Hey /k,

wonder if any of you have got experience in advertising via fb channel before or not? Is it really effective in helping you to gain followers/likes?

Last week I tried advertising for my page and I only pay a slight rm50 per mth. I set the target group to be malaysians > selangor & KL > all three races > male & female > 31-40 yo.

Apparently, the result is, I gained about 50 likes/followers as well. However, upon accessing these people's demography, they seem suspiciously unmatched to the criterias i limit to. Most of them are not even from Malaysia to begin with. Damn doggy la wei! Whereas my friend's fb page (he paid about 250 usd a mth) gained 29k followers in just 5 mths time. Most of them appears to be legit users too.

Any senpai here can guide on how to use fb ads more effectively so money won't go into the drain? Is paying more means getting more quality result and vice versa? hmm.gif hmm.gif

There are methods to optimize the posts to reach your objectives.

Firstly, get your objective right. Are you planning to gain likes and followers only? Or are you trying to gain more traffic instead?

The more restriction you do to your ads, the more you are likely gonna pay. FB only charge you when you gain new likes/followers/engagement. However, do take note on the post reach. The price is determined based on the post reach taken to gain a single like/follower/engagement.

So, try to use your best photo/model/product to do the ads. When the probability of gaining likes is higher every post reach, then the cost for every like is cheaper.

I used to limit everything so that i can get quality like. But it's useless. People judge easily based on your FB page likes and reviews first before going into the details.

Make sure you post something good everyday to keep your followers alert of your product. 

Here's my baby steps to a quality FB page. Do you ads by increasing the likes and finally engagement. biggrin.gif
Likes > Impression > Engagement > Post Reach

When you have sufficient likes, then you can reach more people in your area. Then they will start coming to you and do all the inquiry without you promoting the page likes anymore.

Hope this helps. biggrin.gif

Yeah thanks for this advise. It seems to help a lot. I think out of so many pages online, to get it viral perhaps interesting content is one, attractive visual is another and of course finally the exposure
