I don’t know a proper title lol. Let’s say that I made an interesting post or ask a question (thought provoking, trying to see if anyone would participate and give answers), but everyone saw my post (more than 40 people have seen it) but few likes and no comments. 

I felt like pulling my hair out. I am looking at other fanpages and I see their readers do lot of shares, posts and likes. I am looking at my page with one or two likes and lot of “people saw this post”. I am not seeing what I am doing wrong. It seems like I am right track but why are the readers not commenting or be engaged when I posed a question or posts with a question such as “What do you think?” or “I would love to hear your thoughts” and something not so generic. 

Do you think If I show my face instead of just a brand, will people respond better because they will think I am somebody real and not just some brand? 

I am thinking of making a post about the natural benefit of chai and attach it with a instructional video of how to make chai! Will people probably like that I am making myself public with my face on my facebook page? 

Thanks in advance for suggestion and tips. 

anyone? 

@andrea-vahl

thank you for the response! I am thinking I will make it bit more personal with my face attach to it. I have studied few other blogs especially 100daysofrealfoods, foodbabe and bill demoss. Each of them have a personal picture and some videos and blogs. They are able to have more readers. 

to be at their level, i will have to make myself more personal. it does make sense that to have more engagement there need to be a critical mass of fans which i would love to achieve someday. 

I guess I can keep doing whatever I’m doing and hopefully my blog will gain attention after sometime! it sure does take lot of work but it’s hard when no other pages are willing to help promote your page on their behalf.

@DavidCJones – The absolute best response I’ve had to any post on my page was the posting of a Far Side cartoon showing the Founding Fathers wondering if the opening line should be “Us the People or We the People…” . Lots of Likes, quite a few shares, but no comments. When I do post something like that, or motivational quotes or whatever, I try to keep it related in some way to editing, writing, language or finding success in some way.

After attending the International Freelancers Day conference last week, I started using the “call to action” idea – actually asking them to Like or Comment, but no one has taken me up on that yet. I’m not sure what to do at this point either.

Thanks for posting!

Thank you! @louissayers

I am in process of re-designing my blog website. I agree about the default image for every blog post. I just don’t want to deal with copyright issues and there isn’t much pictures worthy in the free stock pics on flickr and google

but i’m trying to change things around and use my own pictures.
