53 Things To Post On Your Facebook Page

During my interview with Guy Kawasaki for edSocialMedia he mentioned that ” the ‘whole world’ isn’t on Facebook” and that he needed a website, in addition to a Facebook page, to maximize the marketing impact for his new book, Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions. While I completely understand Guy’s position, as of November 2020 there were 2.7 billion people on Facebook and as a result, a Facebook page for your school is a necessity.

Once you’ve created your Facebook page it becomes a blank canvas and the issue of what to post for your school can become a bit intimidating. In order to help you overcome your fear of things to post on your Facebook page, I’ve created a list of 53 things to post on your Facebook page for your school.

I would like our Fans to think of our Facebook Page as a resource for local information and current events.

1. Post school news reported in the local newspaper
2. Post local news related to the community
3. Post local current events
