Whats the benefit when people like the post I published?

Hi there,

I recently opened a fan page on Facebook and tried to get likes for that page.

I try to publish high quality content, and I get likes to the posts I publish.

But I don't understand what the benefit of it. Its not "likes" to my page, its "like" to my posts.

It doesn't mean new followers.

Does it have any value?

Thanks,
Erik

    Hello!

    So when a person "likes" your post, often it will display to their friends that they "liked" it, and therefore their friends could possibly see the post and engage with it as well.

    "Likes" will also help you measure which content your audience prefers and engages with, which can help you plan your future posts.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi erikme,

    It's all to do with your edgerank. This is the formula facebook uses to decide how viral a post is going to be. Social sprout give a better explanation than I can here.

    Basically the more likes, comments and shares you have for any given post means that facebook considers that bit of content to be something people are engaging with. As such they will show it organically to more of your audience (providing you have fans on your page already). Hope this helps... if not just leave a question and I'll try and explain more.

    It will help to increase your traffic from Facebook. IF any one like your post, a notification show to its friends they also read the article or post. If they found your article is good they will decently follow you. So keep posting unique content.

      The reason why you want people to like and comment on your post is to build a relationship with them. When you establish a relationship built on trust and authority your followers will turn to you when they need your service or products

    By the term benefits, did you mean economical benefits? I assume it's a yes.
    Your page and content will spread through the people who liked it. And then your page will have a value to use for a business. It's more like the YouTube policy.
