Building a fan base on Facebook (FB) can be a bit of an uphill struggle when you\u2019re starting out. Even if your business is well known and gets some likes, it can be difficult actually to get people to engage and interact with the page. While you can certainly have small business sales with little interaction, it\u2019s those comments and shares that really get things moving.<\/span>
While there\u2019s no set number of interactions you should see at any given level of likes, it\u2019s important to get some interaction. Check out your page\u2019s Insights to get a better idea of your engagement levels.<\/span>
The actual posts that your audience interacts with will depend greatly on who they are and what they\u2019re interested in. Photographers will tend to like images or how-to videos more than people who are interested in blogging tips, for example. Tailor your posts to your audience, but make sure you are looking at the statistics, too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of FB Posts to Create<\/b><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Ready to get your audience actively participating on your page? Here are some posts that are sure to get them interested.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 – Name Something<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People love to help out, so ask them for ideas to name your new product. You can post a photo of the product and get people to submit ideas. This is a great way to promote something that isn\u2019t out yet and to let your audience feel like they\u2019re part of the process.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 – Choose A or B<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get your audience to participate by showing them two options in a photo and asking them which they prefer. They\u2019ll feel that they must give you their opinions, and you\u2019ll see more engagement on these types of posts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 – Contests<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offer a prize and encourage people to share the post. If your prize is a good one, with high perceived value, you should see a drastic increase in shares and likes. Something tangible is often best.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 – Videos<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Post a video, and it immediately engages your audience. This can either be a shared video, one you made yourself, or it could be a Facebook Live. Since Live videos are posted once you\u2019re done recording, they can be a great way to get your followers involved.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 – Trivia Questions<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ask your followers a trivia question that relates to your niche and watch them try and answer it. Who doesn\u2019t love to show off their knowledge? Include an image or make the trivia question the image to catch everyone\u2019s attention.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 – Emotional Posts<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to share emotional and interesting things on your page. Your followers will enjoy learning that there is a human behind the company. Emotional posts could include a throwback image from your past, a post about a new member or the team, or a story about someone who is sick and asking for good wishes and positive thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 – Crowdsourcing Answers<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Post a question that you\u2019ve recently received from a fan and request help from your audience in responding. Everyone is eager to offer their advice when it comes to crowdsourcing answers. Take advantage of this need to be right, and get them talking on your page.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Boosting small business sales with quality posts that get people talking can take some practice, but it\u2019s worth the effort put in. Captivate your audience with great posts, and you\u2019ll see an increase in website traffic and sales. <\/span>
