banmee:


Let me understand your logic. So if you owned a company, you'd rather advertise with someone who would give you 2 million views over someone who would give you more than a billion views. Makes sense. What's your name again?

Can you even afford 2 million views then buy nairaland 2 Million first.. we need to start somewhere to start supporting our local industry ..online ads on American owned sites have greatly affected the other radio ,TV and outdoor ads in Nigeria causing a lot of Job losses and closure of a lot of Ad firms ..Companies like face book earn a lot from ads in Nigeria but pay no taxes on such ads here ..I am an advocate of supporting homegrown industries first over foreign companies that pay no taxes sef

[size=20pt]Millions of Nigerians on Facebook have made millions of dollars for Facebook by their daily supply of content of news, information, gossip and chats with millions of photos and videos. But Facebook does not even give them a cent in return.
I advise them to turn to blogging where Google shares millions of dollars from adverts on Google AdSense with bloggers for the posts on their blogs.
Then share the links to your blogs as updates on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others.
Google shares advert revenues with bloggers. But Facebook does not share revenues from adverts.
Without users' posts, Facebook will crash.

If a social network does not appreciate your contributions of contents, don't waste your data on it. Even LIB rewards regular readers
Facebook is not free, because you pay for every second you spend on Facebook.
You pay for power supply and you pay for internet..
I have made over N1 million on Facebook before I spent N150, 000 on boosting posts on Facebook.[/size].

how was it being operated when it accepted only dollars?

I think you should use GTbank and UBA or first bank master and visa cards. They support foreign transactions very well.
Meanwhile, Placing ads isn't the problem,its actually making it seen by your target audience. That is the set of people you want to see ur ad! I am a digital marketer and I boost ads on Facebook. It is actually cheaper than setting up an ad account because

1. You can do it without paying a dime until you get a huge reach to your target audience.ie Facebook will charge you after you have gotten the result you want which is getting views from your target audience.
2. I can easily boost your ad with my fanpage on Facebook. I own a personal blog as well. Even use my MasterCard to do initial transaction and you can balance me later.
3. You can choose how long you want to boost your ad and those you want to see it on Facebook eg two weeks,a month or 16-70 years target audience.
4. You can also choose the region or country that you want to see the ad. Like Lagos or Nigeria.
5. Finally, you can get to choose if you want only men or women to see the ad. Like Always pad ad should be mostly for women.
6. You also get to see your own ad live if you fall within the requirements of target audience.

Please do not run ads for someone else using your own fan page. Advise them to create a Facebook page for their business then use that to advertise.

The first thing you do before running ads is identify the goal.

Who views and Likes & seeing ad don epp ?

Facebook is powerful and if you do not fully know what you are doing its easy to waste a lot of money without any results.

Always optimize for conversions i.e pay only for the results that actually make business sense e.g somebody contacting your business especially for SME's that don't have a lot of money to play with.

Face book ads always contribute to capital flight ..let's learn to buy Nigeria and advertise on Nairaland joor

Trina0936:

Firstly,not every product or service require a fanpage especially when there isn't a constant update on the page. Fanpages are mostly meant for celebrities, popular brands,essential products and services that always create new product/services not a one-time advert that just needs to be done once or so within a long time span.
Secondly,it isn't just about viewing the ads on Facebook,conversion can only occur when the target audience read the ads and know what it entails. So what is left for one to do is to attach a website or email addresses or phone numbers,any means by which interested customers can contact the advertiser. Simple!
You see sponsored adds on Facebook like those ones about making money and networking biz,do you see the many comments they get from Facebook users? That is conversion rate! And those who have websites get high traffic to their sites too as long as it's put in the ad.
Finally,any one who is familiar with digital marketing knows that boosting ads is very cheap compared to actually creating a fanpage which needs constant update and management.
So please,be informed! Thankyou.
