Struggling to come up with content and Facebook post ideas for your Facebook business page? It can sometimes be confusing to know what to share with your audience.
If you don’t have a social media content plan for your business page, it can often seem tricky coming up with Facebook post ideas. In this blog post, I am going to share some brilliant Facebook post ideas, that will not only maintain your online presence but actually help to engage with your audience, helping you to grow your social media presence!
21 Engaging Facebook Post Ideas
1. Ask for advice
Sounds simple enough right? This is a great way to engage your audience and generally, people like to offer their advice and help. You could ask for advice on a topic relating to your brand/ niche or you could ask for advice relating to possible new products or services, which also serves as a great way to receive some feedback!
2.Finish a phrase
You can get really creative with this Facebook post idea, try thinking of how you can align this with your business brand and niche.
For e.g.
Complete the sentence…
“When I’m happy I…”
3.Post a poll
Another classic but great way to boost page engagement with your audience. Your poll could be based on your business products/ services, or you can create a simple fun poll that loosely relates to your brand culture. Keeping your poll between 3-5 options works great!
For e.g. #poll Which film do you prefer?
a. Lord of The Rings
b. Avatar
c. Harry Potter
4.#FollowFriday
This started on Twitter but is now being used on Facebook. Follow Friday is a hashtag holiday that’s all about sharing people and discovering new users or pages, recommended by people that you are already connected with.
For e.g.
