#1 Keep your updates short
Studies show us that the shorter your post, the more engaging your post will be. We are living in a "microwave" society; everyone wants it quick, easy, and fast. Shorter posts will also make it easier to cross promote on sites such as Twitter which only allows a 140 character limit.

Such content includes but is not limited to images with quotes and motivational speeches, Post things that are pleasing to the eye and that will go viral.

You also want to make sure you post enough content in order to stay visible in your friend's newsfeed. You need to make sure your friends are seeing your content. Facebook tends to show your posts to the people who engage the most with your content and they may hide your content from others.

One sure way to improve your Facebook engagement to your social media marketing blog is to ask questions. Your audience will relate better to you if they feel you are "talking with" them and not "taking at" them. Your readers will respect you more if you ask for their perspective. A question is always followed by an answer, which simply means more comments!
