Good facebook posts … Is there such thing as a perfect Facebook post? … Probably not.

*I don’t want to focus on Thursdays because there’s just too much noise

*Try posting later in the evening, when people are off work & kids are in bed

*Post longer updates so readers click “See more” to get the rest of the story
