you could be the nth person to like the Honking Goose on facebook

I’ve read the blogging advice out there that says you should establish social media pages that connect to and promote your blog site. So I made a Facebook page for the Honking Goose pretty soon after starting this blog. On individual posts and pages it shows the ‘Like on Facebook’ widget. It sat there for a few days, lost and lonely, with zero likes. I thought to myself, “Instead of feeling bad that I don’t have any likes on the page yet, I’ll just make a joke out of it.” So I typed in a prompt, “You could be the 1st person to like the Honking Goose on Facebook.” I figured that might be incentive for someone to click the button, too, and it was. Soon I noticed the page had two likes. So then I thought, “I’ll just change it to ‘You could be the 3rd person to like the Honking Goose on Facebook'”.

This has turned into a running joke on my blog. Every time I see there has been another ‘like’ on the page, I just update the prompt to one more than that. Now instead of 😦 about how few likes there are, I lol every time I see it. And that makes me feel 😀 . I hope others are noticing it and getting a kick out of it, too.

And remember, YOU could be the nth person.
