Let’s get started.

Tip #1. Asking❓ your followers to make a selection

One of the smartest ways to get people engaged is to post a “this or that” content. Ask individuals to pick a favorite, choose a side, or select b/w two things. Another advantage over these kinds of posts is it can divide fans and can lead to lengthy discussions in the comment section.

Generally, those conversations are great, full of fun, but you have to be aware of the trolls. You can blend in a slight controversy but avoid politics.

Tip #2. Post content when your followers are online✔

This is one of the most valuable tips that you should take into consideration. People log in to Facebook at different intervals. Some spend their whole day surfing on it, while some check it out in the morning hours or in the evening time. You can take the help of Facebook Insights to know the peak times when your fans are the most actively engaged.

If you want people to notice your posts, you should keep posting at different time slots and observe which one works best for you. It is okay if you are planning to post late at night. Though fewer people will notice, the ones who are online are more likely to indulge with your posts. If this engagement formula works, there’s a higher chance that your audience will notice your posts the following day when they log in the next morning.

According to a PowerAdspy study, the best time to post on Facebook is between 1pm-3pm on during Thursday and Friday. We also found that the engagement rates are 18% higher during these two days.

Tip #3. Drop a question !?

One of the most effective ways to boost engagement with your Facebook fans is to ask them a question. Induce interest in them, and if they discover that they can relate to the question, they will answer for sure.

Here are a few inquiries to pose:

Tips – How would you..?

Edgy – Do you think..? (controversial question)

Specific – What’s your favorite..?

Direct – Why do you..?

Events: Who is going/Who attended..?

Timely: Today is…, so what are you..?

Tip #4. Team up with ? Brands

No one ever said that you have to confine your FB efforts to your very own Facebook page. You should look around, post content to other Facebook pages & engage with successful brands when there is synergy and a shared audience.

When you engage with other brands, you can put yourself in front of a completely different audience. But you have to be careful, as the other brands and their followers know what your intention is, so never post spammy content. Move towards building the relationship, post content, and then engage with the community. You can step forward towards working up to an agreement to share someone else’s content. As both sides will get exposed to a massive audience, this will help to gain a mutually profitable boost in the organic reach.

Tip #5. Dole out relevant images?

A picture is worth a thousand words. An appealing image can captivate the attention of the users and can even make a speedy page-scroller to a halt. The impact of the images is long-lasting as they are able to connect with the audience more on an emotional and personal level. You should always use colorful, relevant, and high-quality images.
