Hi everyone
I wanted to share a tip that helps me and will help anyone using Facebook ads to avoid wasting more money on ads.

1- Your ads must be running for at least 2-3 weeks
2- Create a new campaign (select the suitable ads and add them to one campaign)
3- Select look-a-like audience and select the following.
select Facebook as the source and select the page or pages you run the ads on.
- Select everyone who likes your pages, and do the same if you have more than one page and name it for example ( 9/28 Likes ), and save, you will get the option to create looks like the audience, and select 2 and put the trigger at 4 and 2 make sure it's 5million and more.
This way you will avoid advertising to the people who liked your page and also sent you a message,
But if you'd prefer to target the same customers with new products, offers, or deals, you should leave who messaged you and who liked your page in the included advertisement.

In your ad's audience, leave the look a like audience and it should be 2 lines and exclude who liked your page.

Do the previous step and select who sent you a message and also exclude who sent you a message already

I Tried my best to explain the best way it cut my spending and also help me target new people all the time and avoid spending money on the same people.
If you have a question, please feel free to leave a comment and I will try to respond ASAP
Thank you

You're welcome :)

Yes I do share what I have tried, but also you must know you should make some changes according to your ads, for example, if you're selling products and you did good, you can advertise to the same people different products or similar products.
For service its good to avoid who contacted you, it depends on how your service lasts, for example if people order it once a year so avoid who contacted you, but if they order it once every 3 months, you can set the look-a-like audience to avoid only the last 90 days people who messaged you.
Best of luck for everyone
 
In my opinion, the most optimal issue is still media and content
The second problem is that the account is strong enough for the campaign to operate continuously
 
Consider diving into Facebook's targeting features to find new audiences, and keep a close eye on how your ads are doing to tweak them for better results. Trying out A/B testing with various ad designs could also be a smart move to get more bang for your buck and connect with fresh faces.
 
I think it also depends on you content. We has scanned a lot because of the media and the content. Also note that your account have to be strong and healthy enough when running BH. Anw, thanks for your sharing
 
Plus, advertisers often let an ad run for too long without upgrading or researching new content and creatives to reach more viewers. Using the same type of creative and content, with only slight changes in interface and structure, also causes Facebook bot to repeat ads on one audience without spreading them to new audiences
 
I think it depends a lot on the media and content you publish. Next is whether the account power you use is strong enough to run continuous campaigns. However, thanks for your sharing
 
I will try it, there were a few times where 2 campaigns I created were a total failure, I did not spend that much money but still I lost money, so far I being doing decent no good but anything to improve is welcome, thank you for sharing!
