Do you have a strategy for your Facebook marketing? Are you noticing a decline in your organic reach recently? More than ever it is important to use Facebook Insights to reach your audience.
There has been a steady decline in fan page organic reach since 2012. Facebook just announced that they would focus more on showing content from family and friends on the newsfeeds. This will have an effect on fan page views. Organic reach is predicted to drop by 50%. Organic reach is when a person sees your content in their feed without you paying. That means that if your posts were reaching 20 people, you will now only reach ten fans.
What can artists and business owners do to get their message out to their fans? You have worked hard to build your fan page, and you rely on people seeing your content. There is no way to fight against Facebook’s changes. The only think that you can do is change with them. You will need to analyze what works and hit it hard. Use Facebook Insights to reach your audience.
How To Use Facebook Insights To Reach Your Audience
Fundamental Insights
Facebook offers a powerful tool to allow fan page owners to understand what content is hot and some basic information on their fans.
There is a lot of information but the most important are Engagement, Reach, and Benchmarks.
Let’s take a look at your Facebook Insights and get you familiar with some of the key areas.
In your Facebook Fan Page click the Insights Link located at the top of the page.
Next, you will want to click on the Reach link. Here you will find a graph that will show you the stats on your post reach. You will want to take note of what your peaks are, and analyze why they are working better than other posts.
Reach can be frustrating because Facebook is in total control of who sees your posts. However, if you can produce great posts and have people engage with them, you will receive more organic reach.
Engagement on posts is crucial for higher organic reach. It is important for you to put most of your energy here. You will want to know what content people are engaging with. Once you have a clear vision of what is working and what is not working, you will be able to spend your time wisely.
Click on the Posts link and you will be redirected to a page that will provide your engagement stats. You will be able to see what posts have more post clicks, and more reactions, comments, and shares.
Change
One thing that is guaranteed is that there will always be change. I hope that you have been reading my posts for some time now. If you have, you already know the importance of having a blog. You are in control of your business, and Facebook is in charge of their business. Take control of your business and do not build on rented land. If you have not already, start a blog today.
We have no control of what Facebook does. The only option that you have is to use the tools available to help keep you in the game.
Build a blog, build your email list, keep learning, and always stay positive. Best of luck with your success.
