If you’re like most people, you probably post updates and thoughts on Facebook every day. But if you’re a business owner or individual, you might want to consider adding a reaction to your posts in order to engage and attract more followers and customers. Here are four tips on how to do this:

  1. Start by thinking about what type of reaction you would like your post to have. Are you looking for a positive reaction? Try using verbs such as “I’m glad” or “Thank you.” If you’re looking for a negative reaction, try using verbs such as “You’re not welcome.”
  2. Make sure your post is well-written and easy to read. Make sure your grammar is correct and that your words are clear.
  3. Use keywords in your post so people can easily find it when they search for similar topics on Facebook. For example, if you’re writing about marketing, use terms such as “marketing,” “advertising,” or “consumer behavior.”
  4. Share your post with other Facebook friends and family members so they can see how they can improve their own posts too!

Social media has a tendency to twist words and their meanings. Online, words such as “Friend”, “Follow”, and “Like” all mean subtly different things to what they mean offline. If someone posts about their granny dying do you ignore the post? Like it out of sympathy? Comment? Well now Facebook has gone somewhat towards fixing this by adding a series of different reactions.

You can react to any Facebook post with Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad, Angry, and occasional situational reactions for things like Halloween, Mother’s Day, and Pride (which you can see in the screenshot below). These make it a lot easier for you to show your true feelings about whatever your friends are sharing.

On the website, to use a reaction hover your cursor over the Like button. A fly out will appear with all the available reactions.

Select the on you want.

And now you’ve reacted to the post.

On mobile, you need to long press to get the flyout to appear, then slide your finger over to the reaction you want.

If you want to un-react, just click or tap on your reaction.

Facebook’s reactions are one of their better new features. Now you can respond at least somewhat appropriately when someone announces they’ve just lost their three best friends in a freak gas fight accident.
