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
You're right about people hitting us up for free clothing. I've sent a couple things to a few people, but some people unfollowed when I told them we were out.

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 :mjlol:
I used to work for a web developing company that managed Google Ads. One of our clients called us upset because he was getting calls for his business from NY and Georgia and we in Cali.

Dude ran a live auction company.

Apparently somebody set his ads to be shown in all 50 states:mjlol:

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.

Why isn't your website live? :dwillhuh:

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.

If you don't mind me asking, whats your average monthly marketing expenditure?:feedme:




Would that 800 have been your normal 3mos spread, or was it just a lot for that specific item/promotion? :patrice:

When I’m paying attention to my ads, On aversge, I’m spending between 75 to 100 a month on ads, running two or 3 a day at $1 a piece. So, obviously, I was stunned when that bill came.

Ultimately, my goal is to stop running ads once the algorithm has keyed in on my engagement metrics and is able to successfully target those in the demo I’m after. I only run them because Instagram’s algorithm is so punishingly difficult to game.
