9 Unusual Facebook Pages You Never Thought You’d LIKE
Humans of New York
This page offers the stories of random people in New York — ranging from a happy couple who met via an arranged marriage to an actor who works as a police officer to pay the bills.
It’s an awesome idea. And it’s very well executed.
What I like:
- Photos are beautiful! They catch your attention & provide a great visual experience for the audience
- Compelling cover photo — professional with a powerful background
- Awesome stories told on the page — scrolling through my news feed, I always stop for their posts >> Click to Tweet
This is one of my favorite pages of all time:
The Chicken Chick at Egg Carton Labels
The Chicken Chick at Egg Carton Labels is a retailer of egg carton labels & other chicken-related products.
But this page about chickens & eggs is anything but boring!
What I like:
- Page is FUN — owners openly engage fans in interesting conversations (they even named a hen “Ellen DeHENeres”)
- Page is consistent, every day there are at least 6 to 8 posts — humor, giveaways, blog posts & promotional items
What better place than a chicken page to crack a few jokes
Qubies
I know in 2 seconds what this page is about!
Qubies is an Australian company that helps customers freeze & store breast milk & baby food.
What I like:
- Page is very direct — even name explains exactly what page is about
- Page managers post consistently — 2 to 3 times a day with a good mix of humor, quotes, promotional posts & giveaways >> Click to Tweet
The right meme can always go big:
World Turtle Day
American Tortoise Rescue hosts World Turtle Day every May 23 to encourage people to help turtles & tortoises survive & thrive.
They’ve turned that occasion into an awesome Facebook page!
What I like:
- Page managers are personable & skilled — I like how they give names & personalities to these lovable creatures (cue Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song)
- Page has built a strong community — with 5,300 fans, the community on this page is very active
I’d like to see them post photos like this more often:

Of course, for businesses it’s all about the bottom line in the end.
But your Facebook page doesn’t have to be boring!
