In this post I will give you 3 quick ideas to help you boost conversation and get more Facebook  page engagement. The problem:

You've had a Facebook page for sometime and in the good old days you didn't have to do that much to generate conversation. But now people's attentions are being split everywhere and Facebook's elusive algorithm has changed and is always changing. Like Google there's no way really to beat the system without getting a slap on the wrist (and rightly so). So what can you do to get that old conversational spark back that you once had without breaking the rules?

1. Post less promotional material 

The best thing you can do right now is ditch the sales and think about how you can show off your expertise or products without actually shouting BUY THIS at every given opportunity. Saving your promotions for advertising means you can spend your time getting social with your fans. Create a content calendar and put together a mix of content which is interesting, inspiring, fun and engaging. Use Canva to create fun images and post planner to find already well known viral content.

2. Ask questions

This is such a simple yet effective way to start a conversation in the real world and on social media. I love, love love!! Post Planner.
