Tips
Posts that look more visually tidier (e.g. posts that don't contain link text) are more likely to be visited or viewed
Warning
- Be careful not to upload content that is not yours. Usually, it doesn't matter if you just send a video link or post that you didn't create yourself. However, uploading a copy of the same content, without inserting a link to the original creator or uploader of the post is not a good thing.
- Make sure the links you share comply with Facebook's terms of use.
