When
a person joins a contest these days it is usually connected to a number of
social media sites. The most popular contest social media site right now is
Facebook. Facebook now has turned into a “like” marketplace, and Facebook
contestants often goes around asking for likes and comments for their photos
online. One of the usual basis for winning these types of contests is by
gaining a number of Facebook likes/votes from random Facebook user. However,
not everyone can get a good rating when it comes to contests on Facebook,
this may be because of the fact that their work is not that appealing, their
photos are not that creative, their kids are not really charming and these are
I think some of the reasons why they would need to ask a random Facebook friend
for a like/vote.
Don’t get me wrong, it is acceptable to ask your family and close friends for help with regards to your Facebook endeavor but to ask a “not-so-close-civil” Facebook friend for a like/vote is a tad annoying. Especially if the only time you exert an effort to reach out to these people is when you are in need of a favor. If that’s your personality then you should at least make an online gesture that’s says you are acknowledging their Facebook presence, you can atleast post a birthday greeting on their wall before or after a favor.
