​​How to advertise on Facebook

After reading my guide on how many people like on a Facebook page, the number of users who are following your page updates has increased a lot. You have noticed, however, a strange phenomenon: people from posts on your page have not risen at all, indeed … they even seem to have fallen! Most likely, the “guilty” of the situation is not you, but the Facebook algorithm, which in the last few years has focused above all on content posted by individual users instead of those from the pages. The result? To reach a higher number of users, you must sponsor the content by creating paid listings.

Do not you have the petty idea of ​​how to advertise on Facebook? There is no problem: in this article you can find all the information you need to create social networking ads that are most popular in the world whether you want to do it from desktop or mobile. In addition to explaining how to use the feature to highlight content, I will briefly briefly outline the main features of some useful tools to manage Facebook adverts. These are mainly designed for professionals and Web Agencies, that is, those who have ‘the need to carry out some advertising campaigns.

Before we go into the heart of this article, however, I want to make a descriptive statement: you can only sponsor the content on Facebook pages (remember, I’ve already explained how to create a Facebook page in a tutorial that was published some time ago) and not those of personal profiles. That said, we set aside the talk and move on to action: here’s how to create ad listings on Facebook.

Sponsoring content on Facebook is a very simple task to accomplish: just use the “Highlight post” feature that appears on each post posted on a Facebook page.
