Shave my head bald!

Hey guys! As this is the place to promote websites, I thought I'd post my Facebook page here and let you know I'm running a special promotion!

'Like,' share, assimilate..

Thanks!

O.K., so - like - I'm an old guy, right? I mean seriously old, as in; old enough to be your Grandfather, even! But what I don't understand is why are likes so important to you? Are likes going to further your career, or put money in your pocket?

Admittedly, there are some things in which I am hopelessly behind the curve, social media being one of them, but I am curious as to how this all works. How does any of this work?

Ah come on - the "likes" are a virtual currency which, with the right app, tranform to bitcoins or forex equivalents. In some systems, they are redeemable in psychic well-being (however with a high lasting less than that of cocaine, and just as addictive). Also a measure of self-worth, for those who define their self worth by little counters existing somewhere out in cyberspace...

Hey guys, I appreciate your comments, but if you'd like to discuss the pros/cons of this promotion there's a thread in the business section for that. This is simply me advertising here - take it or leave it.

And just fyi, I'm not that amazingly concerned about 'likes,' but I have noticed that the more 'likes' I have on Facebook, the more contacts I am getting. And a lot of people use it as a qualifier - a model goes to my page and sees that I have 500 likes and their thought process might be something like, "oh, he's good enough to have 500 fans, and his work isn't bad. I think I'll check him out!" Same for clients, at least, that's my thinking; it's psychological.

O.K., thanks for the explanation. Just for that, I'll go and check the "like" box.

I definitely agree that likes and followers are important if you are already putting out solid photography and offering your followers great advice and content. They definitely help put a client's mind at ease, especially if you're a less established photographer.
