What Makes You ‘Like’ a Facebook Page?
There are most likely many reasons why people click the “like” button on a Facebook page (some I’ll never understand). It could be the topic, the page could be interesting, there could be a competition running, or it may offer a free service. Either way the more “likes” you get on a Facebook page the more popular the page will become. Listed below are the main reasons people ‘like’ a Facebook page.
Free stuff
No matter who you are or what your circumstances may be, no one I know will refuse a freebie! Kids, University students and adults the world over will step all over you to get something for nothing. Whether that something is information, a witty joke or a personalized item with a brand name on it, if you give away something free of charge then you can be guaranteed to get people’s attention.
Competitions
Whilst this overlaps slightly with the free stuff category, the competitive streak in most people will get the better of them here. A great example of a powerful Facebook marketing campaign was when ‘Skittles’ launched the ‘Win the Rainbow’ competition on Facebook. They now have an astounding 20,863,887 ‘likes’ on their page! They asked what people would do for a Skittles vending machine. Easy as that. They are currently running another campaign ‘the greatest fan in the world’ where a new winner is chosen weekly.
Games
Kids and big kids alike seem to be partial to a bit of gaming. McDonalds have a few mental games on their Facebook page. From market research, the guys at McDonalds say that this has helped to grow their number of ‘likes’ significantly.
Environmental or social causes
If you are truly passionate about a cause; whether that be the environment, poverty, animal care or something else, there are people worldwide that will empathize with you and help to share your campaign. Sharing is caring as they say and certainly equates to a lot of likes on Facebook!
Make a stance
There is nothing more frustrating than someone who constantly sits on the fence. Stand your ground on an issue and publicly talk about it on Facebook. Encourage others to do the same and get involved in discussions. This will garner you genuine ‘likes’ from those who truly want to hear what you have to say.
Show your personality
People like to get to know the real you. Politicians and celebrities generally see an increase in Facebook likes when they upload photos of themselves celebrating the birth of a new child, appearing without makeup or generally being normal. Put up too much information though, and you may find that you have a stalker!
Humor
Pages that are light-hearted and funny generally garner more likes. So the best advice is to enjoy what you do and interact in a light hearted and funny way. Remember, the best comedy is only funny if you have a sense of humor. Don’t try too hard though, it may backfire!
Challenges
Set yourself a challenge and document your progress on Facebook. The challenge could involve losing weight, running a marathon; it could be writing 100 articles or reading 100 books. Whatever it is, by publicizing it on a Facebook page you should find yourself with a steady army of followers in no time.
Be yourself
No one likes a know-it-all or an imposter. Be yourself and let people like you for who you are.
Now go get yourself some LIKES folks!

Making people like your page can be very difficult at times but, once you know what impresses people nobody can stop you from getting the highest number of likes. A page might not always have something different, it can be something very common but the way you create it should be attractive. Most importantly, it should relate with people’s lives. If they don’t have any idea of what is your page about they will never like it.

There was also a variety of facebook like pages that was really popular a couple years back which followed the “If this page gets x likes, I will do something amusing” pattern. I think they declined in popularity somewhat because a lot of the page administrators had no intention of following through.
I think the number one thing that is important in getting facebook likes is making the consumers feel included. Between corporations inviting consumers to play mental games to those facebook pages that invite users to “like” if they recognize a bit of popular culture, it’s all about making the user feel a part of something.

I would like a facebook page if I am interested with the page itself, that is if I like the info being shared in that page. Like in the past, one facebook friend shared a photo about home designing and I liked it very much. I went into that specific page and liked it. And then I was able to browse more home designs. I really enjoyed checking the page out.

In order to start liking your Facebook page, people would need to experience the various services that you offer. They should believe that they are doing the right thing by liking your page. Liking the page of a particular business does not in any way force the other person to have an obligation to that business. Give them a great reason why they should join, tell them news, or find a creative way to mention and link to your page. Just like any form of online marketing, it takes a lot of hard work. Making a successful fan page, website, blog, or anything online takes commitment and sustained effort.

April 10, 2012 at 7:57 am
Free stuff works for sure. That’s how we got the vast majority of out likes. Another thing I find to be determining factor on whether or not I’m going to like a page, is if the company has an actual website. I run into companies trying to use a FB page has their only “site”. Personally, I’m just not going to give you a like if you don’t also have a legit site.

Nice, Mitz. Seems like number of FB likes determines the popularity of different people, subjects, apps and a lot more things. I just hope the non-sense pages lessen eventually. Maybe it’s just me but I’ve come across different pages that do not have that much bearing; nothing really significant for many. I mean, if you are going to post something personal, post it on your timeline, why create a page for it and only get your friends like it?

If the page has no activity there is no reason for me being part of it. The second reason is how it portrays information.

Sometimes instead of Subscribing, I simply I Like their Facebook page so that I can see any updates in my Facebook feed. That would be the only reason that I would Like someones Facebook page.

What makes me like a facebook page is the content the page posts. For example i like WTF facts which posts interesting facts and some that make you think what the hell!
Pages I don’t like are ones that post URLs continuously and never ending spam threads. Sharing photos are okay but links every 5 minutes to spam my newsfeed, i don’t think so!

Hey Mitz I LOVE free stuff and FB has plenty of it. I cannot spend much time there anymore as it is too addicting. Usually it is a distraction for getting ANYTHING done.

Humor is key I think in everyday life. Even when everything is going wrong, finding something to laugh about is very healthy.
I hate FAKE people, I can spot them a mile away. How can I make that type of statement? I used to be one, plus I know everything..lol. I do love HATERS though, they drive me to work even harder!
Facebook is one aspect of my business and has become a great word a mouth for my landscape business. Last year I held a Facebook drawing for services and grew my following, adding 73 more fans. It is hard on any social medium to get quality followers, but if you are YOU, they will come…Thanks Mitz!

One of the main factors that make me like a Facebook fan page is the activity on the page. If the page has no activity there is no reason for me being part of it.

Jan is right I use it to reply to comments, photos and video. What makes me wanna like something depends on who suggested it. My younger cousins age (5-11) may bet a lower priority than an old friend or colleague because my older friends know what I will respond to.
When I’m searching for communities with similar interests, things like when the group was created vs how many members they have definitely influence if I will like them.

I know I’m in the vast minority here, but I *really* have no love for Facebook. I haev a page,a nd I rarely use it – a personal page. It seems mostly spammy to me. But… that’s all moot as the whole world in there. (The drowning man cannot say he lacks interest in water!) So, I do want my site to be FB “liked” of course. I went on a bit of a campaign this past weekend and generated about 50 likes best I can tell. Eventual SEO impact? We shall see. But somehow I think the +1s might just be given more weight by Google, right??

The only way I “like” a post if they are FUNNY! Most of the time people just write dumb stuff. Hey! I’m at the mall
Boring! Next…. But If you have a funny post or something that is interesting you will have my “like”

I have actually blocked people’s updates on Facebook because I got tired of their constant check-ins and Likes (but then again, I have less patience for interruption than many people I know!).
However, as a marketing tool, the more Likes that I receive on a particular webpage the better. To that end, using _any_ tactic that will get people to Like me is a good one, but producing quality relevant material has got to be the most important. i.e. for the challenges idea (which I love) people have expressed interest in the sailboat I am building, but I wouldn’t dare post updates on my WordPress blog as it is not relevant to the topic.

Yeah I don’t tend to “Like” stuff, I mean I’ve just visited a health website so why would I want all my friends to know I have X?

Some nice points, People generally join social media to have fun and enjoyment. That’s why people tends to like humor and games pages.

It’s a great concept, but you have to be careful because whatever you like shows up on your FB page so your FB friends could be inundated with stuff that they are not interested in, although you can hide stuff that you don’t want to see, which is why I hesitate for some incentive type things like competitions.
When I am on FB, I use like mainly to say hey I like your comment/picture/point etc but I don’t really have a comment to make. I use it just to say “I hear ya”, I don’t have anything really to say but I am not ignoring you. Not sure if this is a correct expression of liking?

I agree also to be very careful when posting or liking. If you enable your Twitter feed to connect with FB, it will seem like double posting.
