Top News VS Most Recent

The "Top News" feed is based on an algorithm which decides whether or not your post should be shown into their main stream. The "Top News" Feed is (indeed) more exposed so it is interesting to understand how to write better posts to get a bigger audience. Here's few tricks:

1. Specify your target

If you specify a target, you show to Facebook you are dedicating your post to a certain category of people. Meaning they are more likely to enjoy what you are posting so your post deserves to be seen.

2. @Tag Others

Facebook loves people who share with others! Right? When you tag others people, you add meaning to your post so it increases your chance to get in the "Top News" Feed.

3. Attach content

Photo? Video? Event? Link? You choose! But attaching content is more engaging for your audience and increase your change to be in the News Feed as well.

4. Have a thumbnail

It's just more eye-catching and more user friendly. If your page linked doesn't have pictures in it. Add this line in your code or read this.

5. Engage your customers

Ask questions, avoid the closed questions. Try to engage your customers, let them tell you what they have to say!

6. Ask Your Friends to Break the ice

The idea is that the algorithm will put more easily your post in the main stream if you already have few comments and likes. So as soon as you post, go to your chat box and ask your friends to comment.
