Why Post 3 Times Per Day on Facebook?

I was recently asked why do I recommend posting 3 times per day on a Facebook page and decided to share my reasoning.

Fans come from all around the neighbourhood, nation, planet and are on Facebook at various times each day. Not everyone is on all the time like me (although there are some) :-). By posting 3 times per day we increase the opportunity of being seen in the newsfeed of the existing fans.

If people do not like, comment or share one of the posts when it shows up in their newsfeed, slowly but surely the posts from your page will stop appearing in their newsfeed,  Even though they have liked the page. This is how the Facebook algorithm works.  If people don’t comment, like or share Facebook takes that as them not being interested and your posts are not important to them.

As mentioned in a previous post “Facebook Major Changes” Facebook is working very hard to give people what they want.  Facebook wants our pages to be informative, engaging and entertaining.

By posting three times per day, usually morning, noon and night, we have a much better chance that a post will show up in the newsfeed of your fans.  Check the Insights on your page, Facebook will let you know the best time for you to post and get the most engagement.

You may think “this is WAY too much for my fans!”  If that is the case you can always ask them.  Use something like Survey Monkey and specifically ask them if you are posting too much.

One of the new features on Facebook is the “follow” function, however most people don’t use it yet. It’s another way to have your Facebook Page posts page show up in your fan’s newsfeed. Although most people don’t realize it is there or that they need to click on it.You can ask your fans to be sure to click on the “Follow” or “Get Notifications” button.  This will definitely increase the possibility your fans will see your posts.
