Facebook’s News Feed is becoming increasingly competitive. With the rise of smartphones, sharing content has become incredibly easy, leading to a massive influx of information. Facebook estimates that each user has 1,500 potential stories vying for their attention, a number that can skyrocket to 15,000 for users with extensive friend lists and page likes. This competition for valuable screen real estate intensifies as the number of pages liked by users continues to grow.

Facebook’s Algorithm: Putting Your Content in Front of Customers
Out of these thousands of potential stories, Facebook carefully selects just 300 to appear in each user’s News Feed. To understand what resonates most with its users, Facebook actively surveys its audience. A recent survey revealed a strong preference for authentic content over promotional messages. Responding to this feedback, Facebook has adjusted its algorithm to prioritize posts that offer valuable information and stories.

8 Tips for Creating Content That Stands Out
To ensure your business’s posts land in customer News Feeds, focus on high-quality content rather than promotional advertising. Here are eight tips to help you create compelling content that captivates your audience:
- Understand your customers: Spend time analyzing the types of people who interact with your business, focusing on the most frequent demographics. Discover their interests, what they want to learn, and create content that addresses these needs.
- Uncover hidden gems: Delve into your business archives – newsletters, research reports, even old catalogs – to find valuable content that can be repurposed for Facebook. You might be surprised by the goldmines of information lying dormant within your organization.
- Spark conversation: Engaging questions are a powerful tool for initiating conversations with your followers. Encourage interaction and build stronger relationships by inviting them to share their thoughts and opinions.
- Images speak volumes: Photos and videos are far more engaging than text alone. Utilize high-quality visuals that are relevant to your audience and enhance your messages.
- Curate and add your perspective: Sharing content from other sources can be valuable, but make it your own by adding your unique insights and perspective. This showcases your expertise and provides valuable information to your audience.
- Brevity is key: Keep your Facebook posts concise and to the point. Limit your posts to under 250 characters to avoid overwhelming your readers. Embrace the opportunity to showcase your business’s personality in a fun and engaging way.
- Invite them in: The goal of your Facebook page is to deepen your connection with your customers. Don’t just talk at them; invite them to participate. Include calls to action, such as “Visit our website” or “Call us,” to encourage active engagement.
- Timing is everything: Facebook engagement peaks on weekdays. Aim to post early in the morning before the workday starts or late in the afternoon as the workday winds down. These are the most opportune times to capture your audience’s attention.
