Are you engaging your Facebook friends and fans with your posts? Did you know the more that people interact with the things you post, the higher the chances are that Facebook will show your future posts on their newsfeed?
Your fan page followers, group members and personal profile friends all have one thing in common, they are people. They are primarily on Facebook to socialise, they do not want to be bombarded with advert after advert about your business. Your content needs to be interesting and entertaining, this will attract more people to want to connect with you and will also mean that more people see your business posts when you do put them up.
As a general rule of thumb, 8 out of 10 of your content should be fun and entertaining and 2 out of 10 should be the product or sponsoring related.
Engaging FM World UK Facebook Post Ideas
Here are some of our most engaging FM World UK Facebook post ideas:
Motivational Quotes
People love sharing these, but don’t show other people’s quote images. Create your own picture and put the quote on there. Always give credit on the image to the person who said the quote, as well as include your own hashtag.
This or That
Asking people what they like best out of two simple choices works well, these can be basic things like Pizza or Curry?
A, B, C or D
Put four images on a grid picture with a, b, c or d on each image and ask people to select a favourite – images could be product pics like different shades of lipstick or non-business related like seasons of the year.
Polls
These work well in customer groups, asking people what product types they would like more offers on for example, e.g. perfumes, cosmetics, skincare or nutrition.
Questions
People love to give their opinions, so ask fun questions, but stay away from subjects like politics or religion!
Lifestyle Posts
Include some posts about the freedom your business gives you, this could simply be things like taking the kids to the park at times when others are stuck in 9-5 jobs. Perhaps a picture of you in a nice restaurant or meeting up with team members.
Funny or Inspiring Videos
You will find lots of videos to share on YouTube, but make sure you copy the share code and paste it into your post. Don’t just click on the button under the YouTube video to share it or share it from someone else’s page. You want people to stay on your page.
Fill In The Blank
For example, the first thing I put on my face in the morning is …………….
Life Tips
Things that you have learnt or read about, could include beauty and health tips.

Take pictures with your products within the image at different locations and in various situations.
