Tired of Googling for content only to find the same old boring stuff?

We can help!

I confess, I used to use Google to search for images to post on my Facebook page.

I would search for keyword phrases like “motivational quotes” or “motivational quotes for Facebook.”

It’s an easy way to go about it. After all, you only have to wait a few seconds and then voila… Google does the work and shows you what to post.

Here’s the problem…

It’s time consuming to come up with new phrases to type in — and worse yet — the content is repetitive.

Pretty soon, the same old stuff keeps coming up. Plus, since that content is SEO optimized, other people will be searching and posting the same exact thing.

My desktop got very MESSY when I was doing this. At one point, I had over 20 different images I had saved to post.

Finally, I realized there had to be a better way. All that was too much work!

Does any of this sound familiar? I bet some of you have gone through the same thing too.

These days, Facebook is putting more weight on quality content.

Will your posts pass the Facebook quality content test? Ask yourself these 5 questions:

• Is it timely and relevant content?
• Does it come from a trustworthy source
• Would you share it with friends or recommend it to others?
• Would you call this a low quality post or meme?
• Would you complain about seeing this content in your news feed?

Facebook also has an algorithm that determines:

• The time people spend reading an article
• The time people spend looking at a Facebook post

There are just so many factors to consider when choosing what to post on Facebook.

Today, I thought it would be fun to find out how the experts find great Facebook content to post.

These experts share amazing Facebook content on a daily basis. It would be fantastic to learn from them as they share the tips and tricks up their sleeves.

This post includes tips from:

• Peg Fitzpatrick
• Neil Patel
• Dave Kerpen
• Ahna Hendrix
• Jonha Richman
• Glen Gilmore
• Lucy Rendler-Kaplan
• Ravi Shukle
• Pam Moore

Thanks so much for a great interview, Chris!

But in case you missed it – MobCon is an annual tech conference created by Mentor Mate, a leading Android/iOS mobile app developer that’s making waves in the mobile tech industry. It’s a conference that attracts some of the biggest names working for brands like Fitbit, Adobe, Microsoft, Pandora, Target, and many more.

And the best part is that they hired me to assist Ryan with their social media activity and live streaming! Mainly, I was tasked with interviewing speakers, generating buzz online, and doing whatever I could to make Ryan’s life easier.

So of course I have to share the major highlights, interviews, and my favorite speaker presentation from Blab.im CEO Shaan Puri.

But first, working with Ryan and the MentorMate team was an honor. It was such an excellent collaboration that everything seemed easy, even though it required me waking up at 4am three days in a row.

Let’s jump in!

Interviews

My first interview with Sarah Peterson Post, the main creator of Target’s Cartwheel app was a blast.

It was the first interview of the conference, and she was a delight to talk with!

My second interview was with Heather Kennedy, Director of Customer Success for Fitbit Wellness.

As a fellow yoga and health lover, we could’ve chatted all day. I love that Fitbit is helping businesses get their employees in shape!

The third interview was with Hannah Meium, the Branded Content Director for Mashable.

I was curious to know more about her job, what she deals with on the day-to-day, and her famous cat, Herman.

My fourth interview was with my favorite presenter, Shaan Puri, CEO of Blab.im.

It was a great interview, but we had a technical issue and the recording only downloaded a third of it. I was crushed!!

Ryan and I learned a good lesson – always have a backup video recording.

Watch his INCREDIBLE presentation:

And my final interview was with the MobDemo winner, Tyler J. Skluzacek of MyBivy!

I was rooting for MyBivy weeks before the conference, so it was super exciting for me to see him win first prize.

MyBivy is an app that helps veterans or PTSD sufferers overcome night tremors and sleep soundly.

Now, a few highlights!

Highlights

Our #MobConSelfie contests were a definite success! We created the contest to engage attendees on Twitter and they had a great time.

Another highlight was our (Ryan and I) introduction to the conference via the big screen in the main room.

It was quite the jump to go from Periscoping a live keynote to being outside in time for it to move to the screen, but it was fun!

Annnd we were trending #1 in Minneapolis by 10am the first day of the conference!! And did so for 13 hours. We stayed in the top 10 trending topics in Minneapolis throughout the conference.

Overall, we had a blast and rocked it out!

I look forward to working with the MentorMate team again in the future. To view the MobCon story on Twitter, click HERE.

Thanks for having me, guys – it was a pleasure!
