How to Share Vacation Photos on Facebook

By Chris Gray Faust

Chris Around the World

Pre-Internet, few invitations were more tedious than ones soliciting you to look at vacation photos. Now Facebook ( www.facebook.com ) allows you to view your friends' trip pictures from a safe distance, without having to pretend that you're interested.

Sharing photos on Facebook still comes with social mores, however. Just because you have the ability to post blow-by-blow accounts of your family vacation doesn't mean that you should. As with anything involving social media, there's a point where voyeuristic glimpses into someone else's life stop being enjoyable -- and start becoming obnoxious.

So how do you know if you've crossed that line? The beauty of Facebook -- or most social media networks -- is that feedback is instantaneous. You'll know that you've gone too far when your friends stop "liking" your photos or when the posted comments have a noticeable undercurrent of hostility.

Don't let your Facebook feed get to that point. Here are a few tips on how to share your vacation photos effectively, without irritating your friends and family:

Less is more. It's always better to post one outstanding photo than a bunch of mediocre ones. Think of Facebook as a virtual cocktail party: Do you want to be the person who adds to the conversation? Or the one who drearily overshares?

Give some thought to what kind of pictures you post. Quirky shots work well on Facebook, as do photos that show something thought-provoking, unusual, or cute. Or elevate an average iPhone shot with an editing effects program such as Instagram ( http://instagr.am/ ). "It has to be a little bit special for you to post it on Facebook," says Shirine Saad ( www.shirinesaad.com ), a New York-based travel and fashion writer who has seen one too many inappropriate pictures. "You can't post too much. And don't post about everything you're eating."

Use privacy settings. Facebook's latest privacy tweak allows you select exactly who will see your uploads. Consider creating albums geared toward specific groups of friends. Grandparents may want to see multiple photos of baby's first trip to the beach, for example, while one could suffice for the rest of us.

Organize your photos. Illustrate your travels with just one or two photos on Facebook. But some destinations -- the more exotic, the better -- do deserve their own Facebook album. When creating an album, the rules above still apply: Choose only your most relevant photos and keep the album to a reasonable number. And try to add some context in your captions so people know what they're looking at.

Consider your reputation (present and future). Unless you've done a thorough job of subdividing your Facebook friends into unique privacy categories, think twice about putting up party pictures. You never know when that shot of you enjoying (legal) marijuana in an Amsterdam coffee house will come back to haunt you.

"Don't post drunken pictures," says Orlando-based flight attendant Diana O'Gilvie ( www.love2travelwrite.wordpress.com ). "You need to think about what kind of impression that people are going to get of you. Decide the kind of person you're going to portray."

Tag with caution. Likewise, think about your friends' privacy. Many people use Facebook as an extension of their business these days -- and you're not doing them a service by identifying them in that drunk destination wedding photo. Luckily, Facebook has made it a requirement now for tags to be approved before they go live. Hint: If your friends keep declining to be tagged in your photos , they aren't happy with the pictures you're posting.

Now Facebook Wants You To Share Where You’re “Traveling To”

Serendipitous meetups with friends while traveling make us happy and Facebook wants to be the portal to that joy. So this week it quietly rolled out a new feature that lets you share where you’re “traveling to”. Facebook’s Page mentioned it today, so I asked the company which said that after some testing, “traveling to” is now available to all users. It has big potential to bring Facebook valuable data on what’s important to us.

The “traveling to” option is found within the activity and emotion sharing smiley-face button on the Facebook status composer on both web and mobile. One you select it, you can choose a destination city, but not a departure and return time. Facebook will then append “traveling to Boston” with a little plane icon. Some destinations get their own special emoji, like a Statue Of Liberty for New York, or a Hollywood sign for Los Angeles.

(Note: I wouldn’t recommend sharing these posts publicly though, as you don’t want to advertise your absence from home for security reasons. It might be nice if Facebook warned people about that.)

Without “traveling to”, most us just end up posting “I’m coming to New York, who wants to hang out?”. But I’ve found I got little engagement with those posts. If users happen to check in at an airport, Facebook would ask where they were heading and show that in the post, but few people know about this and checking into airports just feels lame and braggadocious. Some people use third-party app like TripIt to share their itineraries.

All these options will probably see less usage now that there’s an easily accessible “traveling to” feature. And yes, Path has automatically done this for a while by auto-publishing when you appear in a new city. But as Facebook has proven over and over, it doesn’t care who did it first. It wants to do it at scale.

What’s puzzling about the feature is that Facebook confirms that sharing where you’re  “traveling to” won’t change anything else about how Facebook works. But it should.

When you’re in a different city, your Facebook should be different too. It should show you relevant stories from local friends and ads from nearby businesses instead of ones where you live, and let people know you’re in town so you can meet up. None of these happen right now…

…But I wouldn’t be surprised if they did soon. Facebook’s whole value to users and its business model depend on relevancy — knowing what you want to see. Explicitly telling it where you’re traveling to is an extremely strong signal that content from or about your destination is more important to you.

And for its own business as well as making the ads I have to see anyways more interesting, it should show me promos for local businesses where I’ve traveled to. Yes, most people hate ads no matter what, but I’d rather see one for a bagel shop in New York I could try out while I’m there than one back in San Francisco that I’ll forget about before I return. (Plus, SF bagels are a joke. Someone vacuum-seal and send me some from Manhattan, stat.)

A frequent complaint about Facebook is that it’s actually isolating. We sit at home reading News Feed instead of actually calling or visiting friends. “Traveling to” could let Facebook better fulfill its mission to connect us. After all, life on the move is a lot more fun when it’s not spent alone in hotel rooms.

Shopping cart items, 25 social media content ideas for travel.

On social media, the content you post is critical to engaging your audience and creating a solid fan base. Yet, many travel professionals struggle with knowing what to post. Whether you are wondering what to say on Twitter, Facebook, blogs or any other channel, here are some travel content ideas to help get the creative juices flowing:

I’ve said it many MANY times : travel is an experiential product and the best way to get people thinking about travel is to show them fun places to go and fun things they can do while they are there. If you can, share personal or client photos of destinations you want to sell. They don’t need to be professional shots and often work even better if you’re in the photo doing something silly! I’ve had many travel agents report that they sell at least one or two packages they wouldn’t have otherwise every time they post photos of a trip they took.

If you don’t have photos of your own,  Flickr  is a great spot to find amazing shots of every type of destination around the world. Do a quick search and link (don’t steal!) to particularly amazing photography that you think your audience would enjoy.

Videos are also a great way to inspire customers to travel and usually works even better than photos because of their interactive nature. Once again, you don’t always need a professionally shot video to attract attention. A home video of a particularly memorable moment, useful information (like the view of a new cruise ship cabin), fun activities or footage of a new resort will do the trick. Got a knack for humor or publicly humiliating yourself without worry? Great! Use it to your advantage when you create your videos. The funnier the better!For those who are a little camera shy, don’t despair!  YouTube  is a great resource for videos of all kinds.  With a little imagination you can search and find some pretty amazing clips.

3. Useful links

The latest traveler alerts, a list of recommended items to pack, articles about the hottest trends in travel – think about what would be useful for your readership to know and you’ve got some sharable content. This is your chance to show off your expertise as a travel professional and provide your potential customers with information that they may not find otherwise.

Not sure where to find this information? Blogs, news sites, and trade press have articles that can fit the bill. You can also use  Google Alerts  to monitor the web for articles on just about any topic.

4. Blog posts

This one should go without saying, but too many people don’t think about it. If you publish regular blog posts, PLEASE remember to post links to them on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc if you have accounts there. Most blog platforms will allow you to connect your blog to other social channels automatically if you have trouble remembering to post.

5. Destination fun facts

Everyone loves a good bit of trivia or little known facts! It’s entertaining, informative and can again help position you as an expert in your field. Many tourist boards and hotel properties have fun facts available through their marketing department. Just ask to see if they can help you out.  Otherwise, the web is always a good alternative!

Engage your audience by asking them questions about things like their favourite vacation spot, what type of perks they like to get from their agent, what makes their holiday a perfect one, etc. Get them talking to you AND use the opportunity to do a little behind-the-scenes market research to find out what you can do to win and keep their business.

7. Event announcements

Are you attending your local travel show or hosting a consumer evening? Let the world know where you will be and when! Invite your fan base to come see you.  You might be surprised by how many of them show up…and bring a friend!

8. Top 10 lists

Quick, useful and always a good way of giving quick recommendations on destinations to see, things to pack, attractions to visit and more. You can either compile your own top 10 or link to someone else’s. Bonus points if you create your own with photos or video!

9. Community work updates

People like to know that you care about your community.  If you or your team partake in community service or charitable work, share information like updates about your latest donation, photos of your team volunteering, or news about your favourite charity.

10. Contest announcements & updates

Contests are ALWAYS a popular thing. If you choose to run one, you can build anticipation and buzz by posting regular updates. Whether you talk about the prizes, highlight funny entries, countdown the days until the winner is announced or something else, you’re sure to get attention (and probably new followers/fans/readers) really quickly.

11. Travel updates

Here’s another great opportunity to showcase your expertise as a travel expert. Share updates about your favourite suppliers (new bathtubs in every cabin? Service upgrades at a resort? New designer bag with every purchase? Ok…maybe not the last one, but you get the point) or important travel updates about specific destinations (everything from new passport requirements to travel warnings).

12. Ship inspection information

If you are a cruise expert and visit ships while they are in port, by all means, share pictures and reviews with your fans.  They WANT to hear your expert advice to know which ships are worth sailing.

13. Fam trip reports

I know too many agencies who require these reports from staff and then stuff them in a folder where they will never be seen again. You are experiencing travel while on these Fam trips and NEED to share those experiences with your fan base. This can be in the shape of photos, videos or blog updates. It doesn’t really matter. Either way, tell them what you liked, didn’t like, recommend and find amazing. If you do a good job, you may get a booking or two out of the experience.

14. Client stories

Ever get an email from a client who tells you how GREAT their trip was or wants to let you know about something funny that happened? If so, ask for their permission to share it with everyone. It acts as a testimonial for you and can be entertaining all at once.

15. Answers to common questions

If there are travel questions you get regularly, use the opportunity to share the answer with a wider audience. It may even prompt your fan base to ask you more questions and start engaging. Again…show everyone that you know your stuff and the bookings will follow!

16. Opinions

If something is happening in the travel community and you have an opinion to share, you can use your social channel to do so.  However, I would caution you to think twice about being excessively controversial or political as it may turn some people away. Some controversy is ok, but too much can be hard to handle for some people.

17. Travel tips

These can be quick tips or longer blog posts about your recommendations. Just like the fun facts, top 10 lists, and other ideas listed here, they help position you are the expert that your are while being useful.

18. Behind-the-scenes updates

If your teams is planning an event or preparing something big, there is always interest in seeing you have fun behind-the-scenes.  Be creative here with photos, videos, stories and staff comments.

19. Favourite quotes

Inspiring travel quotes are fairly easy to find (Google to the rescue!) and quick to post. If you are out of inspiration for the day, a quick quote can keep the engagement going with minimal effort.

20. Staff picks

Get your whole team involved in recommending hotels, resorts, cruises, activities or whatever else you can think of. This can be really fun for everyone and helps showcase your agency as a whole.

21. Interviews

Think written or video interviews with people on your team, a destination representative, hotel partner, etc.

22. Funny Stories

Whether it’s a cartoon, a funny video, an anecdote or the joke of the week, humor always goes a long way!

23. Updates from the road

This is where you bring out your inner journalist.  If you have access to an internet connection or a smartphone while on the road travelling or attending events, you can provide live updates.  This works particularly well on Twitter or Facebook where updates can be quick and short. Blog posts take some thought, but you could still provide one update per day once you have a chance to slow down a bit in the evening.

24. Milestones

Did you just get a new specialist certification? Did your agency win an important award? Maybe you got featured in the local newspaper. It’s time to let everyone know so they can share in the joy and find out how fabulous you really are!

25. Travel deals

I saved this one for last because it seems like the most obvious choice, yet it’s not always the best one. Depending on your sales goals, you may not want to attract the bargain hunters looking for the best deal. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if deals are a good choice for you.

It’s not as hard as it may seem. Many of the ideas above are already available within your agency or on the web.  A simple Google search or using  Google Alerts  can help you stay in the loop and find interesting content quite easily and without gobbling up your precious time.

Now it’s your turn…

Have you had success with any of the ideas above? Or perhaps I’ve missed a few good ones that you’d like to share?

Facebook vacation photos, yay or nay?

I've created a new topic based on another topic I posted this week regarding the joy of anticipation. I'm not a big Facebook poster except when I'm on vacation. It all started by accident. I used to email my Mom a few vacation photos every day so she could follow along on my trip. When she finally got on Facebook (she's 89 now) I started posting on there instead. I've got quite a small group of friends on Facebook-at last count it was 56, and I'm not on Instagram or any other such social media site. This compares to the several hundred that my social-butterfly wife has. One day when I was posting my daily pics for my Mom's benefit, my wife asked me to tag her so her friends and family could see. The response was overwhelming (to an introvert like me). People loved the daily photos and so it's become a thing we do daily while away.

However on my other post it was suggested that posting vacation photos can be seen as bragging and people really don't care and are only being polite if the 'like' or 'comment'. It was also suggested that posting photos is more appropriate on a travel group on Facebook with like minded people. My thought is just the opposite, I love when my friends post vacation photos but I don't have that same emotional investment when I see strangers photos on a site like the RS Europe Travel Group FB site.

Thoughts? I don't want comments to go in the direction of boiling all the Instagrammers in oil for their mass posts. I'm focusing this more on your postings for friends and family. Do your friends care, just being polite, hate you for your wonderful life...?

Create a separate FB page for your vacation photos and then if people want to see them, they can. You can either invite your family that are interested or post a link to that page on your regular page. You can also make it private so that not everyone knows you are on vacation. I do that for my Camino walks. Not everyone wants to see them, but lots of my friends do. It is quite easy to post a few photos every day rather than a 100 after 2 weeks. People enjoy looking at just a few per day. When friends post 50 new photos I seldom look at them.

I post a few selected photos after a trip. 'They' say that posting travel on FB when your house is left empty is asking for trouble. That, however, isn't my reason to wait. I have a small group of Friends...less than you Allan...and few want to see daily updates. I do, however, use Instagram daily to let my kids know I am alive. Just like FB, you can restrict access to a few who are invited to share them. When used with restrictions, Instagram is a free, and pretty, way to do a trip report for those invited. I left my 'influencer' days behind with my kids left home.

I edit my photos after any trip and then upload them onto Google Photos (usually at least a week after I get back home). I only share the links with interested family and friends, and leave it to them whether they want to view them or not. I don't have time on vacation to edit and post photos. My days are very long and, by the time I get back to the hotel, it's pretty late (I usually eat dinner after 9pm for a few hours, and then walk afterwards). I don't get enough sleep on vacation "as is", so dealing with photos and email is not on the menu. The bigger picture is I cut my use of electronics almost completely (with the exception of a camera) while on vacation....my vacation is literally a vacation from normal life, including being glued to a laptop and being in constant contact with others. No one I know feels or wants to follow me on vacation, so I don't need to "post as I go", thankfully.

If I have time at the end of the day to post some of the day's highlights, I usually do. I have family at home that enjoys seeing what we're up to, and it serves as a reminder to me when they pop up in my memories the next year. I figure if any of my friends don't want to see the pictures, they can just scroll by, as I do with their posts that don't necessarily interest me.

Regarding the safety issue, my Facebook privacy settings are pretty tight, so it's only my friends and family who see my posts, and I'm not too worried about any of them taking advantage of my absence to rob me :)

Allan, I do the same as you. It started on my first long trip to Europe back in 2012. Every day I posted a photo with a short description of where it was to keep my family informed of where I was each day. I got a great response from many of my 'friends' so I kept doing it after I returned and have been doing it ever since. Nobody has ever indicated to me that they thought I was doing it in a bragging way. They all seem to appreciate travelling vicariously along with me. If they're not interested they just don't give a 'like' or 'comment' - I don't keep track of who does or doesn't, I don't really care. It's now become a way for my daughter to know all is well with me without calling me every day. If I don't post a photo she (and sometimes some others) will contact me to find out why, so it's kind of like a reverse 'wellness check'. I also post photos from my trips on a travel facebook group, and I post photos from my travels around the US on several different state's travel/nature groups. If photography is fun for you and you enjoy sharing your photos then I say "yay" on posting them on your facebook page.

I love looking at friends vacation photos, even if it is 25+ in one post. I prefer daily or every other day cause I feel like I am traveling with them. For example, we have friends who go to Carnival in Venice every year to photograph people and have even started dressing up themselves. I love her posts. Besides the beautiful costumes, I feel like I am there with them, especially when I recognize a corner or street. But Allen, I feel you and I are the same in that we like to hear about other people’s vacations and see their pictures when they return. Especially if it is someplace I want to go or have been. The same for reading trip reports here on the forum, I find them interesting and informative and sometimes down right funny.

Allan, I wonder, are your photos largely of sights, locations, scenic vistas, and places? Or is there a sizeable amount of selfies? Maybe some photos convey a different vibe than others.

If posting travel photos is what you enjoy, then do it. Others don’t have to look.

I enjoy looking at vacation pictures my friends post, especially when there are a few every day. I look forward to their daily postings and I am sorry when their trip is over that the pictures will be too. When I am on a trip I also post 4-6 pictures at the end of each day with a summary of what I did. They tend to get the most likes of anything I post, so I am thinking everyone doesn’t just like them to be polite. If people don’t want to see them, they can scroll on by like I do for countless political posts and other things. As far as bragging, is it bragging when people post pictures of their kids and the kids’ accomplishments? Their social activities? Their holiday decorations? I don’t think of those posts that way, so why should travel posts be any different? That’s my thought on it at least.

My wife does Facebook, but as a man I don't. She stopped posting vacation pictures a couple of years back. I'm not sure why but maybe she thought it was showing off a bit? It's true nobody else really cares at all.

Yes, I got trapped at a friend's house in the 90s with the old slide show. Ugh.

After a trip I post a subset of my photos on FB and place a larger number on my personal website for those friends who do a lot of traveling and want to see more. On either site, nobody has to look at them if they don’t want to. With regard to travel, there are those who say they’ll go, and go, and those who say they’d like to travel but never do. Then there are those who say they would travel but don’t have the money. I contend that if someone really wants to travel they can scrap up the money to do so, even if it takes a while to do so. For example, skip going out for dinner at times, buying lunch at work every day, buying that $5 cup of coffee (possibly multiple per day), smoking fewer cigarettes, or drinking less beer. My guess is that for many people an overseas trip every few years at most, is really a splurge.

I’d much rather see travel photos than all the inspirational sayings, religious passages, memes, and the “bet this can’t get 100 likes in X days” stuff that gets posted.

When I'm on vacation, I select my favorite photos of the day to post on Instagram (and cross-post to Facebook). If I have some extra time at the end of the day, I then photo-dump on FB. Most of my friends also love to travel and have commented that they love seeing my travel photos. Of course, I have a few who have expressed that they'd rather not see my travel photos, but as the majority of my friends do express interest, I just post away. I personally love seeing my friends' vacation photos and agree that I don't really get the same vibe browsing through FB or Instagram travel group photos.

I don't do FB, but wife does. I've asked her not to post pics while traveling, for security reasons, but she does anyway. I think FB is much less annoying way to show pics than having people sit through a "timeshare-style" presentation. FB is voluntary. I think "hate" is a strong word, but there are people who do think its bragging, and many who think foreign travel is a frivolous waste of money. others just aren't interested in foreign stuff. If they're friends, they've already made up their minds about you.

We do usually pick one photo of a trip out to use as a Christmas card - maybe that's bragging too.

I wouldn’t post any daily photos on any site whilst I was away as it’s far too easy these days for people to work out who you are and where you live. Posting each day advertises the fact that you are away and your house is unoccupied.

Jennifer, exactly! People like my wife say that none of their friends are thieves, but FB goes on and on, and friends have friends.

A few thoughts.....

I don't "do" Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any of the usual social networking sites, so use another solution to share holiday photos during my trips. I usually post a Daily Blog while travelling which includes a small number of photos to better illustrate the content of the Blog.

I didn't have a huge audience but there were a few relatives and close friends who really enjoyed having a look at what part of Europe I was in, and what I was doing each day. One of my very close (and now late) friends shared it with some of his relatives and they seemed to enjoy it also.

It was a bit of work to update each day, but not too onerous. I always take a few minutes in the evening when I'm back in the hotel room for the night and diarize each day's activities in a Word document. I then use excerpts from that to post in the Blog.

I'm not overly familiar with how Facebook works but if I did use it, I'd probably set up a separate section for holiday photos. That would keep it separate from the usual content and more focused on the trip for those that are interested.

I never communicate on FB that we are going to be traveling or that we are currently on a trip if both my husband and I are on the trip. But, in 2018, I took a 3-week solo itinerary to Italy to celebrate my retirement- fantastic time! A few close friends knew I was going. I decided to post a few photos from my first location - Stresa, on FB to visually show my friends why I wanted to return there. At the next location, I posted a few again with some short interesting tidbits I knew they would specifically like. I talked to my husband each evening on FaceTime, and he told me after that weekend that friends were telling him how much they loved the photos and short interesting highlights or humor comments and DON’T stop! I had told him I just planned to share those first two places, but from their requests, it morphed into a feeling that my friends were somewhat traveling with me! If I saw something of particular interest to a friend at home, I would add her in the comments.

When I’ve finished my solo trips, so many people reply in the comments for the final posting, “We had so much fun traveling “with” you!”

A couple of suggestions: Limit the selfies on FB travel photos; they already know what you look like! ; )

Less is more; no more than about 7 photos to keep it interesting. At the end of the day, if I had one minute to share, which photos are the most interesting? And keep it fun! A photo with humor goes over well with my FB friends.

Make it personal but relatable. I brought my mom’s small binoculars on my France trip in 2019. My rare selfie I shared on FB was me holding those binoculars with the Chartres Cathedral in the background. I shared how much Mom would have loved to see Europe but never did. This item of hers was very meaningful to be there with me; several other friends’ mothers have passed away, too, so they could easily relate.

Try to benefit the FB audience. I showed a photo of my open suitcase to share how packing very light is possible. I shared an obscure “wow moment” in a museum with a snippet of history, or a few photos from a cooking class, etc.

My husband & I realize that we’re able to take more trips than some of our friends, so we purposely do not share photos from Hawaii trips, etc. so that it doesn’t become a FB bragging, i.e. “those people get to travel so often”.

I only post a few pictures from places that are relatively unusual-like the Balkans-and only after we've returned home. My FB friends pretty much all post a few photos of their trips, so I don't feel that I'm bragging.

I love looking at my friends' vacation photos, and I love it when my vacation photos pop up as "memories" of the before time.

Only my FB friends can see my posts, so I'm not too worried about my home security.

For the record nobody has ever told me that they don't like my photos or that I'm bragging. Quite honestly, if something that they could easily scroll by makes them angry then they have bigger issues.

Cyn, our Facebook travel photo entries has become a cookie cutter submission. As I mentioned in the original post, I was emailing my Mom photos every day. Usually just scenic photos of where we were. One day she emailed back and asked me if we were really there because I was never in the photo. So from that day on I'd take a selfie of my wife and I and include that as the first photo in the email with the tile "Good Morning from....". When she graduated to Facebook, we posted the same way; a selfie of the two us us, a Good morning from..., then 4 or 5 additional photos and then a very quick summary of what the photos are of.

I enjoy the 'likes' and comments we get back because while I'm excited about a certain thing we've seen, often I get a surprise of what interests others. It's a way to get to know new things about our friends. It's the same reason I post on this forum-to get the different opinions on the same topic. No right or wrong, just different.

People enjoy looking at just a few per day. When friends post 50 new photos I seldom look at them.

Jo described it exactly as I feel.

I also like what you just said, Allan:

I enjoy the 'likes' and comments we get back because while I'm excited about a certain thing we've seen, often I get a surprise of what interests others. It's a way to get to know new things about our friends.

I think, who cares? Those who want to look will look. That being said, I am thinking of switching over to my one photo a day to be on my Instagram so people can choose whether to look at them or not, rather than have FB's algorithms decide. I know my family wants them and my close friends enjoy them.

I enjoy seeing other people's photos on a 'as is happening' basis. I travel vicariously when I can't travel in person.

I don‘t post while I am on the trip. I usually do daily photos after I get back, 1-4 per day. I then enjoy them as they show up on my feed in the years to come.

Allan, It’s great that you’ve got a variety of photos. Someone who knows you, and family members, can certainly appreciate a shot with you and/or your wife in it! That also makes an ideal introduction to each day’s new pictures. Although with some people I notice, clearly fellow tourists, who appear to be taking one shot after another, carefully posing with their body and head contorted into various positions, as if on some kind of modeling assignment, seem to be all about their self portraits. For them, your Mom might say to them, “I know it’s you, but how do I know you went or say anyplace?”

I have to remind myself that if that’s how they want to spend their vacation, fine, and I have places to go and things to see and do, so I’ll leave it to them and their selfies.

Ok, I’ll bite and maybe be sorry later. :) I am with Wray - who cares? Basically if my FB friends think I am bragging, I really don’t need to be friends with them. I have no grandchildren, nor prospects of any, and no way would I think my friends posting their photos of their grandchildren are bragging. I DO, however, have friends who tell me how “brave” they think I am for traveling solo — and if I can encourage someone to travel, alone or with someone, that is a win in my opinion. Sometimes I don’t post till later if no one will be home. But I have a daughter who also lives here and 2 neighbors watching the house so that is rarely an issue. I just had a look and I have 491 friends but I know every one of them for real. I grew up with them, go/have gone to church with them, am related to them, have worked with them as young singers. So I am not terribly worried about the security, either - just cautious in general. It makes me remember the time my parents’ TVs were stolen from the house while they were at church. Yes, the culprit knew they would be at church and for how long because they always were. So you can’t exactly escape from that entirely.

As for selfies? My opinion is in process of changing. While I don’t think much of people interrupting others for their selfies or hogging views, I am in the process of digitizing 40 years worth of old photo albums for my 4 girls (and some for my younger brothers). And the photos they and I am enjoying the most are the ones with people in them. I might have a photo of a gorgeous waterfall that they won’t look twice at and I may not remember where it was, but put me in front of it in the next picture and they think it is the best thing ever. Those might not be important photos for friends right now; but for later generations, those selfies may become priceless memories. And yes, my 92 year old mother loves seeing me in the picture, too. 😂

If your friends are international travelers they probably like to click through the photos; if not, well, you can figure it out. Nobody will tell you you're bragging, but intuitively you might be able to connect the dots.

Post a pic of your Mercedes S-Class. Not that much different. The polite reaction: "We're really proud of you and your success."

The Average Joe and Jane Blow aren't spending a week in Paris. Myrtle Beach, maybe.

It would have been brave to travel to Europe in 1943 or 1781. Not exactly 2005 in Afghanistan, although they did have a nice coffee booth in Kabul.

I post on Fb sparingly, perhaps the highlights of the day and try to include things that will amuse people...of course the photos from the past years are now haunting me when they pop up in the memory feature 🙄

I post a few vacation photos each day to Facebook and then a lot more on Instagram, I have a lot fewer followers on Instagram. FB gets the highlights, the best 5 or so of the day.

I think it’s complete rubbish and an urban legend that people will rob you if they know you’re on vacation. So, I could care less about that aspect.

I have an account on the photo sharing site Flickr. My practice during and after my last 3 major trips was: I put 30 pictures from my trip on my Flicker page. I did not post anything on any site while away from home. My mother and one Aunt, who are both phobic of travel and both have never taken an airplane flight and refuse to fly, both really like seeing me show them my pictures and narrating what is in each one and retelling my trip, as if they wish to vicariously experience my trip as a way to compensate for part of their brains wishing they could travel too. But I show and tell them in person. As for my Facebook account, I post few or no pictures, because the Facebook shrinks them or won't save them full sized. I do post a summary of my trip and directions to howto view my pictures on Flickr. A few family members other than my one aunt and my mom, have a vague interest in my travel. Most of my 78 family members and acquaintances in my Facebook friend list, won't care. I don't pay attention to whether others care about what I post to facebook. As long as you don't post personal insults or something grossly directly offensive to specific people, you should be fine, you don't need to pay attention to whether others care about your trip or about anything you post. As for "bragging", you are entitled to brag if the topic is true and if communicating it is not meant to communicate that you think you are intellectually or morally better than others for not taking your trip or not having or doing whatever you are boasting about; everything you say about yourself can be interpretation at bragging. Who cares? At least you are not one of the people polluting the Facebook with insults, memes, and garbage related to bashing presidents and politicians.

Just my opinion: It seems to me that if someone is actually your friend, they would be happy for you. If someone thinks you are bragging or somehow is insulted, then so be it.

I agree with Travelmom and honestly, people's travel photos are among the least offensive things being posted on FB.

I am in the process of digitizing 40 years worth of old photo albums for my 4 girls (and some for my younger brothers). And the photos they and I am enjoying the most are the ones with people in them. I might have a photo of a gorgeous waterfall that they won’t look twice at and I may not remember where it was, but put me in front of it in the next picture and they think it is the best thing ever. Those might not be important photos for friends right now; but for later generations, those selfies may become priceless memories.

What a good point. I never thought of it that way, but you're right. I have so few photos of me and my wife as kids so it's a real treat when we come across something. Now that I think of it, when we look at vacation photos from 20 years ago when my kids were still young and cute, we do focus on the kids first and the location 2nd. It used to be the other way around.

I post photos on FB, but don't put the faces of my travel companions in them unless they say it's ok. A few years ago I started writing a sort of "Observations" trip report every few days while I was away. Not about all the sites I've been to, but about the funny things I observe every day in a foreign country, such as peculiar people, odd food, strange happenings. People loved it, and I won a contest on another forum with one of the Reports. We can't travel now of course, so no more trip writings. However, a couple of weeks ago, I had a total knee replacement, and wrote about it as if it was a trip. People liked it.

Lol, Mike. I didn’t say I thought it was brave to travel. I said I have less-traveled friends who do. All I can do to correct that mis-perception is to keep traveling and let them see, if they choose to.

Travelmom, I was not as articulate as I had hoped to be.

My Hot Wife, Mary, reminded me that we DID have a good time at the aforementioned slideshow.

We were all drinking, laughing, and just being silly. If I'm in the right mood I would actually enjoy someone else's sideshow. Admittedly, envy might set in!

Diane: "Rubbish." That is a seldom used but appropriate word that needs to make a comeback. It's not profane but makes a powerful point if used with discretion.

And I agree with the rest of you post.

Nay. Post very few pictures to Facebook, because Facebook automatically shrinks all pictures down to a certain file size.

Select a few pictures and post them on a photo sharing site, after your trip. Facebook is fine for a summary of your trip. Post it only after you return home.

Jennifer i totally agree, i never post while i am away as it broadcasts to the whole world your house is empty. Also understand that some insurance companies wont pay out if you have made it so obvious you are away. I might post a small select album of 10 - 15 images when i get home. Never look at the huge albums people post on a daily basis as I also find them very boring.

caro are you from Guernsey? I'm thinking about retiring to one of the channel islands.

A Google search offers plenty of advice about not posting vacation photos while on vacation to protect your home , but no evidence or statistics that it's actually a problem. I went through plenty of police and insurance websites that are full of opinions only. Most comments are that burglaries are crimes of opportunity by unprofessional crooks who look for empty houses, so make sure lights are on, neighbour's know you're away, etc.

Jennifer i totally agree, i never post while i am away as it broadcasts to the whole world your house is empty.

Not necessarily true. I might be away on vacation, that doesn't mean that other family members aren't still at home, or that a pet-sitter or house-sitter may not be there.

I think you're more likely to have your house burgled while away at church, school, a wedding, or a funeral. Burglars who plan usually watch the papers for events like this, or they may case a likely victim to watch for patterns. Those who break in when the opportunity presents itself are not likely to watch facebook for possible vacationers.

I agree with whoever said upthread that it's more an urban legend than anything that has reliable statistics to prove it's common.

I also don't worry a lot myself because I'm an apartment dweller and don't have a lot of enticing objects that would lure a would-be thief. Maybe I'd worry more if I had a house that looked like it might be a good target.

If some one with bad intentions is with in youf local area and sees your holiday photos, it wont take long to check if there is a house sitter or not, though i dont know any one who uses a house sitter or pet sitter. Maybe that is more popular the other side of the pond? Urban legend or not, surely its just silly to risk it and any way the last thing i want to do on holiday is waste time on social media. My phone is off! I want to relax🤗

I post on my own blog that is available to whoever cares enough to ask to be included. That usually only includes my family and close friends who already know I’m traveling. I don’t really have an opinion on why someone else posts, it’s totally their decision and what they are most comfortable with doing. I don’t worry about thieves. If that’s going to happen, it could conceivably happen while I am at the grocery store, I suppose.

If you have the highest privacy level set for your FB page (which everyone should) only your FB “friends” can see what you post on your FB page (ie your photos). If you “friend” anyone and everyone on your FB page, and one of those “friends” is a burglar and they know where you live, then yes, do not post holiday photos. No one can find out your address from FB if you have the highest privacy level set. I am very selective about who I “friend” on FB so I post holiday photos and my friends do the same - and we all love seeing each other’s photos. Your FB page can be as private or as public as you want it to be, it is up to you.

Thanks Susan. That's what I always thought, but not being a tech expert, I wasn't sure enough to tell others.

You were right Wray!

Not to beat the horse any further, but the problem is people your FB friends might un-intentionally share the information with in conversation, not your FB friends themselves.

Well, let’s hope your FB friend doesn’t give your address to a burglar.

I don’t believe the “danger” argument of posting. First off the thief needs to see the post, then figure out where you leave, then be close enough to bother going there, then you could have friends or family staying at your place to take care of it. So a lot of work with little gains. Easier for the thief to just drive around until he seas something interesting. Also other indicators may give you away such as not putting out junk cans or stopping the mail or something sitting out on the parch to long etc.

As for posting I just include one or two showing where we are. Usually with my father in them. But not always. This keeps my family in the loop on where we are, they tend to do the same in their trips

I guess this post is now in the same territory as the other opinionated topics;

• Moneybelt, yes or no?
• Passport with you or in your hotel room?
• Travel Insurance necessary?
• Traveller or Tourist?
• Cruises evil or not?
• Tours or on your own?
• Dress like a local or yourself?

I guess this post is now in the same territory as the other opinionated topics

I guess that's what happens when you ask people for their 'thoughts' or 'opinions'. :)

I am confused. If the OP didn’t want opinions then what was he expecting us to go onto out Facebook and social medial accounts and take a survey? From the initial post it was obvious this thread was going yo go into personal opinions. I am not a mind reader I can’t tell you what my friends and relatives think . And if I did it would be a bit irrelevant as I have a LOT of friends and family that do a LOT of traveling so sometimes out posts look like a travel blog. It was equally obvious this topic would take a tour through things like is is morally right to post travel it is bragging to do so or showing off, it is safe to do so and the other usual questions that come up on similar topics....

I've known our neighbors for decades, but yes, they could report our absence to a burglar!

Whatever I do our neighbors will quickly figure out we're gone. I can have the lights switching on and off like a disco but that doesn't full anybody.

If you're not home and there isn't someone staying at your home, it will soon become obvious nobody is there.

I am confused. If the OP didn’t want opinions then what was he expecting us to go onto out Facebook and social medial accounts and take a survey?

I didn't realize I was coming across as complaining about opinions. My intention was to state the obvious, that now we have another topic to put on the list of topics that will never lead to a consensus.

I love seeing friends/family vacation photos on Facebook. About 20 years ago a friend went to Tunisia and she showed me a few photos from her trip (long before Facebook etc). I truly wanted to see all of them, but she was trying to not bore me. At least with Facebook you can scroll on past if you are not interested, but if you are then you can travel vicariously.

I keep my accounts very private and small, but still am usually cautious about posting while we are away. I do not hesitate when our kids come and house/dog sit for us as someone is obviously here.

How to Use Facebook Fundraising for My Mission Trip

Facebook provides a simple platform to create and share fundraisers for all types of causes. Have you ever considered Facebook’s fundraising platform for your mission trip travel costs? You definitely can use it for that! In this post, here’s what you will learn about using Facebook to raise money for your mission trip:

• What to know before you start Facebook fundraising
• How to create a Facebook fundraiser for mission trips
• Tips for creating successful Facebook fundraisers

9 Things to Know About Facebook Fundraising Before You Start

1. there are two types of facebook fundraisers.

You can create two types of Facebook fundraisers: nonprofit fundraisers or personal fundraisers. These differ in who receives donations and who pays the processing fees.

Nonprofit fundraisers go directly to support an organization. Facebook covers the processing fees for these donations.

Personal fundraisers can benefit any cause within Facebook’s approved categories: crisis relief, faith, medical, volunteering, etc. Because fundraising your own mission trip cost does not directly fund a church, ministry, or organization, your fundraiser would fall under this category. Donations to personal fundraisers get charged processing fees.  

2. You must be at least 18 to make a Facebook fundraiser

Although you only need to be 13 to create a Facebook account, you must be at least 18 to create a personal fundraiser on Facebook.  

3. Facebook charges fees for personal fundraisers

Facebook covers the processing fees for fundraisers that support nonprofits–but not singular causes. Mission trip travel costs would be considered a personal fundraiser, which means your donations are subject to fees and applicable taxes for each contribution. In the United States, the total charges are 2.60% + 0.30 USD per donation. If you live outside the US, see the complete list of countries to calculate your total processing fees.

(Source: Facebook Help Center)

4. Facebook fundraisers are public

“Public” means anyone can see your fundraisers–even if you’re not Facebook friends. Having an open fundraiser means more people have the potential to see your cause and donate.  

5. Only people with a Facebook account can donate

If you want to fundraise your mission trip costs fully, you may need to venture beyond a Facebook fundraiser, since only those with an account can give through it.  

6. Donations through Facebook are not tax-deductible (typically)

Facebook clearly states they don’t provide tax advice, but donations made through a personal fundraiser are generally not tax-deductible . If you try to use “tax-deductible” as an encouragement for people to donate, it likely won’t apply for donations made through a personal fundraiser on Facebook.  

7. Only select countries can create or donate through a Facebook fundraiser

Those living in the United States can make donations on Facebook and organize charitable fundraisers. If you’re outside the US, make sure your home country supports Facebook fundraising.

Read More: Which countries can use Facebook fundraising?  

8. Facebook fundraisers cannot bribe donors to donate

Facebook makes it clear that organizers cannot bribe people to donate. Bribery includes donating to enter a giveaway or donating to receive a product or service. Organizers can only give donors something of nominal value, such as a handwritten thank you card, in exchange for a contribution.

Read More: The complete Personal Fundraiser Policies for Facebook.  

9. Facebook stores payment data, unless changed in privacy settings

Anyone interested in donating through Facebook should know that Facebook automatically stores payment information for future online transactions. However, you can change this in your privacy settings immediately after donating. Although Facebook provides encryption for payment processing, donors can take extra security precautions by connecting a PayPal account rather than giving a credit card directly.  

How do I start Facebook fundraising for a mission trip?

  Facebook allows two types of fundraisers: those for charitable nonprofits and those for personal causes. Here are the steps to create your fundraiser on Facebook for an upcoming mission trip.   Step 1: Click the “Fundraisers” icon on the left-side panel from the Facebook home screen.

Step 2: Click the “Raise Money” green button on the left-side panel.

Step 3: Select “Yourself” as who you’re raising money for.

Step 4: Fill out the basic details for your fundraiser

• Choose “Faith” as the category, as this is for a mission trip
• Select your home country for where you’re raising money
• Set your fundraising goal
• Choose an end date for your fundraiser

  Step 5: Title your fundraiser and write a description for it

Step 6: Add a cover photo

Step 7: Click “Create” to finish making your fundraiser. (You can edit details later.)  

How to Receive Payout for Facebook Fundraisers

  Don’t forget to set up how you’ll receive your donations! You need to add a valid bank account to your fundraiser after you create it. Facebook issues payments six days after someone makes a donation, which means you’ll receive money while your fundraiser is still active. Your bank may take an additional 1-5 business days to deposit the amount in your account. If you have issues receiving payments, Facebook provides this troubleshooting form .  

3 Pro Tips for Successful Facebook Fundraisers

1. calculate total processing fees before setting a fundraising goal.

Most organizers forget about processing fees for online fundraisers until the end. If you calculate them from the beginning and account for them in your fundraising goal, you won’t be scrambling to make up the fiscal difference.  

2. Create a 30-day fundraiser

Joseph Hogue, the author of Step-by-Step Crowdfunding , recommends capping an online fundraiser at 30 days. Thirty days marks the perfect time frame to drive urgency in people to donate. If people see that an online fundraiser only has a few weeks left to donate, they’re more likely to give before the deadline hits.  

3. Celebrate fundraising milestones

Did you raise your first $100? Are you halfway toward your goal? Supporters want to see your progress! Make sure you write updates whenever you cross a major milestone. Updates can create engagement, build excitement, and prompt donors to share them on their own pages–which might attract more supporters!  

➡ Don’t forget to the price of travel insurance in your fundraising goal!

How to Write a Facebook Post: 23 Tips to Master

Add your email and get this blog post sent to your inbox as a FREE ebook

Want to know what to write when posting to Facebook?

Need some good examples?

Let me guess: you're struggling to connect with your FB audience, right?

You’re not alone!

It’s tough to figure out what “works” given the vast diversity of posts on Facebook.

You have to know your niche (and the audience WITHIN that niche you want to target).

In other words, what works for your Facebook page may not work for mine, and vice versa.

So you need to test to see what gets the most engagement from YOUR particular fans.

But what happens when you’re out of ideas to test? Use these tips!

We've broken up these 23 tips into 4 parts, so feel free to skip to the section that you're most interested in:

Part 1: How to plan and schedule Facebook posts

Part 2: how to write and create an attractive facebook post.

• Part 3: What to add to your Facebook post

Part 4: Facebook post ideas that never fail

How do i maximize facebook post engagement.

(Want to increase your Facebook engagement? Step up your Facebook marketing with your FREE Post Planner account today!)

These tips are all about setting a foundation for your Facebook posts .

Because you don't want to start posting without a PLAN.

1. Determine your target audience 

Who do you want to see and engage with your Facebook post?

Think about this very carefully, because everything you do from this point forward should take your target audience into consideration.

• What is their demographic?
• What are their interests?
• What are their problems and obstacles?
• What are their goals?

It's a good exercise to list and map out your answers to these questions BEFORE creating content.

This will give you a Facebook content strategy with a NEVER-ENDING supply of post ideas.

2. Post at the ideal frequency

Did you know that each social media platform has its own “culture”?

Users who have multiple platforms tend to behave slightly differently on each one.

That includes WHEN and how often they post.

When it comes to your Facebook posts, stay in the "Goldilocks zone" of post frequency.

You don't want to post too little, and you also DON'T want to spam either.

In other words, Facebook is NOT Twitter.

Posting 5X a DAY is typical on Twitter.

Posting that often on Facebook is probably too much.

Experts suggest you post on Facebook once a day (or around 5x a week ).

BUT make sure to focus on QUALITY over quantity.  Your content needs to stand out for the right reasons.

3. Balance promotional, entertaining, and educational posts

The average person sees 6,000 to 10,000 ads EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Most of those ads get blocked off by our attention wall .

With this in mind, make sure you're balancing your promotional posts with other types of Facebook content .

The last thing you want is for your followers to see your page as one big ad.

If that happens, your engagement rate will inevitably suffer.

So note this: People are on Facebook to experience things they ENJOY, be entertained, and connect with friends and family.

Your Facebook posts should give your fans VALUE first and opportunities to buy second!

4. Use your brand tone consistently

Your brand tone is the underlying voice/vibe your audience gets from your Facebook posts.

Brand tones come in MANY different styles.

But YOURS should come down to what resonates with your target audience - combined with your personality.

Here's an example:

A company selling men’s razors will have a different brand tone than one selling women's razors.

Because they're relating to DIFFERENT demographics.

• Languages spoken

You can also peek into your comment section to see what words, phrases, or slang your audience typically uses.

All of these can be incorporated into the brand tone of your Facebook posts!

Here are 2 examples of different brand tones from Kylie Cosmetics and Gym Shark:

5. Schedule your posts at the perfect time

Feel overwhelmed at the thought of coming up with unique Facebook posts EVERY day?

I’d feel that way, too!

But writing Facebook posts doesn't have to be a stressful, daily whirlwind.

Creating them in advance saves you TONS of time.

It gives you time to think your post through (and even enjoy the creative process).

Post Planner has everything you need to automate your  Facebook posts EASY, including:

• Cross-platform scheduling tools
• Bulk post scheduling
• A massive content library
• Content editing tools
• AI content tools

You can use Post Planner to browse through HUNDREDS of Facebook post ideas .

Watch the Post Planner demo video here! (The video will open in a new tab.)

Post Planner even lets you save the ones you like for resharing and inspiration!

So, if you want to save time by planning your content ahead of time (like you should), then schedule your Facebook posts !

You can use that time to reply to comments and DMs!

Now that you know how to plan your Facebook posts, it’s time to figure out how to get people to PAY ATTENTION.

6. Structure your post

Sure, it's okay to quickly jot down your post idea in your drafts.

But don't recklessly create a post without thinking about how to design it perfectly for Facebook AND your audience.

For any post, there are essentially 3 parts:

• The hook - This is what people will first see when they consume your content and grab their attention.
• The body - This is the part of the posts that delivers the value after they're hooked.
• The conclusion and call-to-action - This is the next step someone should take after reading your post.

Your hook is arguably the most important part of your post because it'll be what gets your followers invested in your content.

One of my favorite ways to hook readers is to hint at a problem they experience that my post will solve for them.

7. Veer towards short posts

A Facebook news feed is like a crowded and loud subway train for your followers.

So it makes sense that most skim through posts and won't take a second look at long captions.

That's why I recommend you keep your Facebook posts in an 80-160 character range.

Aim to be short, sweet, and to the point. Make your words efficient while still impactful.

8. Have a clear (and concise) message

Shorter posts are much more likely to deliver a clear message.

Clear Facebook posts avoid the following:

• Unnecessary tangents
• Wordy sentences
• Bad grammar

Clear, readable messages open your posts up for higher engagement potential!

9. Provide valuable information

Valuable information is essential when it comes to Facebook posts.

If you're a coach, educator, or consultant, valuable info can position you as an authority on the subject you're talking about!

Here’s an example from fundraising expert John Haydon:

Then, package that info into an entertaining or visually pleasing post.

The result?

Viewers sharing your post with their friends!

10. Be positive

People tend to engage and share more often with positive posts.

Motivational, inspirational, and funny posts always get the most shares on Facebook.

Sure, people might agree with your negative sentiments.

But they’ll hold back the Likes, comments, and shares because they don't want to be perceived negatively.

So if you want engagement up, stay positive!

11. Use emotional words

Emotional words create connection.

They grab attention and keep people reading.

Using the right words is even more critical when keeping your posts short.

Here’s an example from Whole Foods that makes my mouth water:

Y ou can use a thesaurus to expand your vocabulary.

But you can also explore Post Planner’s content streams to find viral posts in your niche.

Most likely, those posts are viral because they’re using the right words.

12. Make your Facebook post VISUAL

Facebook rolled out a great feature a couple of years back that lets you turn your regular text post into a graphic.

You can do this with just a few clicks.

Simply select the colorful box icon at the bottom of your Facebook post box and choose the background you like best.

Facebook post backgrounds are ideal for short posts.

The enhanced visual is a scroll-stopping tactic you CAN'T forget to use.

Consider adding your caption idea to the image

I recommend posting an image 70-80% of the time.

Historically speaking, photos carry the most weight in the Edgerank algorithm on Facebook.

PLUS, people are more likely to share image posts.

You still need to adhere to the other tips that I mentioned above (stay positive, keep it short, use emotional words, etc.).

But using images is an indispensable engagement-boosting practice.

Here’s an example of what an image post can look like from Kim Garst :

13. Use emojis for emphasis and to keep attention

Emojis are another creative way to spice up your Facebook posts since they:

• Draw attention
• Help space out your sentences
• Are relatable

Use relevant emojis in your posts to guide the reader's eyes to read the words next to the emoji.

As with all great things, DON'T overuse emojis.

1 to 2 emojis per post is a reasonable limit.

14. Understand the Facebook algorithm

The Facebook algorithm scores posts based on " edges ," aka Likes and comments (comments hold the most value).

The more engagement a post has, the more the algorithm sees it as valuable enough to push out to more people.

On the other hand, it discards posts a user probably isn’t going to engage with and demotes content people don't care for.

That’s why posting during peak hours is essential for engagement.

Publishing Facebook posts when users are more likely to see them will cause your engagement to go up.

The algorithm notices that increase in engagement and boosts your posts.

Like all other social media sites, Facebook wants its users to stay on the platform for as long as possible.

So it ranks posts based on what the user sees as valuable!

Do you now see why creating valuable content is king?

You should also note that the Facebook algorithm varies content types on the Facebook newsfeed.

So it'll balance out images, text posts, videos, and live streams as the user scrolls through, prioritizing topics that interest the user.

That said, vary the types of content you post.

As users Like, comment, and share your page and posts, your page and posts become more visible.

So creating incentives for people to engage with your page is HUGE.

The Facebook algorithm also takes how recent your post is into account, prioritizing new posts over old ones.

Part 3: What to add to your Facebook post (what to include)

Writing out captions for your Facebook posts is where you get to REALLY have fun.

Here are some tips to keep in mind:

15. Add a call-to-action at the end

Your Facebook posts should range from informational and logical to funny and laid-back.

Across genres, you should let your fans know what actions you want them to take next.

In other words, strategically end your posts with a call-to-action (CTA).

Maybe it's to show up for a webinar you're hosting, a live stream you're running, or a product pre-order.

Whatever the case, CTAs should make your audience’s next steps CLEAR.

Here are some fun examples from Shark Tank’s Lori Grenier:

Like Lori’s example, your CTA can just be for engagement.

I often use "Click Like if you agree and comment if you don't" (or something to that effect.)

If you'd like some other CTA ideas, check out the Facebook ads library !

Y ou can gain some helpful ideas from advertisers, which you can implement into your own Facebook page posts.

But remember:

Your users want to see MORE than just promotional CTAs.

Even if your end goal is to sell more of your product, your tactics should include MORE than just constant promos.

16. Use storytelling 

I know, I know, earlier I said to "keep your posts short."

This is true MOST OF THE TIME.

But there are occasions to toss in a long post.

This is your chance to tell a compelling story that resonates with your audience.

Maybe it's funny, motivational, strange, or downright scary.

Continue to incorporate expressive words and add value.

And even though you’re extending the caption a bit, you still want to keep your message clear.

If you’re going to go long, make every word count!

17. Start or end posts with a question

Questions are the bait for engagement!

But don't ALWAYS ask open-ended questions.

Sometimes giving people an easy choice of answers will result in MORE comments and engagement!

And sometimes you can do BOTH (like in this example):

Try the fantastic "Questions" category in Post Planner's Status Ideas Engine !

18. Share a link

If you're asking people to do something with a CTA, then make sure to provide a link where you want them to go (site, app, etc.).

Below is an example from the TabSite App:

PRO TIP: Make sure your links WORK (and aren't too long).

Bitly is nice, but you can use a custom link shortener like short.io to create a clean and branded short link!

Even though we just gave you all the tips you need to make captivating Facebook posts, we get it - thinking of ideas is still hard.

So here are 5 popular post formats to get your creative juices flowing!

19. Write a post on a topic your fans care about

If I ask you what your favorite TV show is, I bet you'll have more than just a few words to say about it!

Because you care about it!

When writing great Facebook posts, you want to write about a subject your audience enjoys!

I'll give you an example:

Say Company Y's audience is adult women and their Facebook post is about finding the perfect clothing size.

They can compare having the wrong size to being as annoying as having split ends.

When you talk about topics your audience likes/knows/experiences (directly or indirectly), they start to see you as relatable!

20. Align your post with the time of day

Some of your posts will perform better at certain times of the day.

For example, posting a motivational quote early in the morning is just what people need when trying to drag themselves out of bed.

If your message and posting time are harmonious, you'll likely see solid impressions, Likes, comments, and shares !

21. Share a tiered number list

No matter what subject/niche you're knowledgeable about, you can compact that knowledge into a tiered number list.

Some examples would be:

• "Top 10 home decor ideas for Fall"
• "Top 6 productivity apps for entrepreneurs"
• "The 8 BEST bodyweight exercises"

Think of what topic you can condense into a list and write it as a Facebook post!

Tiered number lists are very skimmable and direct, which is perfect for users who don’t have time to read a dissertation on your Facebook page.

22. Talk about personal experiences

Sometimes your Facebook posts can be about your personal experiences.

You can share hopes, struggles, and victories you’ve experienced as a brand owner.

Opening up is a great way to show your audience the human side of your brand.

Since we all experience adversity, your fans will likely be able to relate to you.

23. Call out a demographic

Here's an underrated one. Sometimes your Facebook post will be speaking to a specific demographic.

One of the best ways to get their attention is to call them out.

For example, a restaurant chain opening a new location in Atlanta can say: "Calling all residents in the Atlanta area!"

Using this as the first line piques the interest of those in Atlanta.

This can be applied to all kinds of posts, like images and videos as well.

The more specific you are, the more likely you’ll be able to connect with your TARGET audience!

To maximize Facebook engagement, you have to post quality content at the right time!

The most successful social media marketers understand the power of content and use processes that make posting easy!

Look at your current analytics and adopt a Facebook post scheduling tool to see how your engagement changes over time.

BUT maximizing post engagement still doesn't end there.

Facebook has plenty of tools you can use to get even MORE out of your posts.

For example, Facebook has a "Boost" feature that allows you to promote your post to a larger targeted audience.

This feature is ideal for increasing engagement and acquiring new followers (not necessarily for selling a product).

3 Final takeaways about what to write when posting a picture on Facebook

Whether posting on your personal or brand Facebook page, keep these 3 takeaways in mind:

• Craft posts that your followers and fans enjoy by sharing value in a digestible way.
• Use analytics to understand how changing your approach impacts engagement.
• Good content + a good number of impressions + right audience = ENGAGEMENT and GROWTH.

Find viral Facebook content and schedule it at PEAK times to maximize impressions!

In My Own Words: Dr. Wieland’s trip to Honduras

From March 3 to March 9, 2024, myself, Dr. McDonald, Dr. Liam Duffy, an otolaryngology chief resident, and a group from our Division of Otolaryngology traveled to Hospital Vincent D’Antoni in La Ceiba, Honduras. During our trip, we provided clinical care and training to people in Honduras.

In collaboration with Dr. Rigoberto Tabora and the staff of the Hospital Vincent D’Antoni of La Ceiba, Honduras, our team, which had members from the University of Wisconsin, the University of Nebraska, and the University of Chicago, provided care to approximately 200 Hondurans from the region. Dr. Mike McDonald has led this trip and collaboration over the last 20 years. Throughout the years, this trip has expanded to providing audiology screening and hearing aid distribution as well as medical and surgical care for otolaryngology illnesses.

As a part of our trip, we trained local individuals on the performance of basic audiograms and the fitting and distribution of hearing aids. In addition, we assisted in training a local provider in ear cleaning using an office-based microscope. We also collaborated with a local high school for interpreter services and for training on the use of audiometers and hearing aid fitting. This group of students and faculty will continue to provide hearing screening and hearing aid distribution throughout the year.

We are grateful for the collaboration with Dr. Rigoberto Tabora, who screens patients prior to our trip and assists with their post-operative management.

Dr. Aaron Wieland is an Associate Professor in the Division of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.

The Long Island doctor who was fatally thrown out of her family’s Airstream should never have been in the RV while it was in motion, the manufacturer says.

Dr. Monika Woroniecka, 58, was not following Airstream’s guidance when she was hurled out of the door of the moving trailer and onto State Route 12E in upstate New York around 3 p.m. Saturday, the company said.

“Airstream travel trailers are not designed to carry passengers while in motion,” the company said in a statement.

“The safety protocol detailed in Airstream’s operating manuals and shared on Airstream’s website advises owners that they cannot tow an Airstream with people inside,” the statement continued.

“Many states prohibit carrying passengers in a travel trailer or fifth wheel, and we advise owners to consult their state’s Department of Motor Vehicles for up-to-date regulations.”

It also is illegal in New York to tow passengers in a “house coach trailer” while it is hitched to a vehicle and on the road.

The mother of three was traveling to Cape Vincent with her family to watch the eclipse when the freak accident occurred,  a neighbor told The Post on Monday.

Horrified witnesses later said they saw the side door of the RV open and Woroniecka’s arm hanging out as she tried to pull it closed.

“My husband saw them right before they left. He happened to talk to them, and [Woroniecka’s husband] Robert [said] they were going up with their daughter to see the total eclipse,” the neighbor, who identified herself only by her first name, Maria, explained through tears.

Just a few moments before the accident, Woroniecka and her daughter Helena were riding with Robert in the family’s 2019 Ford pickup truck, which Robert was driving with the Airstream attached in tow.

They had stopped for ice cream and were just about 20 minutes from their AirBnB when Woroniecka and Helena decided to ride the rest of the journey in the 2024 model RV.

“According to Helena’s accounts, she was lying on the bed located in the rear of the camper,” state police Sgt. Jack Keller said. “Helena recalls that her mother was trying to secure the passenger side door of the camper and subsequently gets thrown from the Airstream.”

Woroniecka struck her head on the road median, police explained.

She was pronounced dead at Samaritan Medical Center.

Woroniecka was born in Poland, and worked as a pediatric allergist and immunologist at Stony Brook Medicine,  her online profile said .

“They moved here about four, five years ago,” neighbor Maria told The Post of the family. “They just brought the Airstream two months ago. [Woroniecka] was so sweet. Really nice person — really nice.”

Woroniecka and her husband have three adult daughters, Maria said.

One of them lives in Virginia, while another is studying to be a doctor in Arizona and was set to get married this summer.

The third daughter is enrolled at Juilliard, the neighbor told The Post.

Tim Cook has arrived in Vietnam for a two-day trip, as Apple boosts ties with its key manufacturing hub

• The Apple CEO has arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam to meet with Apple suppliers and content creators.
• The company has also announced plans to increase spending on suppliers in the country.
• Vietnamese manufacturing has been important for Apple as it moves away from dependence on China.

Tim Cook has arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam, to start a two-day trip to one of Apple's top manufacturing hubs.

During his visit, he's set to meet with content creators, app developers, and students to learn about how they use Apple products, according to local media.

Apple also plans to boost its ties with local suppliers during the trip as well as help fund clean water projects and education opportunities, local newspaper VietnamNet wrote.

In a post on X , the Apple CEO shared a photo of himself drinking egg coffee with two Vietnamese musicians. In another post, he shared his visit to a workshop where creators were using Apple products to create and share their artwork.

Apple also announced plans to increase spending on suppliers in Vietnam.

Since 2019, the company has spent nearly 400 trillion Vietnamese dong ($16 billion) through its supply chains in Vietnam and has more than doubled its annual spending in the country over the same period, the company said in a statement on its Vietnamese website.

The statement added that Apple supports the jobs of 200,000 people in Vietnam through direct employment, via suppliers, and as app developers.

In 2020, major Apple supplier Foxconn moved its iPad and MacBook assembly to Vietnam from China at the request of Apple as it attempted to minimize the impacts of US-China trade tensions.

A couple of years later, Foxconn faced issues with Chinese smartphone makers trying to poach their talent in Vietnam , attracting them with higher salaries.

Apple has faced a recent blow as iPhone shipments fell nearly 10% in the first quarter of 2024, as global smartphone shipments increased.
