If you are struggling with always creating new posts for your Facebook page, a great hack you can try is to share engaging posts of other relevant and well-known Facebook pages.
In this short Facebook page tutorial, we are going to show you how to share a post as a page on Facebook and also explain why it is actually a great practice you should try to do.
Why you should share posts of other Facebook pages?
Before we would show you the step by step of sharing Facebook posts as a Facebook page, here are some reasons why you should start sharing posts as a page on Facebook.
1. You can capitalize on the success of other Facebook posts
If a Facebook post proves to be successful, you can have a good chance that it will get good organic engagement for your page if you share the post with your Facebook page audience as well.
2. You can mix up the content of your Facebook page
If you are always sharing promotional stuff that doesn’t really create engagement, Facebook will stop giving you significant organic reach and even your followers might get fed up with the promotional stuff and stop following your Facebook page.
By sprinkling some engaging and fun posts into your Facebook content calendar you can make your Facebook page more attractive and as these engaging posts should also get higher engagement, Facebook might also increase the reach of your promotional posts as well.
3. You can save a lot of time
Creating engaging, interesting Facebook posts can take huge time. Coming up with creative ideas and then implementing them, designing a creative, and then adding an engaging Facebook post description all takes time and energy.
If you share posts of other Facebook pages, you can pretty much skip 90% of the work and still get most of the benefits.
