Experimenting with Facebook ads!
Last night, I created a Facebook page as part of the training. One of the next steps involved sharing content on my Facebook page, but I felt a little strange doing this on a page with zero followers.
I decided to experiment and set up a small 5-day ad campaign to get my first few Likes and then drop my latest article. To get started, I set up my Page properly with all its sections, a logo and a cover image. Then, I shared two of my older website posts to put a little content on it.
It took 14 hours to get my ad approved, but within 2 hours I'd gotten my first Like! Another 2 hours later, I now have 4 Likes from the ad campaign. I'm hoping that within a day or two I can share my latest article to a small audience of at least 20 people.
Just thought I'd share, I was blown away that the ads really work! It's a small success, but one nonetheless :)
Thanks for reading!
Vicky
Update: 12 hours after ad launch, I have 24 page likes, 6 post reactions, 1 "tag" comment and a share! Mind = blown.
I'm going to experiment some more in the coming weeks/months and hopefully I'll be able to share something useful about what I learned!

Congratulations, Vicky, even small successes build on themselves, the thing is it could be described as on the job marketing training.
Nothing beats experience and you are certainly doing that.
Best wishes as you continue to grow your online presence.
