Wow, Facebook Just Got Me For 8 Bands SMH

[I Really Mean It]

Been running ads for my business' Instagram page, promotions for multiple posts we put out during the day. For some, I just run an add for $2 or $3 dollars a day, usually limiting the duration to one or two days. But, for some whose reach is more important, I'll set the expense to $20 or $30 a day, with the duration toggled for 30 days. I never intend to let the ad run that long, but I've figured out that it's a way to game Instagram's algorithm. The higher your daily expense is set, the greater your initial reach will be. After half a day, or even less, I'll cancel the promotion, after earning thousands of impressions and receiving a few dozen follows. Sometimes, because of how many ads I run, I forget that I still have some in the premium running in the background. Unfortunately, tonight, I learned how painfully expensive that can be. Just got charged $870 for my June expenses. I mean, it's helping me grow, but damn if that doesn't hurt.

Yeah breh you gotta be careful with that. My company manages social ads because there are so many idiots (no offense) that dont know what they're doing

I know a guy that ran an ad for a local business in all 50 states. Somebody in Wisconsin telling him to come through and homie running a lil store in GA

[Stick Up Kid]

I thoughts bands meant 1k but damn still

I never run ads more than a day at a time

How much do you usually spend? a couple dollars?

Are you selling things / getting roi or are too just getting followers ?

i run ads for articles for my blog but the money i get from Adsense offsets it each month and i get followers/impression etc in the meantime

I dont know why ppl want FB ads so much. They are low converting and ppl want big discounts or free products to even follow up. If you have not, look into ManyChat so you can grow your own list

Edit: only 800 ? Nah man. You good

I haven't launched my website yet, so I'm not selling anything. I use it to promote previews of the clothing, look book shots of models wearing it, and other images evoke the emotions we feel are related to our brand's message. It's generated thousands of new followers for us since we started it in January. But, you're right, in that there's no proof these followers will be customers when the site launches. The ROI could be lower than we anticipate. I hope not.
