Do not be afraid to share old GOOD content.
If you have been on social media for a while now, you already know what your audience loves.
It’s possible that you have a content series or content theme that continues to perform well each time each piece is posted. That same top content is worth sharing again since it could also help you boost engagement.
Google Analytics is a tool you can use to get a better understanding of how content and traffic works. You’ll get an idea of which topics are interesting to your followers, so you can share them again.

Build your own community via Facebook Groups.
Facebook lets you connect with more users through its Groups option.
You can engage more effectively with your community if they are all in one group. It also makes tasks easier for you because you can get feedback on upcoming projects, ask questions, or even share content in just a few clicks.
Groups can be created within your current Facebook account. To the left of your newsfeed, just click on “Create Group.” Later, you can tweak the settings to make your Group secret, public, or closed — depending on the kind of community engagement you want. Additional admins can be selected to help you manage your group.
You can create groups for customers, distributors from different ranks, consultants who qualified for certain promotions, and much more. The possibilities are endless.
