Below is an example of a Facebook post with an image with which I wanted to gather as many likes as possible without additional advertising. The post was published on Sunday at 2 PM, when the Facebook page Zdrava prehrana in recepti had about 48,000 likes.
3 reasons why this Facebook post had such a good response:
1. The image! One that you simply cannot overlook (tempting), without text and the right size (max 500 x 500 pixels).
2. Timing! The hottest time to post desserts is after lunch – between 1 PM and 3 PM. This was posted on Sunday at 2 PM – and the weather was nice outside. Usually, there is a better response in bad weather when we have nothing better to do and hang out on Facebook.
3. The text! Short and with clear instructions. “Quickly like the image if you want the recipe for raw chocolate pie.” If you like it, you will get something in return. This simply works for most people... including me 🙂
Certainly, for a good and viral free Facebook post, the number of likes the page has on which we are posting is also important.
