Tips for Boosting Organic Reach on Facebook
The Facebook algorithm is a bit like trying to impress a cat. For an instant, you've got its attention, and then it just ignores you. For content creators and brands aliketrying to achieve greater visibility on Facebook organically, it is like a maddening game of hide-and-seek. So, if you're looking for tips for boosting organic reach on Facebook, welcome to your new playbook–written with equal measures of strategy, human psychology, and a dash of humor. Facebook, like any social network, is biased. It won't share your content simply because you published it. It shares your content because it believes that people will actually engage with it. That's why learning the algorithm isn't a choice—it's a must. Let's get started and take a look at the tips below. One of the best-kept secrets to greater organic reach is to write to communicate, not to post. And your Facebook page isn't a billboard; it's a dinner table. Instead of making one-way announcements, create discussions. Ask questions that actually elicit a response. Not forced 'What's your favorite day of the week?' but real, substantive questions that people will reply to. That could be light-hearted debates, behind-the- scenes, glimpses, or requesting real opinions on industry trends. Unless you're inviting a reply, the algorithm considers it unworthy of sharing. If you are a brand looking to enhance your organic reach on Facebook, you can visit TopTierSMM to learn more. Video is the most important content type. If you're still posting just images or text-only posts, it's time to catch up. Facebook adores videos—and native videos especially. If it's a quick tip, behind-the-scenes, or a bite-sized how-to, videos keep people engaged for longer. That dwell time is gold to the algorithm. Better still, going live here and there adds a live boost to your content. Live videos equal instant reaction, comments, and shares—all the algorithm's favorite things. Don't miss out on Reels;these bite-sized videos are taking over all the platforms, and Facebook is getting in on the act. The algorithm is pro-reels currently, which means you're going to appear in someone's feed by using them. And then there's timing, the reach's unspoken rule. It doesn't make a difference how post-genius you are if you're posting on Facebook when your crowd is sleeping or occupied. Your built-in Facebook Insights will inform you when your type of fan is awake. There's also general lore that midweek afternoons are a pretty safe bet, 1 to 3 PM, catching scrollers on lunch break. Then there's 7 to 9 PM, nighttime, when everyone's unwinding with their phones. Weekends are a crapshoot and will depend wildly on the kind of crowd you have. Experiment by yourself, see what results happen, and you're on your way to victory here. Repurposing isn't cheating— it's smarter. The majority of your viewers don't see everything that you've published. It was a winner six months ago; reuse it, give it a new look or a new design and post it again. Take a graphics post from the past and turn it into a mini video. Take a set of micro-posts and turn them into a one-stop guide. It's not recycling laziness— it's getting quality content in front of more eyeballs. Between the tips for boosting organic reach on Facebook, Stories are also underestimated too often. Right at the top of the screen, Stories are where you can take some precious space to make a quick impression. As they're temporary, lasting just 24 hours, the stakes are relatively low, so take a deep breath and loosen up. Use them to give a sneak peek, breaking news announcements, polls, or even to share a joke that isn't suited to your core feed. Consistency is preferable to bulk posting. Publishing between a few and five times a week is a benchmark. That will keep your page active and make sure Facebook knows that you are a regular content provider, and that will give you greater prominence later. Absolutely. Reels are treated preferentially by Facebook's algorithms presently and can expose your content to a significantly larger set of people. Stories, in turn, keep you top of mind through daily impressions and light engagement—all a perfect way to build relationships. You don't have to avoid links entirely; simply strategically place them. Facebook demotes posts that include outgoing links. To bypass that, put links into comments or accompany them with helpful native content that maintains engagement even if they do not click. Posts that start conversations work best. Experiment with asking questions, posting relatable stories, providing behind-the-scenes content, or anything else that encourages the user to comment, like, or share. Native videos and Lives also garner more engagement than static images or text posts. Yes, and you ought to. Repurposing excellent content into new formats—such as turning a popular quote into a Reel or carousel—can breathe new life into a page and bring it to those who first missed it. Just space it out and give it a new spin. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Civil rights leader Talbert Swan II claims racist threats from musician
SPRINGFIELD — Bishop Talbert W. Swan II is urging an entertainment company to take action over a string of racist messages he says he received from a musician it represents, Danny Wilde. Wilde, a 68-year-old white musician, performs as part of a Bon Jovi tribute tour under the management of AFM Entertainment. The incident began when Swan made a social media post about the fifth anniversary of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Swan said Wilde went off in a reply, invoking racist tropes about food stamps and Section 8 housing vouchers. Swan's post criticized those calling for the exoneration of Floyd's killer, former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin. MAGA followers have been calling for President Trump to do just that. Chauvin is serving a 22-year sentence for violating the constitutional rights of Floyd and, in a separate incident, of a 14-year-old child. On May 25, 2020, Floyd lost his life after Chauvin pressed his knee against Floyd's neck for nearly 10 minutes; Chauvin also choked and beat the child with a flashlight on Sept. 4, 2017. Through Facebook and Instagram messages in response to Swan's post, Wilde sent racially charged insults, threats of physical violence, and other offensive messages aimed at Swan's race, profession, and advocacy for justice. Wilde also demanded that Swan, a nationally known minister and president of the Greater Springfield National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 'make him a burger,' while threatening lawsuits and claiming he would 'snap (him) in half.' Swan said there were thousands of comments and hundreds of people that responded to his post. 'Being active and vocal against injustice triggers a lot of these racists,' he said. Although many responses are nasty, he said he does not expose everyone, only those who make physical threats against him. 'Danny Wilde felt emboldened to threaten me because I spoke out against injustice and condemned calls to pardon Derek Chauvin, the convicted murderer of George Floyd. That is the audacity of white supremacy in 2025,' Swan said. 'What I don't understand is why they don't think Black people have the right to voice their opinion,' he said. Wilde works for AFM Entertainment, a company in Michigan owned by Len Schmitzer that hires performers across the nation. Wilde's acts include Bon Jovi tribute performances, tying his public image to a legendary brand known for its mass appeal and diverse fan base, Swan said. 'AFM Entertainment must make clear whether it condones this kind of behavior from its artists,' Swan said. 'Any agency with integrity should sever ties immediately. Bon Jovi is a global icon whose music speaks to hope and unity. I find it hard to believe Jon Bon Jovi would stand by while someone using his name and likeness harasses Black clergy and spews racist vitriol from behind a keyboard,' he said. AFM Entertainment's owner, Len Schmitzer, said in a statement the company does not condone any type of racist or hate speech. 'I have not been shown any of the threatening messages in question, so I cannot comment on any of that directly, as I have no knowledge of what was said,' he said. 'This matter will be handled internally once we see the messages in question. But again, to be clear, AFM Entertainment fully condemns any sort of racist, hate or threatening speech.' Swan said he sent Wilde's messages directly to AFM Entertainment and Schmitzer before he released a statement to the media and as of Tuesday had not heard back. Over the past 30 years, Swan said he's faced many threats and attempts at censorship for speaking up about racism. While the messages were reported to Meta, owner of Facebook, Swan said Tuesday he hadn't received a response. Swan said Wilde's messages are part of a bigger problem of out of control white men attacking Black leaders online without facing consequences. 'This is not about one man. This is about a culture that emboldens racist violence — digital or physical — when Black people speak truth to power. It must be confronted and condemned at every level,' Swan said. Swan said he has taken precautions to safeguard himself, his church and his family. Despite the danger, Swan emphasized the importance of continuing to fight for social justice and racial equality. 'I believe in a higher power, protection and being prepared to deal with a threat,' Swan said. He said he has always felt compelled to do this work and that he wants to make the world a better place for his children and grandchildren. More now than ever, particularly with the Trump administration in office, Swan said he fears for what kind of world will be left to them. Swan called for unity among people of all races, colors and creeds. 'We need to learn how to set aside our differences and come together to fight for our collective best interests.' 'This isn't just about Black people. Although we're disproportionately affected, many different groups are affected by the wickedness of this administration,' he said.
