ORGANIC SOCIAL GROWTH HACKING:FREE EXPOSURE ON FACEBOOK
with Wes McQuillen
None of this matters without being consistent
and persistent.
WHAT IS ORGANIC REACH?
It's when people see what you post without having pay Facebook to show it to them, determined by the algorithm.
It involves getting more Likes, Comments, Shares, RSVPs to your events, and Followers.
WHAT IS THE ALGORITHM?
Facebook mostly has one objective – keeping you on their platform as long as possible, so they can get as much data about you as possible to serve you as many paid ads as possible.
Based on what you type, click on, and engage with, it’s constantly updating a digital dossier on what it thinks will get you to stay longer.
BUT I THOUGHT ALL MY FANS / FRIENDSSEE WHAT I POST?
Competing with 65 million other business pages
3 PERCENT OR FEWER will see your average post unless you pay to boost it, or unless it gets high engagement
WHO IS YOUR TARGET?
Define who your ideal fan/customer is:
• How old are they?• Where do they live?• Work?• What do they do for fun?• B2B - same thing, define a target company
