Posts like these generate shares, because that’s what you’re asking for. It uses a photo that grabs attention and notes a clear call to action. This type of post can go viral.
The giant spike is what happened when we asked for shares with our water bottle photo. The best part – I only actually had to send out one water bottle. No one else claimed theirs.
This post will get likes because you’re asking for them. There’s not a picture, but a clear call to action is there.
Lawrence Habitat asked for likes for our Women Build page with a post and a photo because we were giving away what was in the picture.
Habitat for Humanity is a great page to follow for inspiration. Here’s a fill in the blank. These kinds of posts are aiming to get comments.
Disney is letting its fans know that Finding Dory is coming out in 2015. This is an update on their products and it earned likes, shares AND comments.
Coke wanted to tease its fans with updates from its Super Bowl commercial ad shoot. These are posts related to the brand. They’re trying to pique interest for its Super Bowl commericals.
Don’t forget about holidays! What page is this? (audience answer) This is a Sharpie “Happy Easter” post. Easter doesn’t have anything to do with Sharpies, but the picture is clever and you clearly know what it’s for. These are posts than can be scheduled so you can set them and forget about them.
It’s technically for non-profits, but the author, Heather Mansfield, is up to date on what the latest trends are.
