Tips For Better Facebook Posts
- Your Facebook images should be good quality, so make sure your sizing and format are geared to that, with images at least 1200 x 630 pixels.
- Ask a question to prompt engagement. If you post a stunning landscape, for example, ask if anyone has visited or what their dream destination is.
- Keep it simple – try not to over-complicate your post. Let your image speak for itself where possible.
- Use interesting and visually appealing layouts, like a flat lay.
