Should I be using 140 characters like on Twitter? or should it be long sentencing?

Please help me clarify?

Merv

What I have noticed works really well is writing a full article that is interesting and has valuable content with a link to your offer or product making sure you include an interesting image that goes with your article and offer!

People come to FB to connect and be entertained so make the article as fun and entertaining as you possibly can starting with the image to pull the people in to click on your information!

I believe length doesn't matter, as long as your posts are relevant, informational, and valuable. I also agree with @Noorani with adding images. They catch people's eyes first. If the image is interesting, and of course related to the content, your post would be all the more engaging, which is what matters.

Length is does not matter in facebook if content get enough information. It can be more than 140 words this is not a problem.

Videos get way more eyeballs than enticing images... not to mention, Facebook loves videos. If you post an engaging video (e.g., a How-To Video?) Not only will you get leads... you'll get all the engagement too. However, if you're trying to make sales that's a whole nother conversation.

Good luck!

I read on the Buffer blog that link posts with 40 characters of text get the most engagement on FB.
It was a pretty in-depth post. I don't have the link to hand but google it. I'm sure you'll find it.
