Do you want to remain a great Facebook post visible over several days or weeks? Pinning it on your Facebook is a great option. This article from MiniTool MovieMaker will show you how to pin a post on Facebook.
Things You Should Know about Pinning a Post on Facebook
When you pin a post on Facebook, the pinned post will move to the top of the profile or page and stay there regardless of how many posts you publish afterward. So, when someone navigates to your page/profile, the pinned post can be seen first.
This is extremely useful if you are promoting or selling something. However, there are some things you should notice:
- On your Facebook profile and page, you can only pin one post at a time.
- You can pin a post on your profile, a business page, or a group. However, you have to be the owner of the business page and the group so that you have permission to pin something (or the owner must appoint you as a page administrator).
- Pinning a post does not keep it indefinitely in your Facebook friend’s timelines. Like a pinned tweet on Twitter, the pinned post is just kept at the top of your profile page.
