Monday: It means two things. Number one is that I am writing another post to you lovely people again and Monday Night Football (that should be an ESPN commercial.) And to be honest I am much more excited about football tonight then I am about writing this post, but who can blame me? The games on tonight should be high scoring blowouts. But I guess I should stop talking about football and get on with why I’m here.
Where would we be without Facebook? Facebook has exploded over the past few years and it is everywhere. I remember this summer being at a baseball game watching the fifty year old women chat on Facebook the entire game. With 250 million users on Facebook, there is a lot of potential there. The problem with all this potential traffic is that it might not be the best market for you. Creating Facebook ads can be tricky. I have lightly dabbed into it and really didn’t look to deep into it and lost money rather quickly. There are some steps and considerations to take before you start advertising on Facebook.
First of all, and possibly the most important is to make sure you get your target market right. Make sure you are targeting the right age group, location, sex….. There are multiple options for you to choose from. The narrower your target market the better your chance of you making a profit. You want to make sure the right people are seeing your ad, even if that means creating many variations for your ad.
Creating different variations of your ad is a smart thing to do anyway. It keeps things fresh. Different pictures and different wording will help in the long run. Every person is different and running different ads on Facebook will help you figure out what ad variations work better with targeted market.
Facebook can be tricky but can also be very rewarding. I’m looking forward to going more in depth with it and turning a profit. Maybe in the future I’ll talk about this more but it’s pretty simple and self-explanatory. Just do some tweaking and some good ol’ trial and error, but you can have some fun on Facebook. Enjoy. Talk to everyone later.
