Did you create a dark or unpublished post on Facebook?

Do you know how to view comments made after you’ve created a dark or unpublished post?

Today I’m going to teach you how to view comments on a dark or unpublished Facebook post in just a few steps.

Why view comments on a dark or unpublished Facebook post?

If you want to increase Facebook engagement, you can’t just create a dark or unpublished post and ignore your audience.

While dark or unpublished Facebook posts don’t show up on your timeline, that doesn’t matter.

Anyone who has a direct link to your post or was targeted in your dark or unpublished post can still leave a comment.

If you ignore comments on a dark or unpublished Facebook post, you send the message that you don’t care about your fans.

The good news is that viewing comments on a dark or unpublished post takes just a few minutes to do.

How to create a Facebook unpublished post or dark post in Facebook Power Editor

Do you struggle with knowing how often to post on your Facebook Page?

While studies show that you should only post one time every three hours.

What do you do if you want to post more content on your Facebook Page? Create a Facebook unpublished post.

What are Facebook unpublished posts?

Facebook defines unpublished page posts as this:

Unpublished Page Posts allow Page Owners to share their messages with audiences without reaching their page audience organically through news feed distribution or timeline. (Source)

What this means for page owners is that you can create additional Facebook posts and share them with your fans without having them display on your Facebook Page.

This provides you with more opportunities to share your content without overwhelming fans.

Here are some reasons why you want to create a Facebook unpublished post:

  • Control how much content gets displayed on your Facebook Page

  • Run A/B split tests to determine which posts work best
