A popular analyst has compared teen sex to social marketing. He says you have high expectations for
both, and both tend to be rather big disappointments. Social media in and of itself is not the panacea most people
are looking for. Used wisely, it can become an integral part of your overall marketing strategy, but merely
creating a Facebook page does not generate web site traffic, leads or sales.
Back in the day when the web was quite young, everyone thought having a domain to call home and a
simple web page would transform you into an overnight success with cash bulging from your pockets. Of course, that
was not true, and as more and more individuals and businesses rushed to the Net, it has become harder and harder to
make people find that virtual needle in a haystack.
Facebook can and will help you to generate awareness for your brand, product, service, cause or
company, but learning to use Facebook's ad system is key to your overall success. Just like Google AdWords, there
is a right way and wrong way to approach Facebook advertising. One false step and you risk losing money, time, and
business.
Facebook Ad Explosion is a collection of videos that take you step-by-step through
the ad creation process, showing you and explaining to you, the various options and tools available to you. In
gaining a better understanding how Facebook ads work, you can more accurately target your audience and improve
your results. This helps to stretch your marketing dollars.
Don't let the numbers throw you. Just because there's over 500,000,000 Facebook users doesn't mean
the world is your oyster. Far from it. Depending upon your product or service or cause, and the audience you are
targeting, the size of the potential audience you can reach is actually much smaller. I recently spoke to a
prospect who told me his audience was 2 Billion people!
The videos cover an introduction to Facebook ads, how to research your target market, planning
ahead to make your Facebook ads work, writing your ads so they get approved by Facebook, setting up and testing
your ads (CPC vs. CPM) and how to widen and deepened your relationships with your prospective audience.
