Pro Tips for Releasing your video to Facebook
A few tips for releasing your video to Facebook:
– When to release: If you don’t know the best time to release your video – a general rule is to post between 1 – 3pm on Thursday and Friday. At Visionary, we use CoSchedule’s article below to help us estimate the best times to post on social media:

– Ask your staff to share: If at all possible, once you’ve posted the video to your company’s page, have as many people as possible (especially your own staff!) share it to their network. This can be done by simply navigating to the video on your company’s Facebook page, and clicking the “Share” button. When sharing, each person can add their own comment (for example: “Have you ever wondered what our company does all day!? Check out our new short video!”), so that their network understands the relevance of the video, and actually views the video. If you’re looking to get the video viral, ask your staff to use the share comment to ask their networks to also share the video!
