Optimizing your Posts
• Posts with 80 characters or less have higher engagement rates
• Think before you using URL shorteners, higher engagement when you use a full-length URL
• Always add room for users to engage each post in form of question or otherwise
• Ask a question at the end of posts for higher engagement then if asked in the beginning or middle
• Don’t always send traffic to your website, keep convo on Facebook
