How to share tweet on Facebook Story

Do you want to share a tweet on your Facebook timeline or Facebook Page but you’re not sure how to do it?

Sharing a tweet on Facebook is pretty easy once you know how to do it. You could also cross-posting your post on Twitter and Facebook automatically — which is pretty common things to do.

In this post, you’ll learn how to post a tweet on Facebook in 3 simple steps and also find out how you could do it automatically.

In this example, I’m going to use one of TypeEighty’s tweets.

Step 2: Get the direct URL to the tweet

Now, you might be wondering how you could get the URL to the tweet. Simply click on the timestamp on the tweet.

As the tweet loaded on the page, you could copy the URL on the browser’s address bar.

Step 3: Publish a new post on Facebook

Next, head over to your Facebook. Create a new post on Facebook and paste over the URL you copied in step 2.

Facebook will automatically fetch and display the preview of the tweet.

You should add a message to your post and don’t forget to include a call to action to increase your engagement.

Keep your post short. Studies show that keeping your Facebook post below 80 characters could increase your engagement by 66%.

Finally, just delete the actual link you pasted earlier to keep your post clean.
