What am I doing wrong here?

[DidJit]

Well I don't know what I am doing wrong. I've liked Cemetery Circuit's page but can't tag them in your post Spyda.

Done the facebum thing, but I don't know how to " just tag both The Electric Spider LTD and the Cemetery Circuit in your post"

Try putting the "@" character directly in front of "The Electric Spider LTD" and "Cemetery Circuit" i.e. @Cemetery Circuit.

I'm trying to promote our sport here as well as get people noticing my business but seem to be barking up the wrong tree. Now a huge number of people on my FB are into bikes particularly Road Racing are they not interested in sharing THEIR sport amongst their friends either as are a couple of people whom I either sponsor now or have done in the past.
Not having a bitch here just can't see the wood for the trees, what am I doing wrong


(no I haven't paid the money to promote it)

Spyda, I have a faecesbook page, but I never look at it unless I've had an emailed link by someone I'm friends with. Its really pointless for me, but I guess I'm old skool.
The target demographic on arsebook are young to middle age woman. Is that who you want to tag to motorcycle racing??? Unless there's cooking recipes, they aren't gunna be interested....
The majority of my real 'friends' are not on social media, and ALL of them either race or watch racing.
Wrong place to market racing maybe???


You hear people harping on about the benefits of social media spin doctoring. But how many people have majorly benefited from spending truckloads on social media campaigns? You hear places saying they've had 41,000 clicks, visits etc, but how many leads, how many conversions??
Social media spin is the same as radio spin was decades ago. It's just yet another form of media marketing. Localist, faceachebook, foursquare, pinterest....etc. etc... who gives a fuck?! Why should anyone else be that interested in where to buy a coffee, or get a new dress from. Just cause a mate brought a nice bagel from xyz doesn't mean I like bagels and give a shit or will even go there......
Now there's simply too many channels/streams etc to listen/watch and enjoy. People have started to disconnect.....


Sorry Spyda, your question was......

Last year I put a up a free race entry to the Cemetery Circuit on Facebook and got a reasonable response.
A couple of weeks ago I put up two sets of two spectator tickets, all people had to do was post a piccie of a Cemetery Circuit T-shirt, tag my FB page and the Cemetery Circuit page to go into a draw and win them
Okay; ten days later not a single piccie so changed tact and now have offered a couple of tickets to anyone who posts on my companies page, The Electric Spider LTD, tag a couple of pages and most likes wins.

Three days later I've had two entries and a like each.

Where you went wrong is assuming that everyone is on FB! I chose not to be and so any competition that requires me to 'Like' a page is impossible to enter

I never once assumed everyone is on FB like I never assumed averyone is on KB but there are some, i also never assumed it would light my business on fire the reality is if i get one person whom know's me or I know becomes aware of what I actually do and I gain a bit of work from then then it's paid for itself, it's not a million dollar ad campaign after all.

Cheers for that but it eventually recognised the tag...just took a while for some reason.

yeah there's more than one Cemetery Circuit on Facebook, maybe if the Cemetery Circuit page had chosen to follow my offer of free tickets and post it on their own page it would've picked up the right one somewhere along the line...

What you need is some Mexicans behind your campaign bro

It may also help if you changed tack, not tact. They're quite different things, as dictionary.com will reveal for you.

No one would believe spyda actually meant tact, or want to change "coarse" either
