How I Generated Over 19,000 Likes on Facebook in Just Two Days

When I started the Facebook page for Eagle’s Point Cabin, it had zero followers, zero likes, and zero content. Just me, an empty page, and an idea.

I knew I needed something big to kick it off…something that would stop people mid-scroll. So, I decided to run a giveaway: 50% off a guest’s first stay.

But I knew the key wasn’t just the discount…. it was in how I framed it.

Starting with the Hook

People love free stuff, yes. But more than that, they love possibility. A relaxing weekend away. A peaceful cabin in the woods. A chance to unplug and unwind. That’s what I was really offering, and that’s how I wrote the post. I paired strong visuals with simple, clear language and emphasized how easy it was to enter and share.

The post ended up reaching over 2 million people. It got 19,000 likes and 21,000 shares in just a few days. I kept checking the numbers because I couldn’t quite believe it. But that’s the power of shareable content: it spreads fast.

What Made It Work

This wasn’t a lucky break. It worked because the content was:

• Visual: A high-quality photo of the cabin made people want to win.

• Relatable: People could imagine themselves there.

• Simple: The instructions to enter were clear and quick.

• Shareable: The kind of thing someone would tag a friend in with “we should go here.”

And once that traction started, I didn’t let the page go quiet.

Keeping the Momentum

After the giveaway, I followed up with consistent posts including photos of the cabin, guest reviews, local things to do in Broken Bow, and reminders about seasonal availability. I made sure the tone stayed relevant, and I always tried to keep the content useful to our followers.

Eventually, the page grew to over 19,000 followers, all organic. No bots, no paid traffic… just people genuinely interested in the experience we were offering.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that good marketing isn’t about shouting the loudest. It’s about offering something that makes people stop, feel something, and say, “I want that.”
