LOL… so I had a spelling mistake above. I went to correct the spelling and BAM, I received a -10 for fixing it. lol… so odd.

very true. but they reward post to people for just saying “thank you”… point hogs… lol.

Either way, this is a great system.

I’ve noticed that also, but I believe you get the points back when you re-submit the post so it is a wash on the points.

@dennischica Being able to block users would solve that lol

lol… so funny. you would think as majority of everyone here is in some type of business owner or resource, that it would be beneficial for both party to tell each other what they do, instead of having to ask permission. 

@dennischica Facebook ads work! And very well.

Best way is to start experimenting with them. Keep the daily budgets low until you see what works. And keep using what does work.

Make sure your images are compelling. This is really important as it will attract the eye. Using faces is a good way. But it also needs to fit with what you are advertising.

Write good copy. Go to CopyBlogger and learn from them. And make sure you provide a call to action in the copy. (Something as simple as “Apply Now” will do)

Keep your own spreadsheet track of how well ads are going and how they do. I do this fairly manually but this helps me know what is working and what isn’t.

Use a combination of broad and targeted audiences. This will depend on what you are advertising and who your target audience is.

Don’t have an ad run for any longer than 2 days in a row. The drop off rate after this time is HUGE!

Experiment lots!

Hope that helps!.

I have recently been having a lot of success with using Facebook advertising for a dental technology client, where as other campaigns I have tried for other clients have not been that succesful. I used to make the generalisation that FB advertising worked well for B2C companies and B2B companies were not that well suited to this method of advertising, but I have since changed my opinion on this.

I now believe that the most important factor is whether the business lends its’ self well to using the user profile data to target customers. For example, I believe that the dental technology company is having a lot of success because they can easily target university graduates with dental degrees (their market is dentists) as that is information fields people will usually complete accuratly in their profile.

Hope thinsight is helpful!
