An interesting thing happened to me the other day. In the course of
performing routine search engine marketing tasks, I received a message from
someone who had just "liked" one of my Facebook fan pages, Marketing Ideas
101. The message read:
"Hey, I just liked your Facebook fan page! Please like mine back!" ~ Random
Now, I don't know about you, but every time this happens to me, I feel
awkward. What if I look at this person's page and determine it's junk? What
if it's spammy? What if it holds little value in the world at all? The
burden! The obligation! All from a single note from someone I've never met!
Gasp. What if I don't like their page?
I try to bring value to my websites. I try to inject interesting content,
helpful tips and a wealth of wisdom in my contributions to the Internet
community.
In addition, it takes a lot to "wow" me. I've never just "liked," or
"followed," or "retweeted" someone just to be nice. Oh, wait..that's not
true.
I believe one of the best ways we can shine in the world - including the
virtual world of social media - is to show integrity in our communications
with others. Our daily challenge is to bring that integrity to every corner
of our presence, both online and offline.
The next time someone asks you to "like" them back, make sure you can do so
with a true heart and a clear conscience.
