The summary of the targeting data, is that Fabulous Fashion Collections want to reach people with;

Interest – Shopping.
Demographics – 25 and older.
Location – Abuja.

Cool trick right?

Note: Facebook only allows you to use the ‘’Why am I seeing this’’ feature about 7 – 9 times daily, after that they will stop you so you don’t abuse the feature. Use your daily passes wisely.

Let’s continue

From practise, there are two major ways to spy on your competition, and this is really powerful stuff if you didn’t know already. You can;
1. Monitor Facebook Ads on your timeline: Going forward, you should closely monitor product ads on your Facebook Timeline. When you notice there’s a huge amount of likes, shares and comments on a particular product advert, itindicates that people are genuinely interested in acquiring that product, and you have a POTENTIAL winner right there. It means people are interested in that product, people would like to have that product, and if you decide to sell that product, chances are you will get the same or better responses depending on your promotion.

NOW HERE’S A SWEET SPOT:
Did you know that you can know the exact targeting used to generate the amount of interest you saw on that Advert?

To complement your Facebook Advert monitoring effort, I will also show you how to get the targeting information for any Ad you are monitoring simply because it pains me to see people struggle so hard without results. You can thank me later.

At the top right corner of any sponsored ad, you will see three dots, click on it. This gives you a drop-down menu of options, click on ‘’why am I seeing this?’’ You will see a break-down of the targeting information associated with that Ad.

Here’s a sample of the process in pictures:

Hi there Fellow Importer,

If you want to truly succeed in mini-importation, there are really only 3 things you truly need. Get these three things right, and you'll be swimming in your own millions in no time. Get them wrong, and you'll stay stuck and lose time and money getting failed results.

So...what are those three things you ask?

Simple.
You need a product that will sell, a supplier/manufacturer, and an audience to sell to. (I’ll come back to this later.)

Now, I know you know that it usually takes a ton of time and effort to find winning products to sell, like the slim teas and the toning creams of this world, but nowadays, – not anymore.
Here, let me explain...
There are a ton of people of people jumping into the mini-importation business in Nigeria because it is profitable, and also because the Internet has greatly reduced barriers of entry with the likes of Alibaba, Aliexpress, 1688, Wish, Liquidation, etc…
And honestly, after a short training, they are left to test and experiment with different products month after month until they can find a winning product and strike gold. But frankly, while testing is a great adventure, for someone with a limited start-up budget, it also means your time and money are going down the drain.
So what if I told you that you could find winning products, their suppliers and targeted audiences in a jiffy?
And all without:
Spending N1,000 – N10,000 testing Facebook ad targeting.
Spending hours trying to think of a problem you can solve.
Spending money buying products you have no idea how to sell.

Would that interest you? I’m sure it would.

Well, I’m happy to announce that in mini-importation, it’s possible to get that data using a technique known as ‘’Spying on the competition.’’

Now, I’m sure you've heard that to find winning products, you should use Google Trends, Alibaba best sellers, look around, find a problem around you and then source for the solution, etc etc...

But what you HAVEN'T heard, is HOW a large number of the most successful mini-importers are using ‘’Spy tools,’’ and other methods under the radar to make crazy money that’ll make you blush. All the while, most other importers don't even make enough to pay their monthly PHCN bill.

‘’If you want to achieve success quickly, then you have to imitate, rather than innovate.” – unknown.

See while most mini-importers slave away at their computers struggling to make a few sales, the pros are practically raking cash in with only a fraction of the effort!
Don’t get me wrong, using those methods I previously listed do get some results, but it can also get you failure, wasted time, and a low morale especially if you started with a low budget.
I almost gave up after I had looked around my environment, found a problem and then got the solutions. Guess what? People around me didn’t think it was that much of a problem, and I got only zero buyers from my Facebook Advertising efforts. My goods sat down at home with me for 2 months until I decided to change the way I was playing the game.
With all of the trial and error, monies lost, time wasted in the past, - I’ve learned the little nuances of what it takes to make it as a successful mini-importer.
But better than that, I know what it takes to go from absolute zero to pro-importer fast!
And if you really want to know for yourself...I mean REALLY want to know what the secret ingredient is, then stick with me here and I will reveal them to you.

Ha ha... who is the bitter one? Jokers united

XaviDayo:
Moved past ur bitterness a long time ago...
Byeeeee

So what exactly is your point given what you just vomited, in relation to the question that mama imade raised? You whose "card" is so relevant? Just because everyone is jumping off a bridge does not mean you should follow suit just to stay relevant or be seen as cool.

XaviDayo:
Her attempt at pullong and playing the whack card failed. Kid doing well or not, there are children who will not get to be raised under such affluence but will turn our well in life.

Thank you Sir. It is her 9 months.
Or is it your 9 months she used? Hian!

TheManOfTheYear:
Feminist bigot. Trying to play the "9 months pregnancy" card.

Kai, the number of sick responses on this thread is appalling. First of all if you are not a parent, you do not qualify to answer her question or respond to her. Secondly, look at all the sick people talking about not being fit to be a mother... her baby is looking good and doing well and better off than babies left on the road to die or even babies in the orphanages. Who are you to say she's an unfit mother? Thirdly who says marriage makes you a fit parent? Who are all these fathers, mothers, stepmums and stepdads beating and molesting their children that we read about every other day on nairaland? Bottomline is who are you to decide who is fit or unfit to be a mum? Did you help carry the child for 9 to 10months? Have you ever bought diapers and sent to her before? Omo, I can already see how 2019 Presidential election will turn out with the number of Wackos we have in this country! Rubbish.

Tsk tsk tsk! Na so. I am sure that standard 1 bedroom of $1700/month is equivalent to a luxury 3 bedroom apartment in Lekki here in terms of the environment, amenities etc... So the Nigerian in the US can go for substandard at $700 - $800 and still live better than most people living in the same type of house in Lekki.

Also, this comparison is lopsided because the OP is comparing someone working 40hrs/week in the US to a bank Manager in Nigeria. Most bank managers work sun up to sun down and must still network at night to keep clients happy and bring in customers. That's about 12 hour days here - 60 hours a week, and let's not forget Saturdays too. A typical Nigerian employer cares not about overtime and in today's clime you should even be thankful you have a job. Your comparison should be if based on a Nigerian in the US working 60-70 hours a week doing menial jobs to a bank Manager in Nigeria.

On another note, there are a lot of opportunities to earn more from the comfort of your Sofa in the States. You can blog, YouTube, Earn free cash on mobile apps, take surveys, participate in clinical trials, etc... to supplement your income and you get paid real time. As a matter of fact, a lot of Nigerians are freelancing on the Web for US companies {Thank you Technology) and earning from there even though there might be payment processing limitations. Talkless of someone who lives in the States and can access these services without restrictions. Tell me the kind of opportunities like this that are available to Nigerians?

And lastly, just how many bank managers are even in Nigeria sef? Are they the only ones that are supposed to build a house? What of the remaining people that do not earn up to half of what a BM is earning? BM's are just a small number of people in the multitude of poverty that Nigeria is wallowing in and given a chance, they will take the menial jobs in the US to the BM job in Nigeria where you have to kiss a lot of ass, wake up early and close late at night, have little to no time for family because you are almost always in traffic and get home late when they are asleep, buy fuel and service generator, buy bottled water because the tap water is tainted, pay ridiculous estimated bills whether there's light or not because one PHCN Madam is delaying the installation of your meter until you settle an exorbitant amount or buy a meter (which is free) at 30 - 100k, pay ridiculously high fees to private schools because public education system is dead... Chaii... biko don't get me started this Sunday afternoon.

Typical Nigerian man to brand his wife a LovePeddler as soon as she is not his to beat or abuse again! The devil is a liar! Your lies will not work! You will go to JAIL!!

This is bull****, this man is coming out with all this stories after the charge has been updated to attempted murder? You are going to burn in he'll dude... what were u doing in her house @ 1.00am by the way? And all this rubbish watsapp messages doesn't mean jack!
And besides, didn't he move in with a woman and send his wife pictures @ some point? Isn't he the one in this post https://www.nairaland.com/3471029/zenith-bank-staff-brutalised-wife... the thunder that will fire u is being repackaged

You mean after he sent money and it entered the other person's account, his bank now reversed the transaction? That must be a miracle

oluwafreshkid:
One made payment and got confirmation and immediately went to tell bank that it's mistake transfer. The money was reversed to him.
He ate his cake and had it still

Oh Lord, 99% perfect and you have created a topic on top the 1% imperfection

You already have a solution to this matter! Now that you know that her silence and dilly dallying means objection, just ask her point blank what her reservations are weneva u notice these attitudes. Help break her silence instead of letting her stew in it.

And for the person that said it's wrong for a wife to disobey husband... o ga ooo.

Not that I am aware of at the moment.

anonimi:
I can understand about the male clients and our focus on sex. You must have been very firm with them to succeed.
Are there others still doing similar facilitation?

Twas cool. Nice to meet new pple. Calabar had lots of interesting places to visit. For the short time I did it, my clients were referrals from friends. Struck a deal with so hotels, an I got commissions/guest stay, Challenge; cos i'm a lady, male clients thought to proffer sex (wit the whole calabar woman stereotype) how I overcame;just told them No. Not all of them stayed friends when they left.

It was a short very enjoyable stint.

anonimi:
What was the experience like while you did it?
Successes, challenges? How you overcame the challenges?
Thanks.

Kai... na wa! @Op, if I were him, I will so CHEAT on you. I will cheat on you so hard to even ask for further help to cheat on you the more.

Look at you... your hubby sleeps around for 5 years and when he comes back you cook food and then spread your legs for him. You are his enabler. You are enabling him to cheat on you. What is unclear to you or what u haven't seen is the myriad of women who have been infected by philandering husbands. They go to hiv clinics weekly or get treatment for hbp n other std's.

Is it by force to suffer just so that the men on nairaland who are telling u to pray will say you are a good woman?

If u still decide to wallow in ur misery, pls close ur legs and stop allowing that man to eat his cake n have it.

The Lord is your strength either ways.

Are u aware that all around the world,people are being killed based on the doctrines of islam?

Like it's all over, people whether muslims or Muslim fanatics are killing pple.

There is no sect that can come out n say Jesus said we shld kill people.

And so if there are pple that have been asked to kill in the name of their god, what is the possibility that there aren't people who have been asked to islamize Nigeria?

The bible didn't ask you to sit in self denial and ignorance either. This your submission is ridiculous.

tdayof:
Enough of all these religious issues. I'm a Christian and my Bible didn't ask Me to blame people and be self centered.
You're all full of biased mind. You are a Christian but your way of living doesn't prove so.

Nb:I'm a Christian

Actually, I am not concerned about what he or she is doing. I am more worried about the mentality of some of the female elements on the thread.

Mayflowa:
You should be more concerned of what she has given him to make all these happen

A man went out and cheated on his wife to the extent of spending over N23m on a car for another lady... who knows what else he has given her and some women are here blaming the wife for not making time? #shitsweshldstopsaying

See as person dey form literature on top wetin 'dumbo' type. E pain u sha...

Another really sad and pathetic response.

ziccoit:
If you had been the one would the National Assembly have had a session because of you to condemn the act and ask for justice? Would they have invited CG for questioning? Would anyone have heard about you being attacked? This is an issue of the rich and influentials trying to protect one of their own when she was not the first and won't be the last to suffer such from the men in the uniform.

What did National Assembly do when the video of cadets punishing two young civilians went viral?

A pathetic response indeed.

ziccoit:
One of them was hit and they started shouting. What about the downtrodden that have been manhandling by the men in uniform everyday in this country? I don't pity this woman, she has only been served the dose of what pubic has been enjoying this while.

Like seriously? When Skales needs a new kidney or even to treat a common ailment, I hope fellow musicians or even his music can heal him.

MrPresident1:
[size=20pt]Make una dey there dey waste una time, 11 years ko 50 years ni.

Under 6 years Skales don buy big house and big motor, dey dia dey look

Mumu, you wan go spend 11 years to learn fake medicine [/size]

Whilst you are the resident saint. Nice!

STFUareyouGod:
That's how they've successfully frustrated me out of church. My house is now my church and my church is my house


"They asked me why I don't go to church no more
Cause church is the new club and wine is the new bub
And lies is the new drugs
My sister the next stripper, my brother the next victim
My usher the next tricker" - A$AP ROCKY

He must be a very loathesome person for writing that garbage.

TeamSimple:
You have made no point.

So sad
