Buying Facebook Likes Is Bad
Posted by Troy Newport on 17 April 2014 08:03 am |
I love spam. Not in the sense of actually loving it because really I HATE it. (I’m using the word “hate” here, as Melvin Udall said.) But I love it because it gives me so many topics to blog about and show our clients why the crap people are selling you on the internet is just that: Crap. Take the spam message we received on our Facebook company page (see image below.) People are still selling Facebook Likes, which means people are still buying them. If consumers would wise up and stop buying this guff do you know how much spam would instantly go away?! As long as there’s money to be made these people will still continue to fill your inbox with spam! So why is buying Facebook Likes bad for your company and your Facebook page? The Likers will never buy from you and will never be loyal to your brand You won’t have those Likers for long Your Facebook page will still look like a ghost town Facebook Promotions to fake Likers So just like absolutely everything else in the internet marketing industry, shortcuts will yield you fake short-term gains and absolutely no long-term payoff. If a company is selling you tricks and sleight of hand it’s not because they care about your company, it’s because they are trying to make money off of you. Any solid marketing company will be up front with you that marketing is honest, hard work and as long as you own your company you must be actively and effectively marketing if you want to thrive and grow. It’s not as easy to sell that message but it’s just the way it is. The post Buying Facebook Likes Is Bad appeared first on . | |
