For the promotion of individual posts you need to pay a minimum of $5.00 and a maximum monetary adjustment of $300.00. Facebook stated that the promotion process begins by publishing your posts in the news feeds of all your fans (people who have “liked” your page).

Your posts will be published in the newsfeeds of your fans. In case they “like”, “comment” or “share” your post i.e. interacted with it in any manner, then their friends will also get to view your posts as “a recent activity” of their friends. This is how your posts will get maximum promotions and more fans accordingly.

The posts that are published at your friends’ news feeds will be titled as “sponsored” posts. The good part is that they will be published in the real news feeds and mobile news feeds rather than promoted in the ads column on Facebook.
