I would love to know more details on how you advertise your posts.
I failed terribly when tried it and got only one like from few Dollars.
I'll give you an example as it applies to me. I think I already shared with you in PM my fanpage. If not, just shoot me a message so you can see for yourself.
But my site is a news organization, a legit one that I run and manage and am trying to grow.
So on any given day, I have articles about varying subjects and topics.
So what I do is that I sometimes target fans of certain topics that my article is discussing.
Just to give an example of my latest boost, I had written an article about Venus and Serena Williams.
So I targeted U.S. and English of course. Added Venus Williams and her fans. Added Serena Williams and her fans. I kept it this narrow. I even sometimes exclude race and gender to narrow things down even further.
I find that when I do this, I get penny likes and penny clicks to my website because the click through rate percentage is good because I'm targeting folks who actually LIKE (literally and figuratively) what they're seeing on their timeline.
This is my latest campaign that I just turned off yesterday.
Ran this for about 3 days.
Those clicks are likes and reactions. I haven't invited everyone yet but so far got about 400 new likes within the past 3 days from inviting people who liked posts.
Tomorrow I will be updating my other thread with screenshots to show my growth over the past month using this strategy.
I really am tinkering with ads and such. I wish I had the budget to create a post and get 100,000 likes in a day and then set up 100 FB profiles to send out invites. I'm trying to get to 100K fans fast and in a hurry, lol.
And also before FB change things.
