You Do Want Better Results in Your Facebook News Feeds ?

 

 

What do you need to do to make it into your readers’ Facebook newsfeeds?

Many people post once a day and think that’s enough. It’s really not.

Keep in mind…

Facebook will show your updates to only a small percentage of your readers/fans because of the news feed algorithm.

So, remember…

Post a minimum of 2 or 3x a day consistently and posting what your readers like = more visibility = more reach = more engagement.

Engagement does relate to reach in your Facebook newsfeed…

 Facebook engagement is when someone likes your Facebook Page or one of your posts, or shares, comments, or even watches a video on your page for a few seconds or more.

But what do Facebook newsfeeds and reach have to do with one another?

  • Reach measures the unique number of people who see content connected with your Page
  • The more reach you have, the more possibilities of engagement.
  • This also goes along with the more Page Likes (more fans) that you have, the more possible reach and engagement could happen for your page.

So what’s the takeaway?

Do a lot of guessing, exploring, and testing with your Facebook page posts to help you figure out what your readers will want to see in their Facebook newsfeeds.

Because…

You’ll have to try a lot of different types of content to find what your readers will respond the most to.

  • Post on a regular schedule.
    • Create a content calendar and plan a posting schedule of what/when you’ll post. This really does help you be more strategic and regular in posting.
    • Create and share content that’s visual, relevant, and valuable to your ideal readers.
  • Facebook looks at shares and comments as pulling in more weight than a quick “Like”.
  • I’ve read that an old post is a dead post. This means that you need to post often and consistently.

Take a look at Facebook newsfeeds and the influencers that are similar to you (your competition)…

  • What attracts you to stop and look – plus how many likes, comments, or shares are they getting?
  • What pulls you in?

That’s not all…

Mix up posts – Use a 4 to 1 rule

Post 3 valuable informative, entertaining, or fun pieces of content for every 1 promo piece.

  • Being creative can push your posts to get noticed and get others to take action to engage with your content in their Facebook newsfeeds.
  • Optimize your posts – once you understand what it is that pulls in your readers, do it again and again.
