3) Post photos

Photos evoke emotion and grab attention. They generate the highest interaction rate, above status updates, video, music & links. When you post a question or status update, post it with a photo.

4) Ask for a comments and "likes"

Call for actions on Facebook pages actually works. Don't be afraid to ask for likes, comments, and shares. People will respond.

5) Be long-winded

Did you know that page interaction goes up with longer status updates?Â Don't feel like you have to limit your update to the 140 characters, like on Twitter.

6) Post more frequently

Since not all followers will see every post, posting more frequently will catch the eye of more followers. Half of those who are going to click on your link or update will have done so within the first hour of posting. The other half will interact during the next 9 hours. Keep an eye on your unsubscribe rates to find the "sweet spot" for your page's ideal number of posts.
