Mari, I love the tip you gave recently about adding your blog posts to Facebook notes. And I understand that Facebook is searchable by Google so gives good content. My concern is that means adding duplicate content to both your blog and on Facebook. Google doesn't like duplicate content like that. What are your thoughts?
An article I wrote and posted in June is today at 901,000 Facebook shares. Is this a record? as the examples you gave in your article of high share numbers were vastly smaller than this.
I appreciate you for the above information that is useful for us...!
Thanks Mari for sharing these very helpful tips. Expecting more pots like this!
Mari, Thank you for an excellent guide. As always, I appreciate that you include reminders of the ethics of proper attribution and that you found the source of the infographic so that you could give proper credit. Just because something is shared with me, doesn't mean I don't have a responsibility to find the source so I can say thank you and link back to them. It's good karma and a way to connect with great resources.
Many thanks for your kind comment, Gretchen Vaughn - good karma, love that! :)
There is so much good stuff in this article. Thanks Mari - it's wonderful! Warmly, Susie Daniels

Warmly,
Susie
Great tips, Mari! We are a B2B company trying to ramp up our social media presence, and these tips were very helpful. Especially the idea to always use an eye-catching image. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you ver interesting, shared on facebook, twitter and linkin
Great tip on monitoring the response from a Facebook comment, and then writing a blog about the most popular topics.
Wow, Mari, not enough time in my day to read all the helpful tips! You are certainly, one of the people, I am seeing lots of good info from and hearing more about you regularly. Thanks for sharing this, I'm on Facebook and now Google+
Awesome!!! hehee
Wow. Thanks for all the great info. Just what I was looking for!
OMG Mari you are brilliant... Simply brilliant article ...thank you
Excellent. Thank you for tips on crafting Facebook posts for maximum shares. Thank you also for the webinar today with Michael Port. The point was reiterated there that being generous with your knowledge builds towards your success. This post is another good example of that.
Thank you kindly, Linda!! So good to see you in the virtual room today. hehee!
One of the best articles I have ever read on facebook content. Thank you.
Wow, thanks for your kind words!!
Hi Mari.
I am getting better at this. The cool thing about your article is that your principles easily can be adapted to other Social Networks.
Which I was better to take pics, but I know that is not one of my strengths. So I utilize some of the great photo services available online.
I have become much better also testing which content works best for me and my audience.
Thanks for sharing these great tips.
Cheers...

Fantastic - thanks heaps, Are. Great job on experimenting to see what works well for your own audience!
Thanks for the great suggestions as always!
I like the way that facebook is evolving, allowing people to comment without liking is a good way to get people communicating without having to commit to Liking something. Images and videos that are funny, shocking, engaging always have the potential to go viral and facebook makes this easy.
Agree! We are a B2B company trying to ramp up our social media presence, and I think we would much rather have people actually commenting on posts rather than just "liking" our page and never coming back.
Well said!
I agree with the tip for longer content. This can really work when done correctly.
brilliant content.. love your stuff
Posting anything from Mari Smith :-)
What I especially like is when the main points are easily seen so I can scan very quickly to get the core ideas. Thx Mari :)
Great point - me too!! :)
The best way to get more shares is always to be witty and funny! The basic rules of viral content applies: post something that will create an emotion in people, an emotion strong enough to make them share!
Yes true... but not always witty and funny. Making people cry or go awwww works well too!! Plus, often people tire of witty/funny/sad/emotional posts and seek helpful business tools and tips as well. It's important to find a balance.
Thanks again for great timely info.!
Thanks for the great insights, Mari. The fact that pictures get the most play has certainly gotten around. It seems like half of what I get is a quote placed within a picture. While I like the idea, I'm already getting tired of seeing it all day long. Both the quotes and the pictures are becoming less special, in my mind anyway. I'm wondering how long this will go on!
Lol I hear you Jennifer -- these quotes within images seem to be a trend over the past few months... and will likely peter out at some point and be replaced with a new "thing!" I think it's important to study what appears to be working well, then just as soon as you feel something is adding to the "noise," come up with your own unique angles for being different and memorable. ;)
Thank you for the informative tips and suggestions
A picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes the words themselves are so important. Great post Mari!
Good post Mari as always!
It might be a powerful idea, this post is old and links are gone. Why not have a link to a screen shot on your own website to preserve such things? On my sites it costs nothing and benefits us all....

Hi, you are looking extra cash? I recommend Clixsense. Join free and start earn money
I stumbled onto this very valuable article about how to increase exposure for your name or FB in the right way. What I cannot seem to figure out is how to make sure that when I share a photo from my FB page (for instance, https://www.facebook.com/St... is there a way I can control whether people remove my page name when they share my photo on their timeline? I notice that when you share posts, FB gives you the option of removing the name of the original source making it seem as if that photo that you (or I) originally posted was in fact originally posted by whomever is sharing.
Does that make sense?
So in other words, if I posted a photo on the above mentioned FB page and others subsequently share it, is there a way the name of my page as the source of that photo remain all the way through several shares? You indicated in your article above that if something like a photo went viral, it'd be great free exposure to the person who posted it but that's assuming the name of the original person who posted it remains visible all the way through the subsequent shares.
