So you have an important message to share with everyone? In fact, it is so important that you want to make sure that everybody on your Facebook will read it. Wondering how to do it? Presenting to you the Facebook paid highlight feature. It is a new program being tested by Facebook among its users in New Zealand. It’s a pay-to-promote feature wherein users can highlight or promote their posts by paying a small fee. Furthermore, this is the first time the social networking pioneer has offered its normal users the ability to amplify their updates.

This is how the feature works: The user will get an option of highlighting a status message beside the “Like” and “Comment” options by a status box.
