Its amazing how simple pictures get so many views on Facebook! I noticed that viral images have this in common;
1. Fun, especially with animals.
2. Call For Action caption
3. You need atleast 1000 friends to kick start the viral action

Here is an example of what am talking about;

Timeline Photos | Facebook
#facebook #fans or likes #pictures #viral

    How can this be monetized?
    It's not all about the viral but the money making aspect.
    Can someone shed more light please?

    You would have to wonder about the people who type in 'jump' and actually expect something to happen. You sure couldn't sell them any intellectual products... maybe barbie dolls or something.

    If you put an aff link in the caption of the picture you're asking to be shared, it IS possible to get money out of it. But, your picture has to be gooood!

    Hi Sue!

    Yeah pictures can work wonders on F/B and I have seen some fantastic responses using them on my own business Fan Page.

    Asking people to interact allows you to build your "Edge Rank" score with F/B!

    This then places your next posts etc at the top of those news feeds from people who interacted with your last post(s).

    You only need a handful of people to share your posts(s) for you to drive a nice consistent flow of traffic back to your blog, squeeze pages etc.

    Also I would suggets you allow people to download FREE difts from your main page by adding clickable app tabs below your main page image that links to your squeeze page.

    I am now getting a nice flow of subscribers coming into my sales funnel from F/B by only spending 30-45 minutes a day doing some strategic posting etc.

    Great post and keep em coming my friend!!!

      Absolutely! Just make sure the image is attractive and make sure to tell "like this" "click if you agree" etc. Adding a call to action is always good!
