1. Stay Consistent
Maintain consistency by posting daily throughout the week, a minimum of 5 times.

Use eye catching images and alternate between photos, videos, or text only updates.

Keep posts between 100 and 150 characters, fewer than 3 lines of text to receive 60% more likes, comments, and shares than longer posts.

Your content should let your audience know that you know they are there.

Use a voice that is authentic and true to your brand. People are your friends and fans because they like what you do.

If you ask your fans to share, like, or comment, they are more likely to do so.

Before you share on Facebook, consider if the content will be of value by your audience.
