Creating Single New Posts

2. In the pop-up window, select the type of Page Post Ad that you wish to create:

• Videos: Generate video views and boost video content.

• Offers: Promote offers or discounts that users can use in-store/online

3.  The check-box for Don't display the post will create an Unpublished Page Post. This box is checked by default.

This is a 'dark' post that will not appear on your Facebook page. When unchecked, you will create an organic post, otherwise known as a Published Post.

4.  The check-box for Post targeting/scheduling is a filter that allows you to select the language and country where your post will be displayed. This filter is on top of the published/unpublished filter. 

5.  The check-box for Schedule this post means that your post will be unpublished until a specified time, at which time it will be published to your Facebook page. 

6. Fill in all fields and click on the Publish button to save your post.

You will see your post in the feed.
