Headlines are super powerful! Your goal = become Buzzfeed worthyl
How to Create Clickable Titles
➔ Keep Them Short
➔ Keep Them Intent Based
➔ Keep Them Targeted and Focused
and…
Make Them Sexy
According to Hubspot:➔ Have some fun with alliteration. "Foolproof
Formula" and "Writing Wonderful." It makes something a little lovelier to read, and that can have a subtle but strong impact on your reader.
➔ Use strong language. Strong phrases (and, frankly, often negative ones) like "Kick-Ass," "Things People Hate," or "Brilliant" pack quite a punch. But use them in moderation.
➔ Make the value clear. Presenting the format and/or contents to a reader helps make your content a little sexier.

Posting thought-provoking questions to your Page is one of the best ways to increase engagement. People love to talk if you give them a chance!

➔ Fill in the blank (e.g. “If I could go anywhere in the world, I’d go to ______________”)
➔ Trending topics (e.g. “Who are you cheering for in the upcoming finals?”)
➔ Business-related questions (e.g. “What’s your favorite tool for increasing your productivity?”)
➔ Product preferences with photos: Show the choices, then ask your fans which product they prefer.
➔ Opinions on a blog post: Link to a post, then ask your fans a question about the post

12. Add Context to Your Link Posts
If you want people to click on links to your blog posts, be sure to provide a post excerpt, backstory or a "what's in it for them" blurb.
13. Post Frequently to Get More Reach
Facebook organic post reach has fallen over the past few years. This means your posts often reach only a small percentage of your fans.
Posting high-quality content more frequently can lead to better engagement and increased reach for your posts.
