The best performing profiles

This May, Mic published the most successful post on Facebook UK. They’re a news and media brand aimed aimed at a younger audience. It was a video describing the new technology that allows a person to tattoo ‘sounds’ onto their skin. The comments section blew up with people sharing their thoughts on it, both positive and negative.

The second and third most successful posts were made by Channel 4 and Capital FM. Channel 4 shared a video about a girl being upfront about a condition she has while on a date. Capital FM also published a video comparing Beyonce’s dance routine to that of Mexican Breakfast, which are very, very similar.

 

Those are all interesting posts, but what can you take away from all this? Post more videos! That’s what people want to see, and that’s what they get engaged with. So try to produce or share your own video content on Facebook.
