Why Make Your Posts Shareable?
Many people like to keep their Facebook community small and close-knit. But, if you are an influencer, company, or even a small business owner, then making your posts shareable could change your life.
But, shareable Facebook posts are not only beneficial to business owners and influencers. They can also help members of the community spread important information.
Some of the reasons to make your posts shareable are:
- To highlight a local issue or event. For example, there may be a bad thunderstorm on its way and you want to warn people to stay indoors and keep safe. Or, it may be the opening night of your shop or restaurant and you want to let as many people know as possible.
- To share knowledge. If you are an expert in a certain field, you may want to take to Facebook to share some important knowledge about a current event. Having a shareable post means you will reach a wider audience.
- It’s fun. You may have a funny video you want the world to see. Enabling sharing on your post can bring a lot of joy and laughter to the world.
