It will not only increase the possibility of your content being re-shared but also help you attract the audience that is genuinely interested in the topic you write about. Creating Facebook page helps in building a group of like-minded people who are interested in your blog subject. At the same time, it provides group members an opportunity to share their opinion and ideas with each other.
