There is little doubt that content marketing is an efficient and valuable strategy when it comes to promoting your business. Posting a blog or article on your Facebook page is a good start, but you’ll be able to reach a much wider audience if other users and groups share the message on their pages as well.

Writing an interesting, in-depth, SEO-optimised article once a week or so is only the first part of the process. While creating great content is essential, making sure that it is shared in the right places should be one of your key marketing goals. It’s also the part that takes the most effort!

As a local Canberra business providing IT support and website development services, we’d like to highlight some useful strategies for getting your content shared online, with a particular focus on Facebook groups.

Checklist for creating content that others will want to share

Deliver high-value information –

We all have heard that content is king and this applies especially to Facebook groups. If the information on a group page is not high value and used, members will not hesitate to hit the unfollow button. Group admins strive to deliver quality material to users, and will only share posts with relevant, well-written content.

Solve a problem or answer a question –

Your content needs to be useful. If it explores ideas about solving a problem, it’s likely that other readers will relate to it and engage in online discussion. Try to focus your content so that it answers a question. Phrasing your text as FAQs is often a smart starting point.

Provide free information or advice –

Content that is sales-oriented can be a big turn-off to readers and page admins. Instead of selling, try teaching. Talk about pain points and how to fix them. These types of posts often get shared extensively because they are useful and relevant.

Establish your expertise –

It’s important to establish your authority as a subject matter expert so that readers know your advice is credible. Back up your content with appropriate links and data, and demonstrate how you are an industry leader. Admins of Facebook groups will be more likely to share your content if they see that you are a skilled professional with relevant expertise.

Focus on enduring value –

It takes hard work and effort to create a blog post, so it makes sense to write content that is evergreen. Making your content timeless means you’ll also be able to repurpose it on other social media platforms with little effort. You’ll be confident that if others reshare your content, it will remain relevant for some time.

Understand your audience –

A key to creating successful content is to understand your target audience – the users that will give it a like on Facebook or reshare it on their social media. A successful marketing strategy will have precise knowledge of the target audience, research the best ways to engage with them, and know how to deliver content that appeals.
