Read how to make a successful post on Facebook

Today we’re going to dig out how to make a successful post on your Facebook page.

One needs to follow a set of practices that result in a successful Facebook post such as images, links, videos, captions and call to actions, etc.

Briefing in tit-bits as to what makes a Facebook post successful:

1. Photo: It is most widely known that image posts work best on Facebook. Though a textual post would give you the highest reach, a pictorial post will give you maximum engagement. It is advised that you use a relevant image along with your post on Facebook. Contests, polls, questions, information, quotes etc can all be fitted in an image and shared on Facebook. This not only grabs the eyeballs of the audience, but can also get you clicks if shared along with a link.
   Please note that using copyright images should be strictly prohibited. In case there isn’t any other option, give due credits to the image source to avoid any hassle.
2. Keep It Short and Simple (KISS method): According to various reports, Facebook posts with 80 or lesser characters have 27% higher engagement. Writing long status updates and descriptions serves no purpose if it does not gets its due reach. An average Facebook user has 210 friends. About 400 million-plus Facebook users are active in any given day. While you post on your brand page, you are contending with the posts of more than hundreds of other people and pages. People do not have time to read longer posts. Therefore it is wise to chart out your post in less than 80 characters. Wish to write a longer post? Write a blog post and share it on Facebook!
3. Call-To-Action strategy: The most fruitful questioning words to be used for a call to action are when, where, should and would. A call to action is a question, request or a demand. A mere “LIKE if you agree” does a lot of talking if the content being shared with the audience is worth liking.
