11. To increase your reach you have to play into Facebook’s newsfeed
algorithm, and you can do that two ways:
1. Post rich content like photos, videos, and links. Facebook gives
these higher value for newsfeeds.
2. Get people to engage with your content. The more often people
interact with your page, the more often Facebook will show
your content to them, thus increasing your reach. Your viral
reach will also increase because with every like, comment, or
share, meaning your page’s content shows up in more people’s
feeds.
12. Post tons of images. They get the most likes and shares. Photos
also get a lot of comments.
Make posts very short.
Posts with self-referential words, like ―I‖ and ―we‖ tend to get
more likes.
Don’t be neutral. Positive and negative or provocative posts
get more engagement.
Posts published on Saturdays and Sundays get more likes than
those posted during the week.
13. Content posted later in the day get more likes and shares —
likes peak around 8PM EST, while shares peak around 6PM EST.
Deliberate pacing gets more attention.
Do a ―Like‖ campaign.
Invest in Facebook ads.
Create memes — you can do it quickly on memegenerator.com
Publish infographics — your own, or others
Make a graphic out of information instead of just typing it in
the status update — simply overlay the info in big, bold text
over a relevant image
14. Publicize events and programs
Publish a chart or graph with data your fans and followers
would care about
Find cartoons about education — people love a laugh
Take behind-the-scenes pictures of your members and events
Share videos
Share tools & tips
16. Include a link! Tweets with links are more than twice as likely
to be retweeted.
Ask for retweets.
Place links about 25% of the way through the tweet.
Spread your tweets out throughout the day.
Tweets with more verbs, fewer nouns, are more heavily
retweeted and have a higher CTR.
Tweets posted on the weekend have higher CTR than those
posted during the rest of the week.
Tweets later in the day. Tweets posted in the afternoon and
evening have higher CTR than tweets posted in the morning.

Thousands of social media networks, from the all encompassing social networking sites (Facebook) to the more specialized sites, such as micro blogging networks like Twitter or video sharing sites like YouTube or photo sharing sites like flikr. There are even more niche networks, like networks just to share documents like slideshare, or just to get answers to questions you pose like Quora.
Account created around February 2010The best content to publish on Twitter is, obviously, shortand sweet. Whatever piece of content you’re linking to in thetweet, find the most compelling part of the story to include inyour tweet copy. Pulling a shocking data point from your blogpost, for example, is more likely to entice followers to retweetyour content and click the link in your tweet than the title ofyour blog post.
