Creating a Viral Competion

I am not sure where I should post this.

I am looking to create a competition through one of my Facebook selling page to draw attention to it and hopefully generate sales on the shop it links to. So, something generating lots of likes, shares, comments etc. I am going to boost it in the hopes that it will quickly create a chain reaction of sharing it with a friend, who shares it with a friend etc. Any tips on maximising the amount of exposure and engagement I could get with a facebook promotional competition?

Thanks!

    Provide content and a prize that people would actually want. Pay facebook to boost your post pay some company on fiver,com to post and like share and comment on your post etc. Yes people do that people create huge page likes (a lot could be chinese bot followers etc so be careful) ANd then people say I will share your post to my 20,000 friends etc. Obviously if you can find 1 that targets your niche more the better. But that is not the point of using fiver the point is it generates interest even if it is fake. Facebook notices how many likes and shares it gets so starts featuring it more and pushing it onto peoples timeline,
