Re: Liking Club

So now I have a question. When I make a post on my FBPC page it is not showing up on the FBPampered Chef pages. What do I need to do to make it show up there? That is usually where I go first to click likes on everyone. Then I check each consultant FB page to click like on their post. I try to do this everyday. I have noticed that my page is down by about 40%. Any advice?

Some have noticed that even with the lists, they are not seeing all the posts from all the members of their lists. Solutions I've heard have been to create multiple lists, each with no more than 5 pages, or to add the pages to your browser's favorites, and visit each page individually that way.

Re: Liking ClubWe've been doing this for a while now. Have any of you taken stock of what you are posting? Are all of your posts PC related and/or PC commercials? I remember when we were first allowed to do PC on FB in the training, they highly recommended that you don't drown everyone with PC posts.

There is a reason why I post so many tips and hints. I have gotten a lot of good feedback from people about them. They like the fact that while they know I sell PC, I have a lot of good infomation they can use and they don't feel like every post from me is "Please buy something from me or have a party." It's very easy for someone to hide all of your posts and you won't even know they've done it. They do this because they see every post from you or your page as a commercial to buy PC stuff. I want to be seen as a resource of good information and the person to come to when they need PC products. I try to keep my PC specific posts about specials and products to once weekly. Generally at the start of the month I will share the specials and not mention them again. Sharing recipes I do not consider to be PC specific as you do not have to have all of the tools mentioned in a recipe to make it successfully. For PC specific spices, there is always a cook's tip that tells you how to substitute something else in place of the PC item.

CK does an excellent job of posting interesting information daily that has nothing to do with PC other than the fact that the posts are all (usually healthy) food related. I'm not telling anyone that what they are doing is wrong, don't do it because they won't get results, I'm just trying to give everyone some food for thought. It's something I've noticed...

I am with you I have been posting tips on cooking when I started my FB and I have also had much success with it.
I find the CK does post alot of interesting things by posting links to food blogs and also getting into the Foodie FB communtiy of pages. And that is how she gets all of those likes

I agree with you! I have noticed it too. I try to keep my "PC commercials" to a minimum. I post kitchen tips, a few PC recipes, and also non-PC recipes. There are a few consultant pages that I see who are like yours and mine. It is something to think about for those that only post PC commercials/ PC related.

 

[minirottie]

Re: Liking ClubI took that training and try and do mostly tips and/or recipes with an occasional "promo". I have gotten positive feedback from some of my kitchen tips and I want people to learn from what I can post versus make them feel like I'm a walking PC commercial

 

[byrd1956]

Re: Liking ClubI never thought about my posts being commercials; I will have to go look with 'new eyes'. I do try to delete past post that are related to events and specials. I leave all my recipes and if someone has given a type of feedback I leave that too. I have not posted lots of tips, as I don't have a file of tips. I will have to look at all the tips other consultants are posting. I am hoping that since we share alot here that if I have liked the consultant's page they won't mind if I borrow their tips. (maybe I can add them to a word document for a tip file) I have mentioned that I got some information from consultant friends.

 

[byrd1956]

Re: Liking ClubThank you to everyone that likes or comments on my posts. My list of you is only about 9 and I try to like your new comments almost everyday. I wonder if I missed someone from this discussion. I also need to figure out how to get more of my customers/friends/family to interact. They make verbal comments to me, but not on my page. I am afraid if I pester too much I'll be 'unliked'!

 

[lt1jane]

Re: Liking ClubI use a lot of different websites for my tips and tricks. I started by googling "kitchen tips and tricks" and saved the ones I liked. The liking club also helps as I have liked all the pages as myself and my fan page to make copying and pasting easier. There is another thread where we have started to share our favorite websites: http://www.chefsuccess.com/f24/my-favorite-kitchen-tip-websites-71455/

Re: Liking Club

I've been missing a bunch too. So I just went through & saved all of them in firefox with the names "Like 01", "Like 02", ... "Like 10", "Like 11", ... "Like 20" so that I can pull up each bogus name, check for new posts & move to the next page. LOL

Sheila, I cannot click on your link at all. It keeps taking me to some really weird places. :yuck:

Re: Liking ClubIt seems that everyone has their fb websites as the "like" way. Does anyone do it "friends" way? Hope that makes sense. Is the "like" way better?

 

[lt1jane]

Re: Liking ClubI think what yhou're asking is doe we have fan pages rather than groups? I had a group, but decided to go the fan page because it's easier. Anyone may "like" your page, even people you don't know. It gets you more exposure without you having to directly know or allow people to see your page. They can "unlike" your page at any time if they no longer want to receive your updates.

A group (the last time I dealt with them) required you to friend everyone on the list. I personally was uncomfortable with that idea. I don't want all of my customers to know family updates and personal information. While I "like" all my posts on my fan page, I don't mention PC much when I'm on FB as myself. Everyone knows I sell it, but I don't want to shove it down their throats. I also post mostly non-PC hints, tips and recipes on my fan page. When I do post my PC commercials, my fans are more likley to see then and not tune them out because I post mostly things that are intersting and helpful (I hope).

Robyn, keep in mind that links to specific products on your PWS only work for a couple of hours after you post them. After that, anyone who clicks on the link will be directed to a site through the Lead Referral system.

Jane already gave a really good explanation of Page vs. Group. In order to "friend" other FB users, you would have to use a Profile. It's certainly fine to do that, and the HO training course gives a lot of great tips on how to do it that way. Just remember that it is against FB rules to have two different Profiles, so you would have to use your personal one, and you would have to either be very vigilant about your privacy settings, and who sees what, or be aware that everyone sees everything you post.

Re: Liking ClubI have been liking (or trying) to like everyones page each day, but why do some peoples' pages only say share instead of like? It doesn't say "like" anywhere on the page. I have noticed this is normally when they are posting from their phones.

Maybe I am not asking this question the right way...On Angel's Foods page, I am unable to like anything at all. Maybe no one else has this problem, but all I am able to do from this is share, I can't "like" anything. Any ideas? I noticed this on someone else's as well, but I can't remember who.

Could you put a link to one of the pages where you see this happening?ETA: nevermind...I searched for "Angel's Foods". The problem there is that hers is a regular FB profile, it isn't a business page. You have to send a friend request to her first. Then once you are friends, I'm guessing that the like button will appear. Maybe, maybe not, but it's what I'm guessing is going on.

Re: Liking Clubhttp://www.facebook.com/angelsfoodsThis should be the link. After I post this, I will click on it to make sure it is good.

Yes, that page is a Profile, not a Page. You cannot "like" it, you must request to be friends with the person, and they must accept.

Just to point out, this is not allowed by FB's terms. Per FB, all profiles (one's you "friend") must represent a real person, and each person may only have one. Profiles also cannot be used mainly for business purposes.

Re: Liking ClubHello,

I would also like to participate in the Liking Club
I started my FB page last Fall and had so much help from Jane & Rae. I really love Jane's page with all her tips and helps. I agree that for every PC "push" I do I like to add recipes and tips. I haven't always been consistant posting or doing the tips for push thing, but I do know it is a right way of doing business.

I appreciate anyone who will like my page and share their ideas. I will always do the same. One of my favorite things about PC is the enormus support system that come with all of the consultants that support eachother.

Blessings

P.S. Just liked the 29 pages on this thread. I look forward to seeing how this helps. I know just having all your pages at my fingertips will help me so much!!

When I got to your wall I can only share what you have posted, not like. I thought I already liked your page cause it does not give me an option to like now. Just can't like comments.
