One thing that appeals to me about Facebook is that you can post other people's content from around the web, which means less work having to come up with your own content. But, where do you get your content for your facebook page?

Do you use some kind of content curation software? Do you go to Google and search the news for different keywords? What do YOU do?

Thanks for sharing

Curate content, put your keywords into a feed and then use your favourite feed reader. You can get a lot of curation software, I use a free one called Expresscurate as my blog is in Wordpress and it also has a Chrome log in so if I see an interesting piece I can curate directly from that site.

Thanks

Just make sure when you post some content on your Facebook page that it's relevant. You may find a way to put the content faster and more often but what's the point in putting it then? It takes time to update social media.

I like Feedly, where I can add my favourite blogs and then share new posts with my followers. I also read news sites, where I can get content too.

I still follow the old fashion of google alerts, I subscribe to some major blogs, and once I receive any breaking news I used to share it on my blog and then share in to my followers on Facebook!!
Also, I keep an eye to watch competitor's pages and how do they perform to improve my posts.

Thanks

Curate content, put your keywords into a feed and then use your favourite feed reader.

What is a feed reader, is that just the curation software you use?

I use a free one called Expresscurate as my blog is in Wordpress and it also has a Chrome log in so if I see an interesting piece I can curate directly from that site.

Is there something like that for firefox?

I like Feedly, where I can add my favourite blogs and then share new posts with my followers.

So Feedly will keep you up dated to new posts from your favorite blogs. That's cool.

I also read news sites, where I can get content too.

Do you use popular news sites, or are there like niche specific news site?

I still follow the old fashion of google alerts

I watched a few videos about Google alerts. I really like this one. Doesn't get any easier than having new related content delivered to your inbox daily by Google.

I subscribe to some major blogs, and once I receive any breaking news I used to share it on my blog and then share in to my followers on Facebook!!

Do you post it on your blog exactly the same way as you do on Facebook, or do you present it differently?

Thanks

I work updating clients' social media feeds for most of my day. It's best to mix up the content you are going to post, especially if you are a business/product page. Try to alternate posts that are educational (related artcles, quotes, did you knows?) and promotional posts. Make things interactive so your followers are more likely to join in on the conversation.

As far as researching for related articles, it's all about the keywords, and then add in the year for good measure, so you can be sure that what you're sharing is not only relevant, but also current.

When you try to post make sure your post is relevant to your fan page. Some times you can post funny stuff.

Yeah this is the way to go. I sit down and make maybe 5-10 posts up in a afternoon and spread them out thought the week.

Set up Google alerts around related keywords and have suitable content sent to your inbox every morning.
Use Feedly and populate with niche-related blogs/websites.
Like pages as your Facebook page and share content directly from your timeline.
Use Buzzsumo to keep track of the most shared content.
Use Canva or Pablo by Buffer to quickly create image content such as quotes.
Sign up for Buffer, Hootsuite or Sprout Social and spend a bit of time on a morning scheduling content for the day/week.

Thanks
