Facebook Post Tips

  1. Share a tip. Start the post with "TIP" so it stands out in followers' feeds.
  2. Post the most interesting fact related to your content and link to the rest.
  3. Engage. Respond to comments and answer questions; don't ignore or remove negative feedback.
  4. Stay positive. Positive, helpful updates inspire more engagement than negative ones.
  5. Host a Timeline contest or promotion. Pages can host contests and promotions on their Timelines by asking fans to Like or comment on their post. Use a Comment/Like importer feature to pick a winner and to aggregate and export data.
  6. Include images/videos since they're more likely to be shared.
