Before I share with you what you need to know about boosting a post on Facebook, here is the difference between boosting and promoting.
Three Different Ways You Can Promote on Facebook
1. Boosted post
2. Promoted post
3. Newsfeed Ad
Boosting Posts on Facebook
Boosting a post is as easy as clicking the ‘boost’ button in the bottom right hand corner of your post.
