š§ Something Changed⦠But Not How Most People Think
I want you to pay attention to this because itās happening quietly. For a long time, a lot of us were running the same system: ⢠find viral posts ⢠track them in a spreadsheet ⢠repost them every 30ā45 days ⢠rinse and repeat And it worked. It made scheduling easy. It kept pages consistent. It printed results. But lately⦠š That same reposted content is not hitting like it used to. --- š What Iām Seeing On one of my biggest pages: Reposted viral content = declining reach Same posts that used to perform? Now theyāre getting suppressed compared to before. At first, it feels like: ⢠algo change ⢠shadowban ⢠something āwrongā with the page But then I tested something different. --- ā” The Shift: Real-Time, Fresh Content Instead of relying on recycled winners, I started posting: ⢠current events ⢠trending topics ⢠āhappening right nowā content Not even hardcore news, just fresh moments. Examples: ⢠the blood moon ⢠Carrie Underwood trending on TV ⢠Jon Bon Jovi birthday posts And almost immediately⦠š Reach went vertical again š Earnings followed --- š§ What This Tells Me About The Algorithm Facebook is leaning heavier into: š freshness over recycled virality Not saying reposting is dead⦠But itās clearly being deprioritized compared to new content. --- š The Weird Part (Pay Attention) This is where it gets interesting. This page is about a specific US city. You would assume: š Only city-related content should work best But thatās not whatās happening. Most reach is coming from: š non-followers And Facebook is pushing: š interesting content > niche-pure content As long as it aligns loosely with your audience⦠It can hit. --- šÆ What Iām Adjusting Instead of: ā scheduling everything days in advance ā relying heavily on repost rotations Iām shifting toward: ā
waking up and reacting in real time ā
posting throughout the day ā
leaning into trending moments ā
expanding content range (within audience taste) --- ā ļø Important: Itās Not āPost Anythingā
