    2. <\/strong>Make the length of the update as short as possible:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Short and crisp posts give you a better response from people than long posts. Engagement levels do vary a lot for the short posts as well, but research shows that posts with less than 100 characters catch the user\u2019s eyes more than the longer ones and there\u2019s a better chance that the audience will engage with the page.<\/p>\n

    3. <\/strong>Identify the time where the engagement is highest<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It is important to identify the ideal time to engage with the fans of your page; to ensure that the engagement levels remain high. A study by bit.ly shows that engagement levels are the highest between 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

    According to socialexaminer.com, links posted between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. get the highest click-through rates<\/strong>, with Wednesday, 3:00 p.m., being the best time to post in all week. Links posted before 8:00 a.m. and after 8:00 p.m. are less likely to get shared.<\/p>\n

    According to a study done by Buddy Media, engagement rates are 18% higher on Thursdays and Fridays\u00a0than other days of the week.<\/p>\n

    4. <\/strong>Post pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n
