Recently, petitions and voting activities have been all the rage in Taiwan; they have in fact become one of the most popular social networking activities, and a new way for people to make their voices heard. This article presents four secrets to winning votes on Facebook which can help to boost your popularity.
曾幾何時，連署、投票成了全民運動，成了時下最夯社交互動、發聲的新管道。這裡分享Facebook拉票四大祕訣，讓大家的人緣更上一層樓。
Secret No. 1: Make effective use of the “Create an Event” function to encourage people to vote
祕訣1 用「舉辦活動」功能，邀大家來投票
The “Jasmine Revolution” and “Occupy Wall Street” movements offer lessons in how to make effective use of Facebook’s “Create an Event” function to make things snowball. If you can come up with a striking, appealing slogan, then you are halfway there. It is best to come straight to the point; if a single phrase or sentence can get Internet users to vote, then there is no need to expend the effort on writing a long tract to convince them.
學學「茉莉花革命」、「占領華爾街活動」，善用Facebook「舉辦活動」(Create an Event)的功能才可做到一傳十、十傳百，想個聳動或吸引人的標題，就成功了一半。最好是開門見山，若一句話即可讓網友投下一票，就不必拐彎抹角寫一堆文字找人投票。
Secret No. 2: Keep changing your photo to implement constant, 24-hour canvassing
祕訣2 更換大頭貼照，24hr拉票不間斷
If you want people to know that you are canvassing for votes, then the best way to go about it is to add the words “Vote for me” next to your photo on your Facebook page. This way, if people notice that you have changed your photo, they will also notice that you are canvassing for votes.
想讓朋友看見你在催票，最好是在大頭貼上加註如「投我一票」的字樣，如此一來，朋友看見你更換大頭貼照的動態消息，即可知道你在拉票。
Secret No. 3: Keep posting updates of the latest information, so that the Walls on your friends’ Facebook pages become an advertisement for your canvassing efforts
祕訣3 PO近況更新，讓朋友的塗鴉牆成為拉票看板
You can mark friends’ names on your Wall, on photos, videos, or on a diary; when they have been marked they will appear on the friends’ Walls. The general feeling is that marking a friend’s name on a photo or video is rude if the content of the photo or video has nothing to do with that friend, but if you are on good enough terms with the friend, then this is an effective way of spreading the message.
塗鴉牆、相片、影片、網誌都可以標記朋友的名字，標記後會出現在朋友的塗鴉牆。普遍認為，在相片、影片標記朋友的名字，若照片內容和朋友不相干，是不禮貌的行為，但若是夠麻吉的朋友，這樣的確擴散極佳。
Secret No. 4: You vote for me, I vote for you; making new friends through mutual canvassing assistance
祕訣4 你投我、我投你，相互拉票交朋友
If you search on Facebook or online forums, you can find fan pages, groups and discussions related to canvassing for votes. Voting for one another in a process of mutual exchange is very straightforward.
在Facebook上或論壇上搜尋，都可以找到相互拉票的粉絲頁、社團或是討論，一票換一票情義相挺，再直接簡單不過了。
