Want to find viral Facebook posts?

Smart idea!

Sharing top-performing posts will improve your Fan Page reach – something you’re probably working hard to do.

Creating viral content is the dream of every online marketer. But creating Facebook content is a ton of work, and there are no guarantees it’ll go viral.

Why not share others’ content that’s already proven to be successful?

Here’s how.

Why share Facebook content?

Let’s face it, creating GREAT content takes LOADS of time.

And going viral is almost a pipe dream. Did you know that half of social shares are driven by only 1/1000th (.1%) of the articles online?

The content types you post on social media should be a mix of your own awesome content and others,’ anyway.

Here are top reasons to share others’ content:

  • Build trust by not being 100% self-promoting.
  • Establish yourself as an authority in your niche.
  • Be a valuable resource for your audience.
  • Save time! You don’t have to create everything.
  • Connect with influencers in your niche by sharing their content.
  • Improve your social media engagement by sharing the best of the best.

But the good news is, it takes far less time to find and share proven content than to make, post, and evaluate your own.

How to find the best Facebook posts

As a dedicated Facebook Page owner or admin, you probably start your day with the best intention of posting something intriguing on your Page later in the day – you know, at that best time to post on Facebook you discovered.

But your day gets crazy, and your Page is neglected.

No worries! There’s a way to find the most viral images on Facebook – in your niche.

And quickly schedule them to be shared with your followers daily.

This little-known secret weapon is SmarterQueue‘s Find Content. This tool could save you loads of headaches with your Facebook Page!

Imagine finding proven posts to share, or to inspire your own posts – with the best chance of getting that elusive Facebook engagement.

Every day, content is going viral on Facebook – even in your niche.

How do you track it down? SmarterQueue makes it fast and easy to find PROVEN content.

Find Content combines powerful search with Pinterest-style browsing, so it’s easy to find and share great content from Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

You can set your evergreen content to recycle, saving you even more time.

Each time you recycle a post, it will be seen by new parts of your audience. This means you can easily get up to 10x more likes and shares than posting just once.

SmarterQueue’s easy-to-understand analytics will let you see how your audience grows as you post more often – along with many other valuable stats.

So get organized! Plan your posts for the week – or month – in advance! You can always reschedule your “found content” if you discover something else to post.

Curating content with SmarterQueue could save you a day’s worth of work each week – and plans start at $16.99 per month.

    Hey! Are viral images copyrighted? Can we use them?

      All images are considered copyrighted until you find or get explicit permission from the original creator. They’re copyrighted by virtue of simply being published.

      You may use them using the share function within the social media app, but not in any other manner.

    Hi Louise,

    Great tips on how to find viral Facebook post. Technology has made life easier for us, and with technology comes Post Planner, the tool you recommended for this strategy. In fa fact, Rebekah Radice has sent me emails about this tool but because I already have other tools I’m using, such as Agora Pulse, I have not given it any attention. Agora Pulse is a complete toolkit for Facebook & Twitter, with a full set of Facebook apps so you can easily set up quizzes, contests, etc. With their advanced Page analytics, users can easily pinpoint viral content on Facebook. However, with the insight you presented, I think it time I try it out.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Hello Louise! When I click on “Read more about it here” – the article does not open.

    Have you tried the Popsters.us tool to find popular posts in social networks? Very convenient for the analysis of any accounts (it supports 12 social networks)
