What is Facebook Promotion:

How Does it Work:

So Lets start Hacking this Mechanism :)

I created a Fresh facebook page and Uploaded some Images to it. There was an Option called “Boost Post” below Every Image.

When I clicked on Boost Post, I was returned to a new page something like:

Now here we have to set the amount and for how many days do have have to run our ad. So I filled up the form and clicked on Boost. And facebook asked me to add a Valid Card for the transaction.

NOTE: I only had 4 to 5 US Dollars in my Card but I started an ad for 100000 PKR which is almost 1000 USD.

I added my Card details and clicked on Continue. And it said that the Post is Under Review:

I was thinking that Facebook Might have a Manual check or review and I might be Blocked after this .But After a Couple Of Minutes I recieved a Notification Saying that You ad has been approved.

I was Like:

But I was not sure that the ad will run completely or not. So I waited for a couple of hours and when I checked it again. I was as shocked as before.

My Post Reached 34,792 people and got 7.1k Likes.

My Reactions:

But All of a sudden my ad stoppped. I was not sure why is it stopped and what next steps do I have to take. But after reading there blogs and other stuff I sorted out that its some kind of functionality by facebook.

So How Does it Work.

When we Boost a Post in Facebook then at that time it doesn’t charge the money from our card but instead it saves the money in our account that we need to pay later and it is named as “Threshold Amount”. But the threshold has got its limit. So when Our boosted post reaches the limit of 2500 pkr (20–25 Dollars), then the ad will be automatically stopped and it will be started again after paying that amount. So we can just Promote ads for 2500pkr.

Amount I have to Pay:

Threshold Limit:

I tried to change the threshold limit but it didn’t happen :(
I tried lots of different methods to bypass this protection but all in vain. So I left it.
But after a couple of days an Idea Came into my Mind. I thought what If we change the ownership of the page?
So what ? I went ahead and changed the admin of that page and removed the previous admin.

And Boom!!!

No Amount Due was shown this time So by doing the same process again I could have boosted up as many posts as I could.

Steps to Reproduce:

Create a Facebook Page and Boost a Post.
Add a Valid card which has at least 2–3 dollars in it.
The Ad will be started and it will run untill it reaches its threshold limit.
You can check the summary of your ads and amout spent by going to the following url:
https://www.facebook.com/ads/manager
Once the ad reaches its threshold limit, change the admin of the page and remove the previous admin.
Now start the whole process once again by boosting other or the same posts :)

I didn’t waste much more time and reported it to facebook but at first they were not able to reproduce it. So I provided them as much information as I could. Actually the issue with facebook was that it wasn’t validating the amount in the card. So after having a chit chat for a couple of days they Finally reproduced it and they Amused me by their Outstanding Reply:

Ok So they were already aware of the issue But were unable to reproduce it when I first reported it to them :P (Only Leets Can understand what I mean.)
I said Not a problem if you don’t wanna take it seriously.

NOTE: There’s something Notable in their reply which is “This behavior will eventually get caught by our fraud detection.”

I said why not challenging my self to see If I get caught or not. So I made a Brand New page and uploaded a video and some images and boosted them using the same process again and again.

Here are the results:

This was not just Limited to Posts but the Facebook Pages could’ve also been Promoted as well.

Got 2,514 Page Likes + Followers within a day :)

I showed these images to facebook and they’ve now implemented some fixes but Unfortunatley “Every Fix has a Bypass ” :D

I wasn’t awarded anything as they were already aware of the issue.

I Hope You Enjoyed this Write-Up.

Best Regards,

You can create an official Facebook Page for your business or organization at no cost. However, if you want to advertise your Page to other Facebook users, you'll generally have to pay hefty ad fees. This wikiHow teaches you a few ways to promote your Facebook page without having to pay for ads.

1
Login at https://facebook.com and navigate to your Page. You'll want to interact with your fans often if you want your business and Page to stay fresh in their memory. Make sure you respond to their comments, likes, shares, messages, and responses.
- After you log in, click the arrow icon (▼) in the top right corner of your browser and click the page you want to manage.
2
Create a post that encourages interactions. Create the kind of post that your fans may share with others. When someone shares your Page's posts, that's free advertising to all of their followers! To create a post, click the status window, add your content, and then click Post. Use posts to ask your followers questions, keep them up to date, and engage them in small activities. Add images and videos to make it stand out.
- For example, ask what your Facebook Fans' opinions are on a product you are selling or tell them if you have a sale going on.
- If you want to create engaging content that requires your fans to share your page with others, you could create a contest. Make sure the prize is incentive enough to require entrants to share your Facebook page.

3
Click Share Now to share your post. You can also use the "Publishing Tools" to schedule your post to publish at a later time.
4
Respond to comments, replies, comments, and questions. Click Notifications at the top of your page, and you'll see a list here of everything that has happened on your page and posts. For example, you'll find here comments on a post that you published a few days ago.
5
Reply to your messages. When someone sends your Page a message, it'll appear in your Inbox. Click Inbox at the top of your page to see all the messages people have sent you, and respond to as many as possible. Responding to your followers keeps them coming back for more.
6
Change your cover photo. When you change your cover photo, your fans will get a notification that your page has activity. When you navigate to your Page, you'll see a Change Cover Photo button in the top left corner of the current cover photo.
- Make sure the photo is interesting and appropriate for your Page, like a picture from your latest event. Make sure that it’s a clear shot and not blurry. The cover photo you upload should be 820 x 312px and should not exceed 2MB. If you decide to use a video, make sure it is 820 x 462px and between 20-90 seconds long.[1]

Login at https://facebook.com and navigate to your Page. You can invite friends to like your Page using any browser. The more friends that like your Page, the better the chances of their friends also checking out your content (and ultimately clicking the Like button)!
- After you log in, click the arrow icon (▼) in the top right corner of your browser and click the page you want to manage.
2
Click Community. You'll see this in the menu on the left side of the Page. You might have to click See More first.

Type your friends' names and click Invite. You'll see some suggested friends to invite to like the Page listed below the text box. Although inviting your friends doesn't guarantee they'll like your Page, it'll definitely spread the word.
- Encourage your friends to share your Page with others they think will enjoy the content.

1
Login at https://facebook.com and navigate to your Page. You had the opportunity to create your page URL when you created the page, but if you didn't have time to do that, you can continue this method to learn how you can set a custom URL. Having a custom URL makes it easier for people to find and share your Page.
- Once you change your URL, you'll want to update any links that are directing to your Page so they don't break.
- After you log in, click the arrow icon (▼) in the top right corner of your browser and click the page you want to manage.
2
Click About. You'll see this in the menu on the left side of the page. You might need to click "See More."
3
Click Edit next to "Username." This is a term that people can search to find your page, so you want to make sure the term you choose is appropriate. To find ideas, you can perform a simple internet search of your business offers and look for what appears in the search results.
- You'll want a username that's short and memorable, but can't contain generic terms or extensions (like .com).
- You can use letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and periods (.) and at least 5 characters long. Capital letters and periods will not differentiate your username. For example, "Wikihow" would be the same as "wikiHow."[2]
4
Click Create Username to continue. If the username you entered isn't available, you won't be able to continue.
- Once you change your username, the URL will update to reflect the changes. Any links that are pointing to your old URL will only redirect to a broken page.
- To find your Page's URL, log in to your Facebook account at https://facebook.com and click the arrow icon (▼) in the top right corner of your browser and click the page you want to manage. The Page's URL will be in the address bar along the top of your web browser. You can copy this and paste it anywhere to share your Facebook Page.
- If you click Share under your cover photo (it's next to "Following" and "Liked") you'll be able to share the Facebook Page on your personal page. You can click "Share on Your Timeline" at the top of that pop-up box to choose where else you want to share the Page, including "Share on a Friend's Timeline," and "Share in a Group."
