You your want to ensure your posts are getting  seen by your fans, the posts need to be engaging.

By engaging, I mean your fans need to be either liking, commenting or sharing the posts.

Check out these five tips and ideas to help boost likes and comments and get your business greater exposure on Facebook:  

1. Ask Questions: 

Asking your fans questions & using fill-in-the-blank posts are some of the easiest ways to get people to engage with your posts.

Don't tell anybody... but when I'm craving some Likes & comments from my own Facebook friends, I'll post a few of these suggestions just to get my community talking.

Works like a charm. Every time.

Here are a few I just found in the engine that might work well on your fan page today:

• How many rings before you answer the phone?
• What's the first luxury car the pops in your head?
• If I hear one more word about ______, I'm going to explode!

2. Use Images 

If you're trying to get more engagement, images are great to tell stories quickly & powerfully -- and thereby get more exposure in the news feed.

Plus they just look good.

And if you take the time to brand your photos with your company's logo, everyone who sees your great pic on Facebook will know it's coming from you.

While posting relevant content & driving traffic to your website is key -- occasionally you've just got to have some fun.

So experiment with that funny meme! Ask those random questions!

I think you'll find that these posts get some of the best response.

3.Post Tips

Interesting and useful content is one of the top reasons why people follow brands on Facebook.

This includes tips and tricks, blog posts, how-to articles, guides andeBooks.

By sharing your expertise and landing a helping hand to your fans in need you also help people see your business as a trusting source of valuable information.

4.  Post Often 

If you Post once a week  your not giving much for anyone to engage with.   If you post at least once a day ( recommend 3  post a day).  I personally post  about 10 times a day!   

Be sure to like your own post  if you do not like your content.

5. SHARE YOUR POST

Share your business post on your personal page,  when advertising in groups share your post.    

Share other people post  the  give insight to your business on your page. 

Share fun pages, recipes, and photos.  If you would like it someone else will probably like it to.

Ways to Find Great Content

• FACEBOOK & TWITTER  

Every morning while I drink my coffee, I scroll through the posts from the previous day (or since I last scrolled) to see what’s new. Most of what shows up in my feed is super useful info, news or some much needed comic relief (but only a little bit of that.) With just 140 characters apiece, I can easily find things of interest to me quickly. 

When I feel like I need to find a few new influences, I go to some of my favorites and see who THEY’RE following. I also use the handy #(hashtag) to find people/organizations who specialize in specific areas of interest to me.

• PINTEREST

In the spirit of keeping things simple, my other “go to” source for inspiration and ideas is Pinterest. The Pinterest  always seems to know exactly what I am curious about and fill my feed there regularly with great stuff. They also send me emails (based on my settings) with Pins and Boards that might be of interest to me.

• GOOGLE ALERTS

 Google will send you an email every day with anything new on your topics of choice from that day? It’s super cool. Each night, I get a few emails from them with snippets of whatever’s been published about the topics I follow. You can set your own up right here.

I suggest picking a few topics that go with what interest you. When you put a topic into the search, Google will show you what your sample summary will look like. Sometimes choosing a narrow topic is better, and sometimes you need to widen the net.
