Marketing on Facebook can be a tricky thing, but there are a few things that you can perfect before you post to make sure that you get maximum attention and interest. One of those things is the headline, which is the first thing that they will see, and therefore one of the most important for grabbing their attention and making sure that they take any further action.
A lot of research has been done into this, unsurprisingly, and the results have finally come in. There are some phrases that just work and go that extra mile – such as “will make you”, “this is why”, and “the reason is”.
Doubtless you have seen these over and over again while enjoying your own personal Facebook feed, and well.. now you know why. Marketers use these all the time because they simply grab people’s attention.
Of course, you might feel that you want to be a little more original than that, and if you’re posting a lot, you’ll definitely want to add some variety into your headlines; it is the spice of life, after all. While those three headlines remain the most popular, there are others which can do the job as well – though they are not necessarily as devastatingly effective.
Other very successful headlines include “only x in”, “the reason is”, “are freaking out”, “x stunning photos”, “tears of joy”, “is what happens”, “makes you cry”, “gives you goosebumps”, “talking about it”, “is too cute”, “is shocked to see”, “melt your heart”, “x things only”, “can’t stop laughing”, “top x songs”, “twitter reacts to”, and the virtually infamous “what happened next”.
This is pretty much the most definitive list yet – and one that we all know incredibly well. Save your copy and start taking advantage of it right now!
