Writing on Facebook about Facebook: Why Do It and Why Groups Will Help
I have seen for some time now that Facebook content receives high rankings in Google searches.
If you use SEO properly, you can ensure that your content receives a better ranking and maybe even land on the first page of search results if it’s specialized content.
Lately, I have been creating Facebook-related content that makes Facebook look good. My goal was to make sure that reviews of Facebook were up to date and more positive just in case more people were driven to searching for Facebook on Google due to stock market fluctuations.
I recently wrote a status update on my timeline explaining what Facebook is and how it can be bought.
Within hours, my status update was trending on Facebook and probably Google and Twitter too!
My normal status updates usually only get a vote from my mother, my grandmother, my wife, and maybe a couple of friends, if I’m lucky.
This proves that almost all of my engagement came from somewhere other than my own circle of friends and family, and possibly from people who were learning about or using Facebook for the very first time.
I wrote another status update about Facebook last year that received some votes, although not as much as the most recent one, so we won’t count it. But here it is anyway:
It’s probably not cool to write about Facebook while using Facebook, but it’s totally necessary in order to milk the rewards promote Facebook to the outside world.
In order to effectively market a platform, you must write about the platform on that platform that potential users don’t know about. That way, when they search on Google for this platform (in this case, Facebook) that they don’t even know about, they’ll find out that the platform pays people large sums of money promotes the status updates of those who write fluff pieces about the platform.
Oh...and groups!
I really hate having to be the guy to write about Facebook while on Facebook, but I’ll take one for the team and continue doing it. And I also love the easy money attention that I get from people who also love to write about Facebook on Facebook.
If I can write enough about Facebook while using Facebook, then I will surely be able to convince potential users that Facebook is an awesome place to create and find great content and that it is an enjoyable community! How else could a platform be fun and exciting other than simply writing about how awesome the platform is and citing abysmal user statistics? Doesn't everyone love the maths and the jerking in circles?
Content Status: CIRCLE-SLAYED!
P.S. - This isn't about Facebook.
So passive aggressive lol.
The only thing worse than writing about facebook, is people writing about people writing about facebook. I suppose I could make fake rumors about people who will join facebook and milk the rewards of facebook.
Go for it. But if it's not funny or entertaining, I'll downvote it.
Good luck!
I know a fella who could get away with it ;)
Steemit needs something like communities to allow groups to flourish on this site. Allow for the best content in the niche communities to stay visible for longer.
These are coming just not in the form of how facebook has groups.
Where can I find information on what will be implemented?
There isn't that much info available on communities yet, at least here on steemit. All we know is that people can set up communities and have a share of the value flowing through it.
Yuck.
The details are still not available. I think the share is shared between creator of community and the moderators and it could be set to 0% probably but having a small percentage would incentivize the owners to market their communities because let's be real, we need serious marketing effort or how else will we get people to know about us?
Also to add: I'd rather give moderators and owner direct share so they won't need to find other ways to profit of their status. Meaning they gain more value or hopefully enough by just aiming to be best community possible. You get what I mean?
E:Let me hear out your opinion. I haven't given this much thought myself yet and always open for different viewpoints.
Okay, you made some really awesome points that I had not quite given enough thought. I think being able to set the percent is nice. But I like how you mention the incentives needed to keep moderation in check.
I responded 'Yuck' because I have some worries - stemming from reddit moderation - that communities could be commandeered by missaligned parties. An example: the Ethereum community being moderated by a Bitcoin maximalist and stakeholders in competing blockchains. That worries me but I am sure that given the right community incentives and voting structures, a worthy model could be found. I expect a few hardforks lol.
Hello @ats-david
I believe that one of the best places to advertise Steemit is on Facebook, because that is where the eyes and ears of majority of people is. @stephenkendal in his last post explained that we now have limited time to promote Steemit all over the world, Imagine what happens if Facebook starts paying people to post and curate content. Steemit will never recover.
Thanks for sharing. Followed you
interesting point :)
Yea the context is clear :)
I get it even more now :)
Lol..Nice parody..I saw someone writing a post just like this about steemit.😂😂
