NEW!! 💥 Facebook is starting to roll out POST TESTING for organic video content. 📺 Have you seen this feature in Creator Studio yet?!
You'll be able to test out different versions of your video post. Then, publish the one that performs best on views (or whichever metric you prefer).
First announced in early September, Facebook is now starting to roll this feature out to more users.
Facebook states, "Organic Video Post Testing in Creator Studio lets you test 2-4 variations of a non-ad video post to see which one your audience likes most. During the test, the posts are circulated to your audience, but not posted to your Page. When the test ends, the winning post is automatically published on your Page."
Facebook lists a bunch of 'Perks' -- a.k.a. the benefits of using the new Post Testing feature. These include:
▶︎ comparing any of the video aspects from title to thumbnail to descriptions
▶︎ testing up to four posts with the same video
▶︎ get results in as little as 10 minutes
▶︎ apply what you learn to future videos to keep growing your audience
This is potentially a very excellent feature, folks!! Of course, Facebook is *really* pushing video these days. Video posts get the best organic reach and engagement. Facebook is so determined to be a major player (ha, pun intended) in the digital streaming television arena. Competing right up there with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, YouTube, et al.
Looks like the feature is on desktop Creator Studio only (not the companion mobile app), and is rolling out just to some users. I actually don't have it yet myself! 🤔
