Everyone knows that when you add a post some people see it and some don’t. Facebook is going to up the ante so to speak and make sure more people will see your prize goods if you fork over the Cashola.

You can target posts based on location or language, and will be able to keep track of how many people saw the post. Any post that is less than three days old can be promoted.
It’s super easy to do just check out the sharing tool to create a post and located next to the “Post” and “Public” buttons will be a “Promote” tab. Click “Promote”, set a budget of how much you want to spend I did mine for $5.
“Your promoted posts will be seen by a larger percentage of the people who like your Page than would normally see it,” So says Facebook “It will also be seen by a larger percentage of the friends of people who interact with your post.” Hmm don’t they want to see me anyway isn’t that why they liked my page to begin with? Makes you wonder.
People will see promoted posts labeled as “Sponsored” in their news feed (not with other ads located in the right column of Facebook). When they Like the post, comment or share, their friends will see it as well. That is pretty cool.

I’m probably going to be the only person who thinks this, but I think it’s a fantastic idea. I’ve been using the promoted post feature for a while now and love it. When I kept hearing people talk about Facebook charging owners of business pages, I thought they were talking about something outside of Advertising module.
It’s a great way to help a post reach a little further and I’ve used it for posts that I really wanted to get out there.
Another thing that Facebook announced is the ability to schedule posts. I’m curious to know what this will mean for services like Hootsuite. I really love the ability to not only schedule posts, but to do so to multiple sites.
Thanks the great post!

No Kim you’re not there are some others who love it too so you’re in good company. I tested it today so I’ll let you know how I liked it- Thanks for commenting!

I might have missed it in your post but what I’m wondering is this:
A blogger pays to have their post seen by X% of fans. What if half of those people that Facebook chooses out of a hat are hiding your stream anyway? Is there anyway to be sure that your post is getting before your fans. And I won’t like a “sponsored” post because I have no desire to be free advertising for my list of friends. KWIM?
No you didn’t miss it Jane- those are all good points and I don’t know I’ll have to look into it more deeply. I know that it says it’s reached whatever percentage of fans now how that’s determined I’m not sure but I don’t think they apply that to fans that hide you. What is KWIM? LOL
I think a lot of people should be aware with this information and I am sure only few Facebook users are informed about this..
More are learning about it but feel free to share this post because I didn’t know about it until very recently.
This bothers me~ FB came out with this first!~ New “Show in News Feed” option. Share this with your Fans to make sure they have your Page showing in the News Feed! They have to come to your Page to check the setting on the Like button. ~ and now we can pay to have our posts seen??? I’m scratching my head~
Maybe if they didn’t constantly screw with FB, we could go back to having it our timeline seen by all for free~ sounds like a scam to make money to me. I wish they would stop tweeking the hell out of FB. I think they are candy coating this to make it sound great, just to get us to pay for something we already had for free. GRRRR~ Although since they gave me a FREE $50. to play with, I will use it, but prob not buy any more after that.

The free $50 is cool use that and let us know how it goes.
