Step #2. Pin Your Post: Pin your best post or pin your welcome page. This means you can make one of your posts static. That way every person who visits your page will see the same first post. It’s simple. Once you create a post, right-click on the post, there you will see your options. Click on pin post and you’re set.
Step#3: Post relevant, timely information. So now you will want to start building your brand by posting relevant information.You can post images, posters, inspiration, or engaging content. But remember images and videos are viewed many more times than content. Today is the era of entertainment.
Additionally, experts recommend posting at least 1-2- pieces of content daily. Try to upload enough content to keep your page from looking vacant, abandon, or empty. No one wants to be the first person at the party.
Lastly, make certain your content, photos, and images are fun, informative, and engaging. Share the best information possible. Be helpful, informative, answer questions, and openly address criticism.
