You can share text posts, photos, videos, links, and interactive formats such as Facebook Live and Stories.

Informative, authentic content that addresses users' needs tends to perform best.

Text Posts

Text posts are status updates designed to spark conversations, share important information quickly, and engage your audience.

However, they are not ideal for driving traffic to your website or increasing sales, as they can easily get lost among other posts.

Video Posts

Videos are the best-performing content on Facebook, generating the highest engagement.

They are highly engaging, encourage interaction, and are frequently shared.

📌 Tip : Always add subtitles to your videos so they can be watched and understood without sound. This ensures maximum reach, no matter where your audience is.

💡 Facebook also prioritizes videos uploaded directly to its platform over those shared via external links.

Photo Posts

Photo posts are great for attracting new customers and visually showcasing your products or services.

Ensure that your branding is consistent and that you follow Facebook’s recommended image sizes for the best results.

Link Posts

These posts contain external links to websites, blogs, or other online resources. Their main purpose is to drive Facebook users to your website.

You can also use link posts to redirect users to other Facebook posts.

Facebook Stories

Facebook Stories are photos or videos that disappear 24 hours after posting.

Like on Instagram, Stories allow you to share behind-the-scenes content, showcase new products, or introduce services.

📌 Note : Facebook Stories are less popular than Instagram Stories but can still be an effective way to engage your audience.
