Facebook Sponsored Stories are basically ads that feature user interactions with a brand or business on Facebook. They show up in users' news feeds to increase brand visibility.
It depends. Some sponsored story settings allow you to target specific audiences. If you've set your sponsored story to be shown to a broad audience that includes your friends, then they'll likely see it. However, if you've restricted the visibility to a particular group that doesn't include your friends, they won't. Also, different platforms have different algorithms for displaying sponsored content.
Often, sponsored stories are written by freelance writers contracted specifically for the project. Sometimes, in-house marketing teams within the sponsoring entity might also take on the writing.
Sponsored stories are on news feeds because companies pay to have their content shown to a wider audience to increase visibility and promote their products or services.
It could be a variety of people. Sometimes it's marketing agencies that assign the task to their writers. Other times, it might be individual writers who have a good reputation for creating engaging content and are contracted specifically for the sponsored story.
It depends on the specific terms and conditions of the sponsorship. Some sponsored stories might last for a few days, while others could last weeks or even months.
Sure, you have a chance. But it's not easy. You need to show how your presence at Comic Con can benefit the sponsor. It could be through promotion, unique content, or a large audience reach.
