Lately, I've noticed people thanking, begging and just being generally annoying about "Likes" specifically on Facebook.
Case Study #1:
A singer reaches 25K likes on Facebook. To reward the followers, a 7 Question Quiz is posted and two (only 2?? Out of 25,000) lucky winners will get a prize. Maybe a private message or answering a question. Something that could maybe go out to 25 (!) fans?
This actually is less of a "reward" to the fans than a difficult and discouraging assignment. Side note: the answers are NOT posted on the internet. Included are questions about previous band members and current band history. The singer does not maintain his current band site, nor does he link to performers he has played with in the past.
The questions may be appropriate to a time/topic involving obscure trivia about the current band. Maybe immediately prior to an upcoming show. No mention is made of posting the answers. Oh, and it should be done by email, which is fine, but you have to get people to do it.
Case Study #2:
Asking your fans to help "bring you" to a certain number of likes. They already like you. Post content which is cool enough to be shared. i.e. Work.
Case Study #3:
Thanking the newest people who like you. By name. Instead of posting new content. And not using good punctuation. And taking pictures of your collectibles and the new wallpaper you put on your iPad. (I should hide him except I'm afraid he'll post about losing someone. And it's fun watching what else he comes up with.)
