This is part of my new series on ‘How to be a Blogger‘ – just ignore this one if you’re here for the food!
Okay, so we covered why your Facebook page is sucking, and what you can do to fix it, but coming up with engaging statuses can be a pain in the tuchus. Not to worry, I’m gonna go ahead and spoon feed them to you. Because, I love you and I want you to succeed. There’s plenty of room on the internet for everyone!
Here’s my tried and true list of Facebook status updates that will get people talking. I’m showing them exactly as they appeared on my page, but feel free to add your own flair! Also I’ve linked each one to my actual use of it, so you can check for yourself how well it worked! (For the purposes of perspective, as of this writing, my Facebook page has about 2,500 followers):

Now, it’s important to remember that this is only one component of the formula to whip your Facebook page into shape. But it’s an important one! So, go ahead, get to scheduling! And if you need more inspiration? Check out these gals who are seriously rocking Facebook:

I have a question about this practice. I thought that when you asked a question, it needed to be about the topic of your page, but I see that some of yours have nothing to do with food. I have a golf course I am promoting, and won't people think it is odd that I ask them what their first pet was? Thanks!
