Once you get between 1 and 2 thousand like, you are more than ready to boost your fist post (make your first ad). Making an add is also very simple. All you have to do is make a post, just like you would normally do. Then once it has been posted to your fan page scroll down to where the post you want to boost is located at. Then press the button "boost post" located on the bottom right corner of your post. You then will be prompted to go through the exact same options you went through when you promoted your page.
To make things even easier, Facebook has created a page-manager app. Where you can manage all your promotions and ads all in one place.
I have been asked several times, what types of ads work the best? The truth is, that its all trial and error. If you make an ad that seems to be getting you a lot of clicks. Then keep that ad and keep using it. If you create an ad that does not get a lot of attention, get rid of that ad. Just remember to make ads that people can relate to. Also remember people buy from people they like, know, and trust. Now when I make ads, I enjoy making videos. When I post a video I always make sure to tell my viewers, to check out the link I put in the description. That seems to work very well for me, who knows it may even work for you.
I hope this post help you understand, just how helpful Facebook ads can be.
I am currently in the process of writing another tutorial of exactly how it is that i generate leads for 1 or 2 cents per lead. I will include that in a more advanced Facebook training tutorial.
Not promoting anything here so I just recommend searching for
- Split Testing - or - Multi-variant Testing - in any search engine should help.
I also always highly recommend ALL bloggers checkout landing pages as sales funnels.
Hope it helps & thanks for your help above!! All the best - Andre
(PS - just sent this training out on Facebook)
