What are your favorite Facebook update tips?
Writing compelling and engaging Facebook updates can be a struggle for some small businesses. Finding the right balance between information and conversation is something to strive for. Last week I gave you five tips for engaging Facebook updates; here are 5 more to use on your next posts.
5 Writing Tips for Facebook Updates
- Ask Fans
There’s nothing like asking fans directly when you want a response. Create a call to action at the end of a post to start a dialog; ask fans their opinion on a news topic or what they’re doing for the weekend.
- Post Quotes
Inspirational and famous quotes are one of the most relatable types of posts on social media. Many people like to feel connected to a person or moment in time. Use quotes within an image to increase the likelihood of interaction.
- Play Right
Asking for likes and shares may not be your best tactic to increase interaction. Facebook is not the place to beg for responses; people have to be interested in what you’re post says.
- Use Full Links
When posting to an external website, always use the full link. Shortened links are 3 times less likely to get clicked on than a full connection.
- Be Yourself
Fans are following your brand because they like you and what you represent. Sounding too mechanical can portray a different image than they are used to. Just remember to speak and sound like yourself to connect with fans.
Finding the right way to create engaging Facebook updates is worth your time and effort. Asking fans, posting quotes, playing right, using full links and being yourself are the best tactics you have at your disposal. Share with us your favorite Facebook update tips in the comments below!
