I used boostlikes.com ‘s services several years ago and was not happy with the results. I don’t have any other recommendations for companies because I find it best to leave Facebook promotion to myself or my team.
I like to keep a close eye on how people find my Facebook page. This is the best way to ensure “likes” are from people interested in the content/website/project of a page.
Also, people get too wrapped up in the number of the Facebook “likes” that they have. While having thousands of people “like” a page feels good, it is more about ego and less about best business decisions.
Social proof?
Social proof is when people make decisions based off of the actions of others. When individuals are unsure about what to do in a situation they often turn to other people’s b to determine their own.
In our case, the action is “like’ing” a page. Some individuals use the number of “likes” a page has to determine if they will like it as well… After all, thousands of other Facebook users can’t be wrong.
Facebook changes
Within the past year, Facebook has changed the way people get updates in their feeds. Only a percentage of Facebook fans of a page see individual posts. This includes both the person that just “liked” a page because someone asked them to and the fan who is almost ready to buy or support your project.
Those that “like” a page who are not an ideal customer or fan is now taking away views from others. You want to be in the feeds of someone who will take action; such as buying, sharing, etc.
With these Facebook changes, it is less important about the number of likes a page gets. Having 50 high quality “likes” is more beneficial that 5,000 none quality “likes”.
Also, most Facebook users care more about a page’s content than the page’s number of likes.
Conclusion
Spend fewer resources on increasing your Facebook likes.
I am focusing on making sure my pages have amazing content that people want to share across all social media. I recommend you do the same.
I agree there’s more to social media promotion than just obtaining “likes”, but Boostlikes increased reach, mentions, and page activity for my personal Facebook page (at a fraction of the cost of hiring a social media manager).
If you just focus on creating amazing content that people want to share, how would you suggest increasing reach for that content without social media promotion? Boostlikes was actually a great way for me to spend fewer resources on increasing page activity.
My biggest suggestion would be to make shareable content. People will then promote your content for you.
I have also heard people have great success with contests, promoting a page to your mailing list, and having original content on your page that is promoted through your site.
I would love to hear more specifics about your experience with Boostlikes. What is your Facebook page URL? How many likes did you have before and after? And if you don’t mind, how much engagement did you have using them.
This company is a scam.. Do not use. All the likes i had were from italy or arabia i cancel the service and they contine charging my account 3 months after cancel. Email them and til this day have not refunded the money they stold.
That is really good to know. I had used them for a little while several years ago and the “likes” they sent me then didn’t seem legit. Sounds like they haven’t improved their service.
Very good write-up. I completely agree.
Do not do business with Boostlikes.com the company is a FRAUD!!!!!!!!
you will buy thousands of likes from fake facebook accounts from Egypt, most of which are written in arabic, 1000 times Muhamed, Mahmud and Ahmed.
Don’t use Boost Likes. Luckily, I only paid a small amount, trying to get some visibility to my channel. The first video they did, had 4k more views than what I paid for. But they never did anything with the second video. Their customer service is horrible. I have requested a refund four times. The “CEO” sent me an email that he would take care of it – a month later, I have seen nothing. So, it’s not a great way to boost visibility if you’re looking for sustainability and they are a horrible company to do business with. Save your money and do it yourself thru google Adwords.
#######DO NOT USE###### BOOST LIKES YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY############
Do not use Boost Likes, they will take your money and do absolutely nothing.
Poor service, poor communication. I got caught out with them Luckily I only spent $26.00 however If you are looking to improve your boost rankings for Facebook. There are other more legitimate routes to use. Even using Facebook themselves to help reach more customer and get more likes. sometimes you just have to learn the hard way, and I have…
This is strong words but I believe and it is my opinion that this is a fraudulent operation, simply designed to get your money for no service, use legitimate outlets like Bing, Google, Twitter or Facebook.
******Do not use****** boost likes…. Period
Please do not use Boostuplikes. Nobody will ever reply to your request both on live chat and by email. It is a poor service, you will get nothing. The advartising they made is fake you will partecipate only to one round of likes in place of several they show on the advartising. And on the only one you will get max 60 likes
