Facebook posts from articles work best when you take one clear idea—a takeaway, a quote, or a story beat—and frame it for a broad audience. Facebook favors readable length, a conversational tone, and a hook that works in the feed. You don’t need to summarize the whole article; one strong angle is enough.
Length and tone for Facebook
Facebook posts can be a few sentences or a short paragraph. Lead with the insight or question that will stop the scroll. Use line breaks for readability. If you’re repurposing an article, pick one stat, quote, or lesson and build the post around it. Add a question or CTA at the end to encourage comments. Credit the source when you’re sharing someone else’s work.
