Why people LOVE quotes on Facebook

Whether you love them or hate them, photo quotes consistently CRUSH it on Facebook.

Just think about how often you see them on your own feed.

ALL the time!

So why are quotes so popular?

Quotes catch the user’s attention and stop the scroll.

Plus, the best quotes make EXCELLENT fuel for engagement (likes, comments, and shares).

The more engagement you get, the more you can grow your page or business!

1. Use funny quotes

Funny Facebook quotes almost ALWAYS do well.

Your humor should follow some basic guidelines:

  • DON’T be morbid or vulgar. It limits your audience unnecessarily.
  • DO use inoffensive humor that even younger audiences can appreciate.
  • DON’T make fun of specific individuals or people groups.

People LOVE to laugh, so post funny quotes regularly!

2. Use inspirational and motivational quotes

Want to go viral?

Motivate your followers with an Inspirational quote!

Motivational quotes can make some of the BEST Facebook posts — if they’re done well.

Use high-quality photos that complement your quote.

Amateur, grainy, or low-quality images KILL the vibe you’re trying to create.

You also want to avoid cliches.

A good rule of thumb: if you’ve heard the quote before, don’t post it!

3. ALWAYS use an image

You could post a quote over a simple black or white background.

The problem?

That’s BORING!

Most people are highly visual (and don’t love to read).

A picture gives the eyes a place to anchor.

People are more likely to stop and look at your page when they see an attractive photo.
