Thanks Louie.

Indeed… a very reasonable suggestion!

Thanks.

What could they possibly offer that would be better than working for OurChurch.Com 🙂

Thanks.

Thanks Paul. I could see them scaling the cost. I would understand why and, depending on how they do it, wouldn't necessarily have any issues with it.

However, I'm not sure they would lose revenue. It all depends on how many organizations buy into it. Sure, it's a fraction of how much it costs to promote a single post right now, but how many organizations actually "boost" their posts? For that matter, how many organizations have essentially stopped using Facebook because so few people see their posts. Sometimes a lower cost actually brings in more revenue.

Thanks! I agree, I'd rather see posts from the people and organizations I've chosen the paid advertisements any day.

Glad you liked it. Maybe Facebook will see it/listen if enough people talk about it.

I understand. Thanks for sharing. Is $10/year too much as a user as well?

Yep. I've been surprised by more than one announcement from a family member who then told me, "What? I posted about this a few days ago." Yeah, I never saw that post.

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

Thanks Steve. That's one the things that led me to this idea. We have churches and non-profit especially where their fans "Liked" them because they want to see the updates, but most don't.

Glad you liked it. Maybe Facebook will see it/listen if enough people talk about it.

As for organizations, I think it usually costs more than $10 to promote 1 post and can be into the thousands of dollars, so any org that is already paying for promoted posts on a regular basis would save money, which means FB would lose some of its current revenue. I think the concept is good, but my guess is FB would probably scale the cost for orgs based on the number of fans.
