facebook facts - sometimes your illusions can f you up.
well I just had a great realization about facebook that if I had known it would've saved me a lot of fretting in general. So I've been pushing a couple videos in the last week for a new old band I like a lot. The response has been ridiculously underwhelming, worse than I've ever seen - not the song being rated bad, but how few people actually clicked on it. I researched facebook timelines and it said basically if you make a lot of status posts, the likelihood of any given post you make being seen is less. As you probably know I post a lot. So I ran a test by perusing very closely a friend's timeline. I can't believe what I discovered. I saw posts I made 4 days ago. I refreshed and refreshed til I'd seen everything more than once and the important post I made, with the video link was absolutely NOWHERE on friend's pipeline. No wonder nobody clicked. It never showed up. Then I had my friend classify me as a "close friend" and it still hasn't shown up yet. Jesus what do I have to do to get my important posts (song posts are 10 x more important than any other imo) through, make the same post 10 times? Would that even work?

BLARF.
No header.
No body of text.
BLARF.
Don't try so hard.
Whatever it is you're trying to do,
put more into the doing of it,
and then tell people like you don't give a shit... I don't know...
I'm an idiot, don't listen to me.

okay, you did have a header.
my bad. I have no head and failed to notice.
be your own best friend, first and foremost.
that way, when people are full of crap, but say they're your friend,
you'll have something to compare it too.
"oh hell no, I'm a much better friend to me than you are."
Keep Smiling.
It makes the world wonder what you're up to.

well I like being a facebook persona. but I also like getting my links out there. I'm going to try posting the next one 7 times or something. If they don't like it they can unfriend me but I honestly believe only 1 or 2 will ever be seen, stupid system they have.

Facebook is the wrong place for music.I have seen others try, a few succeed, but for the most part, people are not interested,especially if one has no track record or real success in the music industry. fact. Facebook is mostly for the weak of mind, those looking for a quick fix, a laugh, a jolt, or arguments, meme's , facebook is a cartoon

Yes this is something I noticed a few years ago. I had mention it to you somewhere that I din't think anyone could see my posts, especially the music ones. I stopped posting music on facebook.
My theory is this, they can only post the very most paying posts. Some facebook people have paid allot of money just to be noticed, by having ridiculously high numbers of fake page hits. Never judge a book by its cover. Those numbers mean nothing at all. Youtube is the same thing. The less the numbers the more honest it is, or at least it seams that way. Facebook is starting to remove videos also. People thinks its a world wide distribution of posts, but its not. Its like the music industry, the indies give it bulk and the Majors float on top, collecting the royalties.
do you know how many hits you need to make $10?, do you know how much it costs to have a song promoted for real? the returns are nil. Its an illusion for sure.
It might work if you have someone else post it for you?
