Early Achievers In The Pre-Holiday Facebook: Game of Like

Inspired by 'The Game of LIFE' by Milton Bradley

 Are you in the GAME OF LIKE?

 We are having A BLAST!

If you missed the first announcements, blog posts or invitations let me assure you…

It is NOT TOO LATE to start playing now!

A quick refresher: More In Media and Idea Girl Media have teamed up *Yay Team Social Media* and introduced the Pre-Holiday Game of Like on Tuesday October 18.  The game runs until Friday October 28, so there is plenty of time to jump in!

Find my original blog post about the Game of Like here.  Find Idea Girl Media’s blog post here.

As *only* 24 hours have gone by, I sit and assess the game.

I am blown away by what I’ve seen.

‘This post is about highlighting some early Gamers.’

1. Can you say ‘Blog Posts’?

Two Game of Like participants jumped right out of the gate with a blog post each.

#7 – Blog About It

With all the talk about Facebook – now with 800 Million active users – This is a great opportunity to utilize a hot topic and get some eyeballs for your blog!  And meld your audience with a network of 2 Million+ while you’re at it!

All you have to do is write a write a blog post before October 25, 2011 with the following Game of Like ingredients:

• Link to the ‘Pre-Holiday Facebook: Game Of Like’ event page. http://on.fb.me/GAMEOFLIKE
• Link to More In Media (http://moreinmedia.com/)
• Link to Idea Girl Media (http://ideagirlmedia.com/)

A link to each of the two Facebook Pages earns you an extra credit point, but not required (see below for exact links).

2.  Expose’ anyone?

Several players posted a picture of an ‘action’, showing off their work.

#1 – Expose’

In the spirit of Facebook’s new trend toward verbs – actions – Post a picture of yourself and/or your staff DOING something that relates with your business or operation.  Examples: Leading a class, re-arranging your shop, designing flyers, etc.

The photo should not simply be an image of an item you sell — There must be action happening.

Special instructions: Post to both the Idea Girl Media & More In Media Page Walls; Tag your page on both posts.

Points value = 10 points.

Three ‘Front Runners’ who’ve completed this achievement:

Cincinnati GNO

Maralana, Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant

CVP_Marketing

These three players were awarded 10 points because they tagged their page in the picture and posted on both Idea Girl Media and More In Media Facebook Pages.

3. Getting you in the mood with a Holiday Banner

#4 – Beautify Your Branding

Create a 5-image banner with a holiday theme for the top of your Facebook Page.

You will need to tag your page for all 5 images.  Officially, the size is 98 x 68px for each image.

Special Instructions: Post and tag the name of your page and that you have completed this Like Achievement on the Pre-Holiday Facebook Game of Like Event Page wall.

Points value = 25 points

Up your game, people because Dawn Collea of Carolina Quick Response also made a Holiday Banner to ‘Beautify her Branding’.

Let me ask you again…

Are YOU in the Game?

Jump in if you are not.

Jump further and learn new techniques.

Jump higher and achieve more.

Jump funny and we will notice.

Let us know when you achieve; it is perfectly OK to brag about it.
