Tip #17 What To Avoid On Your Facebook Posts

More often than not click baiting on Facebook is a disaster waiting to happen.

Clickbaiting intentionally over-promises or misrepresents in order to pull users to a website. It attracts the attention of users with a snappy, sensationalist headline — such as “you won’t believe this”, or “you’ll never guess what happened next” — but then fails to deliver.

On your Facebook posts avoid:

  • Shocking
  • Amazing
  • Then he/she/they found out
  • What they saw
  • Brought him/her to tears
  • Look inside
  • Going viral
  • Never expected
  • Incredible
  • The reason why
  • Watch the reaction
  • What’s happening
  • Then he/she/they realizes
  • When he/she/they saw
  • Can’t stop laughing
  • I had no idea
  • (PROFESSION HERE) hate her/him
  • She/he noticed something
  • Here’s why
  • OMG
  • LMAO
  • CRAZY
  • Unbelievable
  • Hilarious
  • Whoa
  • WOW

It is also advised that you avoid CAPITALIZING one word and don’t use exclamation (!!!!) points.
