This wikiHow teaches you how to get likes or "likes" on your personal Facebook content, including comments, statuses, and photos. You must have created a Facebook account before you can upload posts. If you're not a prospective/new Facebook user, try to focus on getting more likes on Facebook.
Step
Step 1. Understand the aspects that make Facebook status more preferable
While there's no formula for creating a Facebook status that always gets likes, there are a few things you can always include/consider to increase the number of likes you get:
- Humor - Jokes, funny comments, satire, and the like are all liked on Facebook.
- Images - In addition to the usual posts, Facebook users love to see photos. This content can be anything from a cute photo (see instructions above) to a new profile photo.
- Relatedness - While jokes and veiled references that only certain people understand may be well received among close friends, try to make sure your posts are easy to understand so that more people feel "embraced" by you. With this step, you can get more likes.
- Relevance - If you want to post about current events or other relevant forms of events, you will usually get more attention than when you talk about past or past events.
Step 2. Know what to avoid
As with posts that are acceptable on Facebook, there are some topics you should avoid:
- Political posts - While political posts can be a great “eye catcher” for people with the same mindset/point of view, they also tend to alienate others and trigger scathing or hurtful comments. Avoid discussing politics on your Facebook profile, unless you're sure that other friends share the same opinion.
- Attention-seeking - Typical “attention-seeking” posts (e.g. status messages like “Ugh, I'm lonely” or “If someone noticed me”) are usually not well received by most Facebook users.
- Like requests - Any form of like-requesting, whether it's a chain letter or a motivational letter (e.g. “We need 1,000 likes from SNSD's fans!”)-is usually the only way to reduce likes (or even get the post unlikable at all).).
- Confusing or exclusive posts - As explained earlier, posting jokes or covert references that some people understand may not get you any likes. The same goes for posts that are unclear or originating (eg "Hmmm… I wonder what you think.").
- A large number of photos - Uploading a photo or two with a few lines of text is a great way to grab the attention of your Facebook friends. However, you won't really get their attention if you upload several photos at once (especially in large numbers).
- Links to content - While you can upload links to YouTube videos or websites, uploading a link without an explanation or reaction to the content itself in the same post won't grab anyone's attention.
Step 3. Try to upload posts to Facebook frequently
You don't need to make Facebook your personal diary. In fact, uploading a post once a day is enough to fill the timeline with content. When uploading posts, try to find unique and interesting content so your friends can laugh (or cry, depending on the topic or theme).
People may “avoid” your content because they feel too bored if you upload content more than two or three times a day. Therefore, do not upload posts to Facebook too often
Step 4. Try uploading the post when other friends are active/using Facebook
You can see who's using Facebook on your desktop by looking at the green dot next to the username in the right sidebar of the page. The main cause of missed opportunities to get likes is the wrong timing. Therefore, make sure you always upload posts when you know that other users will read your uploaded content, and not in the middle of the night.
Step 5. Add friends
If you only have a few friends on Facebook, they may not see your content without actively visiting your profile. The more friends you have, the more users will be able to see and like your posts.
Make sure you add people you do know in real life or some friends of people you already know
Step 6. Tag others in your post
When you tag someone in a post, that person will be notified about the post, increasing their chances of liking your post. In addition, the post can also be displayed on his timeline if he allows it. This means that more people will see the post.
Try to hold yourself back when tagging other people. Do not let you tag people too often so as not to seem annoying or annoying other friends
Step 7. Upload photos and videos
While text-only posts have their own “charm” on Facebook, many people prefer visual media such as photos and videos. If you have interesting content to share (e.g. photos of animals or hiking trails, or similar videos), try uploading that content to Facebook.
- Always include a caption on the uploaded photo or video.
- You may be tempted to upload multiple photos at once, but try to upload one photo first. With this step, people can view and like the uploaded photos, without having to browse through the entire photo album.
Step 8. Like other friends' posts
This step can be a kind of "investment" for you. When you like someone else's post, they'll feel compelled to see (and possibly like) your content in return. By liking other people's content, you are also showing that you want to see more of their content. This means both of you will see each other's content more often.
Step 9. Add witty comments to your friends' content
As with status messages, you can receive likes on comments. If you can make funny or wise comments on a friend's status, you can be sure you'll get a likes or two from him or his friends.
The same is true when you respond to a friend's comment on your own post. If you respond to a friend, he can like the comment to show that he's read and appreciates your feedback
Step 10. Interact with friends
While Facebook's algorithm regarding who views your content remains unclear, there seems to be a correlation between the people you regularly interact with and the people who view your posts frequently in the news feed. You can increase the likelihood that other friends will see your content by liking and responding to comments on your content (or theirs).
By liking and commenting on other people's posts, you also encourage other friends to see your posts
Step 11. Show a kind and friendly attitude
Facebook can be a very dangerous “environment”. Therefore, show kindness and empathy as the right way to stand out. This is something that some people want to "take a break" from other standard content.
Tips
- If you read a friend's comment on your own post and don't have a response to it, it's best if you like the comment as a general courtesy.
- Using content sets (e.g. uploading content under the same general category) can ensure that people who frequently like your posts will always like your posts in the future.
