10 lessons learned from becoming a Facebook rising Creator

For context, Facebook gives you an award where it says you are in the top 2% of creators, as seen in this picture.?

I will share the top ten things on how I achieved this milestone.?

1. Post daily- even if it's something small, like acknowledging a friend. I will post daily gratitude lists as a practice, and if it's someone's birthday, I'll make sure to give them a lovely note.?
2. Ask thought-provoking questions- I experiment with answering things I'm naturally curious about. For instance, What is a purchase that has been worth the ROI (any items under $100 dollars)? or What is a place that I must visit in my lifetime? ?
3. I use Facebook honestly as a way just to share what's going on in my mind. It's the best platform because it?feels so personal?that I can write about anything. With LinkedIn, I'm putting in more of a professional mindset, although it's shifting where people are definitely starting to post more personal topics, but not as often as Facebook.?
4. I most recently started using the?Reels functionality, their Answer to TikTok, and YouTube shorts. Competing with Google and other platforms with a shorter attention span is smart, so they are giving creators money to compete with the other multibillion social media companies. Reels give me reach and help me get many more followers outside of my friend connections.?
5. Use a combo of?posts, stories, and reels. The combination will reach a wider audience than just relying on one of the methods to reach people.?
6. You can check into things like when I'm at the airport or at a restaurant I've had so many people reach out to me saying oh, I'm just around the corner from you. Lets meet up.?
7. I am asking for travel or?any recommendations. The Facebook community loves to come together to help each other out. I've gotten good advice in general for so many different topics.?
8. I love to show my food- because Facebook is a visual platform, and I'm passionate about food. I love sharing my life with the world and all the exciting things I'm up to.?Everyone has different passions whether it's being a parent or traveling. Don't over think it and just be yourself. The good news is I tend to think people tend to show their most authentic selves on Facebook.
9. Connect with your community. I have been limiting my consumption of social media, and when I check it out occasionally, I will use Messenger to reach out to a friend or stay in touch with people.?
10. I use it to store my photos. Nowadays, people don't have as many physical photo albums. I do diversity my pictures, and during the anniversary of that activity or event, I am reminded, which helps me appreciate the good times.?

My intention is to share easy practical tips to get more engagement on Facebook if one of your goals is to make money on Facebook I'm letting you know that is possible.
