook Pages, and she wasn't there.

I mentioned this to her and she said something to the effect, "I don't need to "like" you to follow what you are posting. True, but it sure would be easier, I thought to myself.

Maybe I just find it easier on these social sites to "like" a page, or "subscribe" to a blogger, or "connect" to a professional. It seems that to check in manually with people on a bunch of sites is too cumbersome to do regularly.

After thinking about it, why didn't I just ask her to "like" my page. Maybe she doesn't know how, maybe she doesn't understand what it means. Maybe I should do a better job of getting people to the page to "like" me.

I'll guess you're always a bridesmaid but never a bride.  I "liked" you Tom so what more could you ask?  I'm stuck at 24 likes so if you have an extra click laying around, send it over here. Thanks.

Doug, I am now #25!

I liked the landing page, do it yourself? Maybe I would get a better response with one.

I think it's the fear of rejection factor-hate to scare her off!

Tom, We haven't set up a business page yet, so we just have my personal page.  We've had a few clients seek us out and Friend, but not many do, and we haven't really pushed it.

Maybe you just need to be nicer to make more friends.  LOL.

I do think many people don't understand how the site works.

I don't have the time to work on facebook as many do. I spend too much time on AR as it is.

Bliz - Makes me wonder if there are more that you do not know about. That's what is was wondering about my page, one way to know.

Robert - I can see how time can be a factor when there are so many choices in social networks.

I like it when you press the button.  :)

When I post to my Facebook Page, you will now see it on your page, rather than looking to see my page on your own.

Thanks for doing that Peg.

I 'liked' your page Tom!  My son lives in Sacramento and if he ever needs a contractor, I know who to tell him to call! ;)
