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.
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.
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
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

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.
