My friend, I have a question. I've never had a Facebook and now decided to make one for my advertising. This means I have no audience yet, nor followers or friends. Does this matter when I'm first starting out or can I just build up a following with just advertising right off the bat?

Hi, I would suggest starting out build organic traffic, as in sharing added value blog posts for example directly via a social sharing plugin, imagery or videos. You can add hashtags relevant to your niche.

You can do that with a facebook business page which includes an insights data stats.

When people start liking and commenting on your posts, you can invite them to like your page. And by replying to the comments, you are working to build your social proof.

As you progress you may want to indulge into fb ads. Advertising on facebook can get expensive if you do not know what you're doing, you need understand your audience, their interests and where they're coming from.

You need to run ad tests, see the result. Add a subset and test / retarget again based on your first result and so on so forth, till you reach a sweet spot. Once you do, you can then scale.

It is also advisable to read their community standards pages how to go about advertising, what's permitted and what's not.

-"When people start liking and commenting on your posts, you can invite them to like your page"

So you're saying that I should also focus on directing my audience towards my Facebook as much as I do my website?

What AbieAJ was trying to say is that you need to start first with growing your blog audience through blog content and comments, then share your posts with the audience using the share buttons. From here, you can direct users to your Facebook page and start building a following.

Man, you are hitting the nail on the head. A few days ago, I started looking into this. I also found that Google is offering something similar to FB as well...but I haven't looked into that much yet. Thanks for another excellent training and information.
