Parentella

I have been hiding. I just had some family issues and travel come up so I was offline. I wrote this post which is a resource for you to use good pictures for your page. Pictures are easy as they are binary (Like: Yes/No) and people find it easy to engage with simple choices. Who doesn’t?

In addition to posing engaging questions on your Facebook page, you can also share sites and cool things with your audience. Here are some of my favorite sources of information and cool posts.

1. http://whathappenedinmybirthyear.com/
2. http://theoatmeal.com
3. http://www.good.is–They have great info graphics. Who doesn’t like those right?
4. http://imgfave.com/ This is my new favorite site. I love it! Some of the images are adult so you have to sift through them. There are plenty of uplifting posts that you can post on your Facebook page to end a week nicely or begin one or somewhere in between.
5. Of course, there is always Pinterest and Stumbleupon.

Other types of posts that work really well are ones with inspirational quotes, pictures, nice pictures. In any case, enjoy and use the above. I will be back with more resources for your page. It is good to be back.
