Which Facebook Posts Get the Most Play?

What’s the best way to get fans to “Like” your Facebook page other than blatantly asking them to or bribing them with a prize?  In a study of 10,000 Facebook fans done by Roost.com, they found that photos generate 50% more impressions than any other type of content.  Next, are quotes which provide 22% more interactions that any other content.  Questions results in two times the number of comments than any other post type.  On Twitter, quotes and retweets rule.  You can read the details of the survey findings here. 

Roost also offers a free social networking tool to help you plan and execute your activities across Facebook and Twitter, which could save you considerable time and energy. You can also run a free Roost Local Scorecard evaluation of your Facebook fanbase.

  Thank you that was helpful. Now I think of it, the posts with photos do get a response. I really don’t know that collecting fans or friends makes much different to sales or hits on the website, which is where all the buying info lives. One can become obsessed with checking fb.. does it really matter? I know a writer boasting 50,000 fb fans but hasn’t sold more than a handful of books! They are mostly ‘you like mine and I’ll like yours.’ neither writer has any interest in the others books!

  I would love to know how to market a teen adventure story on linkedin.. I don’t see how to do that at all without bugging people.

  Best Wishes,

  Carolie

  You’re so right, Carolie. I think content is the key to gaining fans and converting them into customers. “Likes” are nice, but don’t equal dollars. You might post your question about how to market your teen novel in one of the writer groups on LinkedIn and see what you get. There one very active group titled “What do you do to promote your book,” of something similar you might try.

  Good luck!
