Increase Shares, Comments & Likes on Facebook
Facebook has taken the world by storm. It has not only impacted the lives of individuals, but the workings of an organization, business and company have also evolved. It has particularly effected the conventional advertising spectrums and pushed the boundaries.
No wonder ‘social media’ is a force to reckon with and many companies are tilting towards adopting friendly social media marketing tactics. Share a picture, video or post and receive instant ‘likes,’ ‘comments,’ and ‘shares’ on it. Reaching out to millions of people was never as easy before the advent of Facebook and other such networking websites.
However, with the increasing popularity of social media, it has become more and more difficult to get noticed and make returns on your social media investment. Free exposure has taken a backseat and a lot of people have turned to paid social advertisements. In this guide we will show you how to increase shares, comments & likes on Facebook using a few proven techniques and tips.

1
Post useful & interesting content
The first rule to get more likes and shares is to post useful and interesting content. Don't fill up your page with unnecessary posts or think spamming your fans is the way to go. You need to give them something they can benefit from, whether it is a piece of information or entertaining content. -
2
Focus on different time zones
A big mistake people make is to post content only during their own day-time or when they are available. They forget that everyone uses Facebook on different times, especially people from other countries, because they are on different time zones.
You can either take some time to post content to sync with most time zones or use an automated post scheduler to publish content 24 hours, throughout the day. -

Controversial topics and questions
The best way to get comments on Facebook is to post content on controversial topics or ask open-ended questions which can create a debate among users. Your job is to initiate the debate, not take sides or be biased. Just give your fans something to comment on, something that is current and relevant to your page or brand's theme. -

Pictures & Videos
If you are not using images, pictures or videos on your page you will have a hard time pulling views and consequently getting engagement like shares, likes and comments.
The content landscape has changed a lot over the past year or two and everyone is moving towards harnessing the power of visual content.
There are lots of tools you can use to create attractive and appealing visuals within minutes, which means your competition is likely to be already using them. If you ignore visual content you'll be left behind. -

Run contests
Contests are hot on Facebook, especially if the winning prize is worth it. You can easily get lots of comments, shares and likes if you start an interesting contest or game which requires people to bring in their friends or make sure their own posts get a certain number of likes.
