Very timely needed article for us as we are supposed to launch our first ever contest very soon and as you have strongly suggested, we are going to follow that and have to explore Binkd. Another mistake we are currently doing and that is we are automating our Facebook posts to Twitter and just now we have seen that this is something we should not do. Thanks for the valuable suggestions Aaron.

#3 is something that makes me cringe. I avoid automated pages like a plague. According to me, it is disrespectful of owners towards audience to do this!

I do post automated posts but I also add in some useful advice in between myself to balance everything.

I think automating by connecting twitter account is a bad mistake. It shows that the account owners don’t care much about helping others or giving valuable information. Thus there’s more likely the link given is not worth to check

Nice post Aaron and well put together Erik,

I have only recently just started using Facebook and it is huge, and you are right on all the above points. The most important thing is interaction, you want people to share, like and comment and fake purchased likes are not going to do that.

Trouble is, people will still but them. People’s egos are more important to them these days, quite a sad state of affairs. I have purchased likes before as a test and they do nothing, however I can see people maybe buying a few hundred to “start” a page off – then switch to paid Facebook ads…

Aaron

you make a great point in number 4, but it is still surprising
how many people are still logging into Fiverr and throwing their
money away.

And doing a bit of damage to their edgerank.

Nice post with some good valid points.

Cheers Rick.

My favorite part is using twitter to facebook as a mistake. Worse is when people from business television shows use interns to post to LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and a few others and never respond to their followers.

I worry about these mistakes all the time. And the truth is I don’t really understand the underlying mechanics to Facebook or Twitter. I keep reminding myself to study the files, but I’m so caught up in blogging, I haven’t gotten to them yet. Maybe I should. Thanks for sharing the post! Very informative/
