2. Get Your Fans, Followers, and Staff to Share Your Content

This will trigger the content as "engaging" to Facebook and give you a chance to get it in front of more people.
3. Find & Join Relevant Facebook Groups
With this shift to their newsfeed, Facebook groups will become your wheelhouse. This is where you can reach users looking for exactly the type of content that you are posting for your audience. So either find a group or form a group and start posting quality content in there!
