What post ideas that you can use to improve your marketing campaign?
Post up to four times a week at least
The most popular Facebook pages post four times a week.
The frequency of posting is a big deal on Facebook. This is because if you do not post anything for quite some time, your organic reach will surely suffer.
To combat that, you should post more frequently and at the right time.
By posting more frequently at the right time, you will get the highest engagement, according to a survey. But it is still important that, when you post, your audience is online.
Post Native Videos on Facebook
They do better than when you post YouTube videos.

When you try to look at the reach of native videos on Facebook, they earned more than 10% of organic page likes, while YT videos that are uploaded on Facebook only resulted in less than 10% of organic reach.
These native videos get more engagement too and they outperform YT videos.
Unfortunately, majority of Facebook pages do not post native videos on Facebook. Some of them did not upload videos at all.
However, if you are planning to post native videos, you have to remember that most Facebook users watch videos no more than 30 seconds.
