Review 

Even though Facebook changes daily, this book can still help any business to some degree.

I was surprised to find a chapter on “How to find your perfect audience,” I know so many authors, bloggers, and handmade business that has no clue how to use their pages insights to find their audience, so for someone that wants to learn more on how is on their pages insights works for them, than this book is for you.

If you looking to build your page with tons of likes by advertising give this book a try, but keep in mind if you’re not a graphic artist or a designer than please get someone to create your ads so they don’t suck, you want to grab likes not run them off and I have seen some ads that totally sucks and had me running away instead of liking their page.

Now, they just need to create a book on how to keep the audience you just gained by placing ads. We all know how crafty Facebook is by hiding post even if you hit get notifications on the pages. I have been an admin on a few pages that have over 10k likes and the only 1k people would see the post, crazy, you pay to get them but yet Facebook hides your post so then you lose them, kind of a double edge sword here.
