Considering the fact that Facebook is one of the most popular social media platforms at the moment, it’s only natural you might want to post fun, interesting, or even informative content onto your Facebook profile. For that reason, you might also wish for your posts to have a wider reach on Facebook, allowing a larger audience to view your content. That is exactly where sharing comes in, allowing your friends to effortlessly repost your content onto their own Feeds, and expand the reach of your posts.
To that end, if you wish to make your personal posts on Facebook actually shareable, then follow this handy guide below:
Making posts shareable on desktop
If you’re currently using Facebook on your computer, you can follow these simple steps below to make your personal posts shareable:
- Load the Facebook website in your preferred internet browser, and sign in if necessary.
- Press the ‘What’s on your mind’ bar at the top of the homepage to create a new post, or click on your profile image to load your personal page and locate a previously published post that you’d like to make shareable.
- If you’re writing a new post, press the tab underneath your name (which will most likely say ‘Friends’). If you’ve found an older post, press the three dots within it, and then press Edit Audience.
- Here, simply choose the Public option to make your personal posts available to everyone on Facebook, and therefore shareable.
