Tip: Frequency and
overcoming Facebook EDGE
• Only 6-14% of your ”likes” see your posts
• The lifetime of a post is only 3-4 hours
>>> Post 4-12 times each day
>>> Differentiate posts
– Text only
– Photos only
– Your own content vs OPM – Other People’s Content
• Use Facebook Insights or other analytic tools to monitor your progress on a daily/weekly basis
