<\/p>\n

Organic reach - natural reach: is the number of people, both fans and non-fans, who see your post.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2013, a Facebook page could easily reach about 12% of fans with a single post.<\/p>\n

Is that the end of Organic Reach on social media?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don't think so.<\/p>\n

Although organic reach on social media has decreased over the years, I am optimistic that we can still maintain it.<\/p>\n

How?<\/h2>\n

How to (still) achieve organic reach on social media<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Understand and keep up to date with social media algorithms<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Organic reach on social media depends on its algorithms.<\/p>\n

The algorithm is always changing and improving to ensure that users see what they want to see the most.<\/p>\n

So how does each social media algorithm work?<\/p>\n

Facebook algorithm<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Facebook's algorithm includes four main components responsible for setting the content people see in News Feed: inventory (the 'empty spaces' on a website where ads can be placed), signals, predictions and relevance scores.<\/p>\n

In our in-depth analysis of how Facebook News Feed 2018 works, we realized that signals are what marketers and brands can focus on to increase organic reach.<\/p>\n

\"|\"<\/picture><\/figure>\n

You can get higher organic reach by posting content that is relevant to your target audience or creating meaningful interactions organically (e.g. Facebook Live), or by building a niche community through a Facebook Group.<\/p>\n

Instagram algorithm<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Instagram recently revealed three key factors that determine the posts users see in their Instagram feed:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Interest<\/strong>: Posts that Instagram thinks a person might be interested in will appear higher in the feed.<\/li>\n
  • Timeliness<\/strong>: New posts will tend to appear higher in the feed.<\/li>\n
  • Relationship<\/strong>: Posts from frequently engaged accounts will also tend to appear higher in the feed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    There are also three other factors that contribute to the ranking of Instagram posts, but to a smaller extent:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Frequency<\/strong>: Instagram aims to show the best posts since the last visit.<\/li>\n
    • Monitor<\/strong>: If you follow multiple accounts on Instagram, Instagram will try to show posts from multiple accounts rather than posts from a few accounts.<\/li>\n
    • Usage:<\/strong> Instagram tries to show the best posts first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \"|\"<\/picture><\/figure>\n

      Twitter algorithm<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      The Twitter timeline is mostly reverse chronological, it also uses an algorithm to show individual tweets it thinks you might be interested in.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • The tweet itself:<\/strong> recency, presence of media tags (images or videos), and overall engagement (including retweets, clicks, favorite videos, and reading time)<\/li>\n
      • Author of the tweet:<\/strong> past interactions with this author, the strength of the connection, and the origin of the relationship.<\/li>\n
      • Friend:<\/strong> tweets you've been interested in in the past, frequency and level of Twitter usage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Once given a relevance score, tweets are categorized into one of three sections on the timeline:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \u201cRanked tweets\u201d (recent related tweets)<\/li>\n
        • \u201cIn case you missed it\u201d (older related tweet)<\/li>\n
        • The remaining tweets are in reverse chronological order<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \"|\"<\/picture><\/figure>\n

          2. Fewer but better posts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          \u201cI can't compete with the giants, so I have to post less but do better,\u201d Bored Panda founder Tomas Bani\u0161auskas.<\/p>\n

          In 2016, an average of 17 million people visited Bored Panda each month.<\/p>\n

          Fewer but better posts.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          Even though competitors were hacking the Facebook algorithm, using clickbait, and growing their Facebook pages and websites, Bani\u0161auskas decided against that strategy.<\/p>\n

          According to NewsWhip, this made the Bored Panda Facebook page the most engaged Facebook page last October.<\/p>\n

          \"|\"<\/picture><\/figure>\n

          Using a similar \u201cless but better\u201d strategy, we managed to triple Facebook visits in 2017.<\/p>\n

          When we realized that our 100+ posts were reaching less than 2% of our Facebook fans, we cut our posting frequency by more than half and really just focused on sharing the best content we could find or create.<\/p>\n

          If you want to implement this strategy, here are a few things you can try:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Experiment with posting only one or two pieces of content per day<\/li>\n
          • Post only the best content you can find every day<\/li>\n
          • Never do clickbait<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            3. Select and edit user-generated content<\/strong><\/h3>\n

            From 2015 to 2016, our social media manager Brian Peters grew his Instagram following from 4,250 to over 21,000.<\/p>\n

            His secret?- User generated content.<\/h2>\n

            The easiest way to think about user-generated content is: \u201cbrands leverage the best user content on the web and showcase it on their own social media or other platforms and pay for it,\u201d says Brian.<\/p>\n

            This is the same strategy used by brands like REI, Birchbox, and Fedex.<\/p>\n

            Start hosting photo contests where customers can submit photos of your brand (or share them with your brand hashtag) to win prizes.<\/p>\n

            \"|\"<\/picture><\/figure>\n

            It can take a few weeks or even months of entering photo contests to build trend strength and get enough photos to repost.<\/p>\n

            You should contact the author to request permission to repost their photos to your profile before reposting them.<\/p>\n

            \"|\"<\/picture><\/figure>\n

            When resharing your photos, you should also clearly state information about the author.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Photo: @username<\/li>\n
            • Regram: @username<\/li>\n
            • ?: @username<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              4. Invest in groups<\/strong><\/h3>\n

              Imagine fans not only liking your posts, but proactively posting constructive thoughts and engaging in discussions on topics surrounding your brand?<\/p>\n

              That's what Vox did with their Weeds Facebook Group.<\/p>\n

              \"|\"<\/picture><\/figure>\n

              There has been a general trend towards being more relevant and active on Facebook- the largest social media network to \u201cgive people the power to build community and bring the world closer together\u201d.<\/p>\n

              And social media groups can become the leading channel for organic reach.<\/p>\n

              While it's uncertain whether Facebook Groups will increase organic reach, there is good evidence that they boost social media engagement.<\/p>\n

              P.s Here's another quick tip: Observe the news distribution and publishers' actions on social media.<\/p>\n

              5. Test new social media networks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

              Have you heard about Musically?<\/p>\n

              If you haven't, you, like me, haven't done your research before and we're not the only ones.<\/p>\n

              Besides the Big Six (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Snapchat), there are many emerging social media networks that are attracting attention around the world.<\/p>\n

              \"|\"<\/picture><\/figure>\n

              For example, Coca-Cola became the first brand to join the Musically platform when it launched a social media campaign.<\/p>\n

              \"|\"<\/picture><\/figure>\n

              Over the past year, we've also had some success sharing our blog posts to Flipboard.<\/p>\n

              All of this is not to say that you should create an account for your brand on Tik Tok or Flipboard right away.<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Vero \u2013 a free social media app and chronology<\/li>\n
              • Tik Tok (Douyin) \u2013 music video and social network platform<\/li>\n
              • Amino App \u2013 a network of unique communities<\/li>\n
              • Anchor \u2013 an audio social network and content distribution system about short audio tracks<\/li>\n
              • Flipboard \u2013 news aggregator and social network<\/li>\n
              • Medium \u2013 online publishing network<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                How to get organic reach?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

                I believe it is not the end of organic reach on social media (and I also realize I may be biased!) Many brands and organizations, such as publishers, are closely monitoring changes in social media and the emergence of new social media to adapt and increase organic reach.<\/p>\n

                So what are you doing to receive organic reach on social media and specifically your fanpage?<\/p>\n
