I vote NOT WORTH THE $$
I have experimented with boosting posts of all sorts and targeted posts.

Unlike the success I had with FB Adds (on the side bar), the Post boosts runs through my funds and shows the thousands of people that saw the post, but never has any real power IMHO.

Unlike GoodReads, FB boosts are NOT pay-per-click, so you burn through your $ with no real guarantee that anyone saw anything.

Now, we have to consider that maybe my post just sucked, but I will tell you I tried it out on many different types with the same lack-luster results.

Bethany Shaw | 4 comments Thanks for the info. I was wondering about FB because they are always trying to promote their boost post option. Have you tried other paid promotions like Kboards or goodkindles? I've been looking into them, but apprehensive to spend money on something I don't know if will work or not.

I found that people in FB like to stay in FB, so if I buy FB adds, it is with the goal of increasing likes on my page and nothing more. Likes just gives me overall credibility when a reader happens to my page.

Thanks for the tip on KBoards and GoodKindles - I am headed over there now to check them out. Let us know if you had any luck with them.
