Schedule Facebook Dark Posts

Dark (Unpublished) Facebook Posts are created by businesses specifically for advertising. Unlike boosted posts, these posts do not appear on your page's timeline or in the feeds of your followers. Rather, they show up as sponsored content in the feeds of your target audience. Dark Posts are particularly useful for organizations where a separate team takes care of setting up the audience and ad budget for the posts natively from Facebook business manager.

Statusbrew allows all its users to easily publish Facebook Dark Posts directly from within Statusbrew's Compose window.
