An Ugly Truth. Building My Facebook Page Is Sadly Teaching Me That Click-Bait And Silly Memes Work.

Can’t anyone be serious anymore?

I have had a Facebook business page for over a year. I decided that I wanted to build it up so it could better serve as a platform for reaching out, connecting, and engaging with others. Here is what the responses to my posts are teaching me.

Unfortunately, it is not all good news.

Let’s set the stage. In early November 2021 my Facebook page, The Coping Expert (link), had a robust following of 13 followers. Yes, 13. Today, mid-May 2022, it has over 7,600 followers.

Like everyone else, I am always interested in building my site. So, I am interested in what people respond to.

Let’s take a look at a couple of posts to see what people like.

On Wednesday, May 18, 2022, I posted 3 posts at about 7pm in the evening. Here they are.

I checked back an hour later. Which post do you think was the most successful?
