Increasing engagement
More than just a caption for Facebook, we believe that the most important thing to drive engagement is making sure that the picture accompanying the Facebook caption is incredibly compelling. Let’s be honest a picture tells 1000 words! So why settle for substandard pics when your words are on point?
For us, the only way to ensure we have a stand-out, cracking shot is to use Adobe Lightroom Presets. Think of these as your photo editing game-changer; taking a good picture and making it GREAT by just using a solid preset. Check out some of these that we would highly recommend. Continuous use of the presets also helps your Facebook account (or page, or Insta) look consistent and premium.
Facebook Frequently Asked Questions
What should I write in my Facebook bio?
First impressions last! Make sure you write a short but sweet introduction to your Facebook profile.
We suggest including a smart quote or song lyrics, trying to make it a little funny and perhaps even bragging a little.
How do I optimize my Facebook profile?
Understand your own ‘voice’ and make sure you use it: write in your own tone, pick a photograph that represents you as your profile picture. Make sure to upload a corresponding header photo.
Check your privacy settings so that only those who need to see your activity, can see it. Remember to also check your list of trusted applications so that your information is safe.
What should I use for my Facebook cover photo?
Pick something that represents you but also that matches the tones and edit in your profile picture. According to Facebook, your cover photo is 820 pixels wide by 312 pixels tall on computers and 640 pixels wide by 360 pixels tall on mobile. Our advice is to crop it to 820px by 360px in a photo editing tool like Microsoft Picture Editor, but making sure the key information and graphics are in the ‘middle’ of the photograph.
