How to Make a Facebook Post Shareable

Facebook allows users to share posts with their friends, groups, and communities, but not all posts are automatically shareable. If you want your content to reach a wider audience, you need to adjust your post’s privacy settings. By setting your post to “Public”, you enable others to share it beyond your immediate friends list. Facebook also offers features like text backgrounds to make posts more engaging and noticeable. Whether you’re sharing personal updates, business content, or viral trends, ensuring your post is shareable helps maximize its reach.

Steps to Make Your Post Shareable

Let’s see how to make a Facebook post shareable.

Steps to Make Your Post Shareable
Steps to Make Your Post Shareable
  1. Click on the ‘What’s on your mind’ section at the top of your profile or feed page.
  2. Enter your content and get it ready to share.
  3. Before you click on Share, you have to select Privacy. 
  4. You can find the privacy settings of your post under your name. There is a box that says ‘Public’ or ‘Friends.’
  5. Click on the box and select who can view your post.
  6. Set your default settings and select ‘Public’ to make your post shareable. If the adjustment was already showing ‘Public,’ then your posts should already be shareable. 

Now that you have selected ‘Public,’ everyone will see and share your post. For your future posts, you can adjust the Privacy from the Settings in your profile. To do that, follow the steps below:

  6. Click on ‘Edit’ next to that option and adjust it to ‘Public’ to make your posts shareable by everyone.

How to Do it on Mobile

It is possible to make a Facebook post shareable from Mobile as well. It is very easy and contains pretty much the same steps as before. In case of any problem, you contact Facebook Support.

  1. Open the Facebook app and enter your content in the ‘What’s on your mind’ section.
  2. Then, under your username, you will see two buttons that say ‘Friends or Public’ and ‘Album.’
  3. If the first button contains the ‘Public’ text, your post would already be shareable. Yet, if it isn’t, make it shareable by switching it to ‘Public.’

Bonus: Tips to Make Your Posts More Visible

Now that you have learned how to make your posts shareable, it is important to know how to make them visible. If you want your posts to be shared, you probably want them to be seen by as many people as possible. That is why we give you tips on how to increase reach and engagement on Facebook.

Posting Time

One of the most important things is posting at the right time. If you want to reach as many people as possible, you have to do it when your audience would possibly be on Facebook. As for general, this is after 6 or 7 pm on weekdays. Everyone would be at home, and it is most likely the best time to take a look at Facebook.

Another good time for weekdays is noon. When people eat their lunch at work, they try to relax before turning back to work. Saturday night is not a good time for posting for weekends because most people usually have a plan for Saturday nights. Sunday morning wouldn’t be such a good time either. However, all day time except morning time would be good for posting on Sundays.

Visibility

To grab attention on Facebook, your posts need to be visually appealing. Adding a background to text posts or including relevant images can significantly boost engagement. Eye-catching visuals make your content stand out as users scroll. Additionally, profiles with a large following naturally gain more visibility and shares.

Keep it Simple

Especially when you are writing a text, try to keep it simple by keeping it short. If you can’t write short, add as many paragraphs as possible to get a cleaner look for your text. Avoid using complicated sentences. Keep the sentences short and understandable. It is a social media platform, after all. No one would be interested in reading a text similar to an academic article.

Frequently Asked Questions About

To remove the Share button from your posts, follow the same instructions in this article, but when selecting who can see your posts in Privacy, select the ‘Friends’ option instead.

Go to the search bar on the top of the page, write something related to your post, and then click on search. Then select ‘Posts’ from the next page. When on the ‘Posts’ page, click on the ‘Posts From You’ button from the left menu. Now you can see who liked, shared, and commented on your posts.

Go to your Profile Photo and once you open the photo, click on Edit. Then click on the box that says ‘Public.’ Turn it into ‘Friends,’ and people shouldn’t be able to share it from now on.

Facebook now supports its users with the ability to create surveys and polls. Go to your profile, and on the update status box, you’ll see the feature.

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook and works and shares information with Facebook and other companies owned by Facebook.
