Facebook Instant articles

 Facebook is the biggest social media plate form with more than 2 billion monthly users every month. It's all because it's easy to use and a great entertainment provider. Due to its large user number, it is a place for advertisers to get more customers. For more ads needs more content to show on. Thus, Facebook has launched this tool called "Instant Articles". It's for the blog writers like me and most of you.

Before instant articles, if we want to get traffic from Facebook we need to put a link in our post and it takes a lot of time to load on the Facebook app. Result people ignore these links or posts and we lost a big part of our audience. Facebook needed more content to show ads on and we need more visitors to increase our revenue. Facebook solved this problem by introducing "Instant articles".

Instant Articles are the same articles published on any blog or website but it loads on the Facebook app and at a much faster rate. It's almost 4 times faster than any link we post on Facebook to open. Thus, it minimizes the chances of a person interested in the title of our article to ignore it due to slow loading speed. More people means more visitors and more money. 

But here comes the surprise the ads are not shown by any of our ad running partners but by Facebook. These articles contain the same content as our original articles on our blog or website but are fetched on Facebook on the app and all the third party ads are replaced by Facebook ads.

Now for every impression made by ads placed in your post you are paid by Facebook.
