Tips with using Facebook adds

[Celsus]

Thanks for this discussion guys, I would also be interested in who to throw money at when I do need to advertise. Perhaps Google ad? They have an extensive analytical system and might be worth a shot.

I've paid for fb ads in the past and honestly never get much out of it. I suppose I've been silly in the past.

Liam[DOUBLEPOST=1455153173,1455068792][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok, so I just wanted to update this thread with my findings.

I re-did my facebook ad. I put up a picture instead of a link, short text, stunning smile the whole thing. Woke up the next day had A NEW 6 likes from 6 different people from the day before. Went to look at youtube no new views OR subscribers from facebook.

So... I don't know whats going on or why these people just wander around facebook liking things but I would say this facebook advertising thing is a little too confusing for me to bother with again.

Anyway thats been my experience.

if you look at the individual post it will say how many people it reached, if it doesn't it means no one clicked the links. I've still not found an effective way to advertise facebook unless you have a friends to advert to, but I keep my personal and work separate so I kind of have a handicap with it

Last I checked it was clicked on 3 times, so that just means they didn't like my content... well two of them did, I did jump a bit today.

Anyway I'm still not so sure how good it is. I'll give it the 7 days and report back.

you should have had a view on the video if they seen it, so I wouldn't write yourself off on it. I wouldn't stop using FB either, I just wouldn't put any money into it. cause people that use it that
visit your channel will naturally go to it, and this is just another way to connect with them on a personal level ^.^

just keep at it, and i'm sure you'll do fine mate.

I think its great to just share with your friends and on my "Public figure" page. Im not sure though if I would spend money on it again though.

Thanks for your comments!!!

I'd rather not annoy my friends with my stuff. I run a gaming channel, most of my friends aren't that type of people. So I'd rather not annoy them with post after post =P

You know what you can do though, I did this and it was a game changer.

I made a group and put all of the friends in it that I wasn't embarrassed to show my videos to, and that I new would go and support me.

Then when I go to show off a new video I just switch to that group and it only shows up to them!

Its perfect, everyone from work has no idea about my channel and I can upload without worrying about it... for now.

lol

I literally only have maybe 3-4 people that would be interested in games, and they're already aware of it =P Not so much embarrased, I act like my videos up close with my friends XD I'm a bit of a rough person.

Oh well you have no need to worry then, I always have insecurities with people in real life seeing my videos.

How much did you pay for the add?

The best workaround with facebook ads is to upload your presentation on facebook and push this video (don't forget to put up a link to your channel in the post. With clear call to action)

I have done a test last year, and upload my best compilation video (gaming channel) the video was short, funny and fast pace, put up a budget of 100€ for 7 days.


The post says (because I'm french)
If you laughed during this video, share it
See you on youtube for even more videos :

The thumbnail is silly and the video quite funny.
1 million people were reached, 400K videos views... Keep in mind that views on facebook doesn't quite work like youtube. A view is count after 3 seconds AND there is the autoplay feature.

2.5k like, 300 comments (each comments were a mention of friends) and 200 share.

The good point was on my youtube channel, 4 days after the ads launched, I was getting 600 subs a days (decreasing progressively to 300 subs 2 days later).

To be honest the process is easy but may be expensive. I could afford it, as the channel revenue is re-use for the channel itself.
The ad works if the videos is really good (well at least by your public standard).

According to the numbers, facebook ads seems effective, I couldn't recommand it though. You have to make a really great videos otherwise you will spending money into the void !
