by commiebob 14y ago
Right, things you post to your Facebook page, not ads you are actually buying from Facebook. You get to advertise for free by creating a page for your business and getting people to like it. It has a ton of value for your business, but you'

Nothing in particular, I just really enjoyed the first two you wrote. Seeing the entire process of launching a product laid out was very interesting. Thanks!
