For authors/writers, facebook is a platform where you can socialize, make friends and connect with new readers so as to grow your audience as well as book sales.

If you have a fan page and an ATM card, then you're set to use Facebook boosting to reach your audience. However, do not expect immediate likes to your post or page. Also, do not expect lots of brilliant comments. You might not even get any. Plus, if you're selling something, do not expect immediate sales.

In as much as your post reaches a lot of people, you have to do something to keep them and eventually make them buy your book. And one of the ways to do this is by giving away something for free and asking for their email addresses in exchange. In other words, they should subscribe to your listing so that you can reach them again without needing a Facebook boost.

From my experience with Nigerian Writer's Hub, I got to understand that only a few people will respond. But also, the more someone sees something, the more curious he/she gets and wants to try it out. So if you had plans for a 1, 2 or 3 days ad boost, scrap it. I advise that you spread your ad boosting to at least a period of 1, 2,3 or 4 weeks.

Yes, you'll get some sales. Yes, you'll get some subscribers (remember, this here is the main deal).

For those experienced in book ads, no matter the social platform, please share your advise here with us.

Thanks
