Social Media Posting Instructions
Thank you for promoting our work!
To help you get the best results from promoting our work to your audience on social media, we’ve put together this step-by-step guide on how to post promos to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
In this guide, you will see images from a few different programs Food Revolution Network offers. These same steps can be applied to any promotion you are sharing with your audience.
In the FRN Affiliate Center, you’ll find social media swipe copy and images you can use for each of our programs. The suggested copy and images we offer are simply ideas to help you get started. Most partners have learned that it works best to write in your own authentic voice. Please use our images and copy as much as you would like, and feel confident that you know your audience best!
Important Note: Remember to add your affiliate link to all posts so you don’t miss out on commissions. You must use your link as we are giving it to you (or, for social media, it is okay to use a link shortener like bitly.com). Please do NOT click on the link, copy the resolving URL that appears on your browser, and use that. The resolving work will not work for affiliate tracking.
Social Media Tip:
Don’t forget to include images with your social media posts. Images get an average of 53% more “likes” than plain text messages on Facebook. You can mix and match the copy with the images we provide.
