Hello fellow webmasters,

i am using facebook to build an audience for my new website www.freesoccernews.com and i now have a dirt cheap and easy way u too can learn from.
I do not post on nairaland much (since i have not had much to post) but i feel i should share with you something i am about to achieve. We all know how expensive online advertising can be especially for small time website owners like us. Facebook ads especially are quite expensive when one considers the ROI so it is important to aim your CPC to the very minimum: $0.01

This was what i wanted from the start so i set up my advert on friday and it ran for a while. BAM!! $10 already gone just like that and i got just around 23 clicks.
I had $100 in my account and i knew that if this continued i will just have a mere 230 fans. (help me do the math if i am wrong )

Enough small talks, here is what i did:
1. i changed the photo of my ad from a well dressed young woman to a hot lady baring a little of her clea**ge . Pls guyz just a little cleavage or else facebook will not approve your ad. This move alone increased my CTR from 0.13 to 0.22 (afterall sex sells)

2. Narrow your target. If your audience is women of age 18 - 40 that lives in nigeria, speaks english, not in a relationship and like chris brown, then so be it. Dont target anyone else. Infact once the facebook traffic estimator starts to read above 5 million people that ad is probably not well targeted.
-I have also come to find out that women between the ages of 30-50 have the higehest CTR while people btw 50 and above do not even look at ur advert. avoid them.
-When targeting men (working class), run your adverts only in the evenings when they are back from work.
-Also average CPC drops by 30% at night (depending on the country you are targeting) and drops almost 50% by weekend(big players go to sleep)
-Muslim countries have the highest CTR . It seems these guyz just love to click on ads (i am still looking for what i can market to this region)

Okay, i am still researching and i will post more. Just remember that CTR is king in facebook ads. aim for a CTR of 0.2 and above and you will be fine.

I had $120 in my account and i am currently paying 0.01 per click now for my ad. if my math is right i will get around 10,000 fans b4 the money is exhausted. attached is a picture of my progress: i have a CTR of above 0.5 and my page i opened on friday now has 2015 fans

I hope this helps someone. Ask any questions, i will try my best to answer accurately.

Lol..!!! The comendy of year...!! So funny seeing someone saying how to use a whole $100 to get 10k likes when I used zero kobo to get 11,000 likes on my page so far in less than 3 months ...i.e facebook.com/justhàvefuns. Una get money to waste oo

ok. why not tell us how u did it. i explained how i got mine. this is a forum for helping other nigerians not blabbing and boasting.

i am waiting.....

Oh I never knew you where the same person. I must I have told you my poor,slow and lucative technique already

Yeah you told me already (laughing).

Very helpful.

I have this question to ask:

I ran advert and targeted just ladies and facebook refused the advert citing that I can't target a sex alone. It was a dating advert for a site I built for single women.

@nairawall

You can target sex, Male, Female or both. that is why those options are there. They must have refused your advert based on other grounds. Can you please provide a snippet of the email. I am saying this cos i know for a FACT. I have ran campaigns targeting only women too and it works. Pls give me more details.
