Short answer
A boosted post is an existing organic social post promoted with paid budget to reach more people, using simplified targeting. It is a quick way to amplify content that is already performing well. Boosting offers fewer objective, placement and targeting controls than campaigns built in a full ads manager, which suits simpler goals.
