Question: I've Liked pages and posted a greeting. The Facebook page owner thanks me but doesn't return the favor. Is there a polite way of telling them it's an exchange?

Oh I wish there was a nice way to say "I liked you now you like me" ... Maybe coming up with a playful comment would be OK to say???? Does anyone have thoughts on this question???

And here is another page I just found for self employed moms : )

I LIKED both of you! YesToCupcakes, I love your cover photo! Mimi, I'm a bit starsruck to have you LIKE my page icon_redface.gif I've been an admirer of yours for a while now!

Re: reciprocity. I've had "Friends" who didn't bother to like my page invite me to like their page! I've even had friends who didn't like my page plug a mutual friend's page on ther timeline.

Also, I have trouble getting people to go to my page. I'll share something on my personal timeline and they'll "like" the link but not go to the page and "like" the post there.

Thank you, Mandy and Elcee. I actually like all small businesses. I just really Like those that Like me, too. It's a tough world out there, we're all in this together. That's why I post on CC.

Hi Barbara, I liked your page! Facebook LIkes are a little tricky. The Like only counts if it's done from our personal page. So as myself, I Like a page. Then I switch to BakingFix and Like again, so the business gets added to my BakingFix Likes.
