5 Facebook post that get the Highest Engagement

Have you ever seen a post from a friend, and it’s REALLY well written, and you think – “𝘞𝘖𝘞, 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵” OR “𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵?”

I was recently chatting with some fellow online marketers and we agreed that when starting out, one of the biggest challenges is writing content. Not because you don’t have great ideas or something to say, but because our minds are not currently trained to process thoughts into written text.

Like all great skills – Copy Writing and Content writing are crucial skills to learn…they are also the hardest to outsource due to the fact it’s quite personal and specific to where your business is at, during that moment. (PS: I’ll do a post later explaining the difference between COPY and CONTENT)

Whether you are new to online marketing or a 7 figure guru – we all often need a framework in which to funnel our ideas.

These 5 Styles of Facebook posts are a great reminder and guide for content creation:

𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗬𝗟𝗘 #𝟭: 𝗕𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁
𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹: 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛

‘BAIT POST’ is where you exchange something that your audience really wants, in return for something else.

𝗣𝗥𝗢: Potential of HUGE engagement (if you know your audience)
𝗖𝗢𝗡: Could be tough to deliver, depending on how it’s structured. (However, could be really worth it)

𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘:

𝘓𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴!!!

NOTE: Could also ask to follow a link and drop an email in or even connect with your chatbot

𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗬𝗟𝗘 #𝟮: “𝗖𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁” 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁
𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟: 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛

A “Chit Chat” post would be asking a normal everyday question to your audience. ✍️

𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘:
– 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨?
– 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵: 𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘰𝘳 𝘌𝘹𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘦? 𝘞𝘩𝘺?

𝗣𝗥𝗢: Subject is easy to think of, multiple times per week
𝗖𝗢𝗡: None – but don’t overdo them!!!!

𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗬𝗟𝗘 #𝟯: “𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿” 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁
𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟: 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵

This can be fun and get SUPER engagement. A ‘Trigger” post is when you say or ask something controversial or polarizing – resulting in people have strong opinions on or get heated over.

𝗣𝗥𝗢: Creates LASTING engagement
𝗖𝗢𝗡: Causes people to get angry and can cause chaos inside your group

𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘:

𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟: 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺-𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛

THE “ORIGIN” post is where you share how you overcame a struggle or your own success (rags to riches) story. Your audience can REALLY relate to this and helps build your culture 💪

𝗣𝗥𝗢: People love these uplifting and motivating stories – if done right! (STRONGEST TYPE OF POST)
𝗖𝗢𝗡: Can come across cliché, if done wrong

𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘:
“20 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘴 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥 7 𝘧𝘶𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 1 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 only $500 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘱”

Let the audience Relate… Get out of your shell, share your story, and KEEP SHARING it…

𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗬𝗟𝗘 #𝟱: “𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲” 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁
𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟: 𝗟𝗼𝘄-𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵

This type of post is where you give 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗘 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 to your group, without asking for anything in return. Sometimes engagement is good, depending on WHAT and HOW you teach.

𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘:

𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬:
Don’t do too much of 1 thing, keep mixing them up and keep things varied. It will not only keep your audience engaged, but it’s also more fun for you too.
