How to Share Posts from Your Public Page on Your Private Account on Facebook?
Now, let’s delve into the step-by-step guide on how to share posts from a public page on your private account:
1. Log into Your Facebook Account
This solely depends on the device you are with at the moment. There are different kinds of mediums you can log in and these include either through web browser or both Facebook apps (lite and main).
You can open your preferred web browser and then visit the Facebook website [facebook.com.ng]. Input your details to log in.
2. Choose or go to the Public Page Post
Next, navigate or scroll to the public page whose post you want to share. There are certain conditions whereby you check and can’t find the post you to share privately. This happens most especially if your internet connection is bad which results in roaming or even total switch off. To find this kind of post, simply use the Facebook search bar, your news feed, or visit the page directly if you remember the name, then scroll down to find out the exact post.
3. Select the Post to Share
Once you’ve found out the post you want to share, click on it. This will open the post in a larger view, and you’ll be able to see the like reaction button (although there are some other reactions underneath like love, laugh, etc.), the comment section in the middle section, and then finally the “Share” button at the last by your right-hand side. That’s the mere display on the Facebook posts feeds especially on mobile display. But this may vary on the system (desktop) Facebook site view.
4. Click on the “Share” Button
Click on the “Share” button, and a pop-up page will appear immediately with options for sharing the post. On this page, you will be able to choose where you want to share the post: on your timeline, in a group, on a friend’s timeline, or in a private message.
Apart from that there is an option that reads “Share Now”, but that is not applicable to all devices and it simply means sharing it to your timeline immediately. To share the post on your private account, select “Share on your own timeline” which in other devices or even apps shows “Share Now”, that all means the same.
5. Customize the Post (Optional)
Before you share the post, you can customize it by adding your own comment or message (caption) if you wish to. This is a privilege to speak your own opinion you shared or want to share. You can also choose the privacy setting of the particular post thereby clicking the drop-down menu next to “Share.” You can choose “Friends, Public, or Only Me”.
6. Share the Post
After post customization, then click on the “Share Now” button. The post will then be shared immediately on your timeline for your friends and followers only, to the public or only you without even letting anyone see it.
7. Review Your Shared Post
After sharing the post, take a moment to review it on your timeline. This will help you in ensuring that it looks the way you want it to and that the privacy settings are set to “Private”, “Friends Except”, “Specified Friends”, “Friends” or your preferred audience. This is because you as a user can make mistakes while posting, you might mistakenly type something else instead of what you intend you write.
Drawbacks and Considerations of Sharing Post on Your Private Account on Facebook?
1. Privacy Concerns: While sharing posts from public pages to your private account is a controlled process, it still involves sharing content on your timeline. Ensure that the content aligns with your personal values and privacy preferences.
2. Content Relevance: Sharing too many public page posts can clutter your timeline. It’s important to strike a balance and only share content that you believe your friends and followers will find relevant and engaging.
3. Possible Overlooked Posts: Your timeline may receive various posts daily, and your shared content could get lost among other updates. Make sure to engage with the shared post after it’s on your timeline to increase its visibility.

Sharing posts from a public page to your private account on Facebook can be a valuable way to curate content, engage with like-minded individuals, and build your personal brand. The process is straightforward and allows for customization, ensuring that you share content that aligns with your interests and values.
While there are benefits to this practice, it’s essential to exercise discretion and balance in your sharing activities. Make sure the content you share is relevant to your audience and consider the potential impact on your timeline’s overall aesthetics and user experience.
By following the steps outlined in this guide and considering the benefits and drawbacks, you can effectively share posts from public pages on your private Facebook account, enhancing your online presence and providing valuable content to your friends and followers.
