Pay to promote your status updates on Facebook

by Lisa Jasper

I thought some of my friends might enjoy my last blog as my only contribution to the endless political rants on Facebook. So, I just posted it. What shocked me was that Facebook gave me the option to “pay to promote” – for the bargain price of $7 I could pay to have it come up at the top of people’s status feeds.
