Did you know Facebook uses an algorithm to choose what's displayed in your news feed? That's right, just like Google uses an algorithm to display what you will think of as a relevant search result Facebook has an algorithm to determine what you think is a relevant post. This can present a problem for would be Facebook marketers since many times your posts are not seen by your intended audience. Heare are 3 ways you can get more feed views on Facebook.

1. Post images.

Facebook's EdgeRank algorithm favors images over other types of posts. Facebook as determined people would rather see an image or photo than read a text post, watch a video, or visit a link. So one thing you can do to ensure your posts are reaching the maximum number of people is to upload an image with your post. You can still add a text description and inlcude a link. Just know anytime you link away from Facebook the Edgerank algorithm may reduce the number of people see your post since Facebook has little motivation to send it's users to an external website.

2. Give away something of percieved value.

This is a great way to get likes and a great way to get people eager to view your posts. Your give away doesn't need to cost you a fortune either. It's best if you can give away something like an information product that doesn't cost you anything to create. For example_ Maybe you have a special skill or ability. You can provide an e-book that teaches the special skill or whatever. The key is to be creative. Look at what special knowledge or assets you have access to and turn them into something you can give away on Facebook.

3. Ask your audience to share.

It may seem obvious but a lot of people are reading posts all day and just not thinking about sharing. If you ask someone to share your post at least you're bringing it to their attention. If you're giving them an incentive to share they may be even more willing. Whatever the case - don't just assume people will share when they like something. Ask them to share it.
