just wondering if anyone here has ever made an advertisement in FaceBook.
i'm thinking of creating an ad for my book but i'm concerned about how much i'll be paying for it.

Why not? I'm not disagreeing with you; just wondering why you say that.

Frankly, I can't make heads or tails of Facebook. My impression is that it is highly overrated as a place to market a book.

I've heard the same as Shelagh - waste of money.  Money better put elsewhere in a target ad for instance to your target audience.

I've boosted a number of posts on facebook average cost $30 a pop. Result: lots of page likes, a few positive comments but no noticeable increase in sales. My verdict; if your aim is to raise the profile of your social media campaign then there is perhaps limited benefit, if your aim is to sell more books, then I think money is best spent elsewhere.

I still think First Chapters Plus is the best place I advertised even though their rates are going up.  Some are having luck with Book Bub also.
