How to get as many FB likes as you want... without marketing strategy

It's so true. Sometimes, I'll see FB friends post a status like this:

"Hey everyone, go check out my Facebook page and like it".

That doesn't really give motivation. You're basically asking everyone to do you a favor and endorse something that they're probably not interested in, and may not even agree with.

The post is more funny than actually helpful.
At the end, is the obvious reason for this entire post: Oatmeal wants more likes.
Let us know how many you get from this thread. That would be useful information.

Thanks

I'm going to reveal the BEST POSSIBLE way in getting the MOST facebook likes, tweets and all the social following you want...

You won't EVER spend another second on Social Media WSO's - AGAIN.

There's no WSO that actually COMPARES to this.

This source has helped me tremendously in my career. I actually started to make money as soon as I followed just 1 EASY SIMPLE rule...

It's literally a slap of reality... many of you who are struggling will appreciate this.

It's short, sweet and you can start producing results by the end of the DAY.

How to get more likes on Facebook - The Oatmeal

David

You have given me the best method ever for getting likes on Facebook and for that I thank you.

You have also given me intimate knowledge of a site where I can go to jump from link to link laughing and enjoying the most hilarious content I have ever found on the net, instead of actually working on my business. And for that I fart in your general direction.

[ 1 ] Thanks

Hey man thanks for posting that!

Excellent advice. My question is if you give out content that is quality and likeable, will you still ask for likes?

Is it more professional to just post the content and leave it up to them?

Thanks

Before social media marketers attack me with their SS proof...just know this is mainly for those who spend too much time trying to get a like or a pin and +1 - rather than creating valuable content.

Everything has it's place. But if you're starting off, you don't need any of this stuff.

Just focus on creating content.

Oh and one more thing. This tells me how to get likes on Facebook. 10000000000 likes and no sales is pretty much good for nothing. Would you share what it is you are doing to actually make money on Facebook?

Thanks

I created likable content.

More specifically, I did VIDEO critiques for some sales letters. Some said 'Thanks, this really helps my business...' while others said 'Let me HIRE YOU!'

Again... you don't need social media. The point is to create content.

Whether that's WSOs (that aren't hashed)... Helpful Blogposts... Youtube Videos showing how to do something....

ANYTHING that helps or reliefs a problem.

It is really good. But my tactics is better. I know there are lots of good and reliable sites who would provide you as much as likes as you want. All you need to do is to sign up with one of them. You can do it by yourself or you can do it by outsourcing. It's really easy task but result is awesome.

Goodness I love the Oatmeal's sense of humor. I wonder if he would share that "boobie" Like button. So here's my 2 cents on this one. At the end of OM's brilliant graphical sarcasm he gave me an option to buy his book or like him or both. I voted with my $10 and not my finger.

Correct.

Problem is... people expect marketing strategy to be a 3 step formula to gaining facebook likes...

2 steps involve spamming, while the third is to breathe (and maybe the fourth is to tell them to like your stuff)...

Nothing about doing what you LOVE or what people want is ever really explained anymore. Do this, then add this like button...

I also saw a WSO that sold like crazy that had ALL sorts of social media buttons on the video screen, as if that's going to produce any real results.

Let people do what they wish. I don't care... but if you want to make money then do what people like.

People click on the Like button spontaneously when they like something you have posted.

You don’t need to tell them what to do.

The Like button is quite explicit.
