Facebook Ad’s To Grow Your Friends List

We spent a couple of days work shopping and master minding on how to effectively “engage” on Facebook We talked about how to use your Business Page and your Personal Page in conjunction with each other By doing so we can we promote our “Brand” in a way that does not FEEL like constant commercials for your business

Your Facebook Formula insures you stay engaged Posting on your business page and sharing to your personal allows you to bring your Brand to the forefront But what about growing the audience How do you add more people to your lists of RE Partners or Clients

Use Facebook Ad’s to target people just like those you are already “friends” with You can even drive traffic to your website of people who are similar to your “friends” Use promoted posts or boosted posts so you are delivering “cool” content to the right people

First things first Create a post on your business page (posting for greatness) Monday is my motivational post day, great for posting to the business page and sharing to the personal right?

Next you need to create a “custom audience” of your current friends **This is NOT a 100% science** In reality it is about 50% accurate We are not just going to serve our ad to this audience But it will allow us to create a custom demographic based on this audience

Go to (or navigate from the FB control panel, however is easiest for you) Select Audiences from the Tools menu

Facebook understands the Power in custom audiences They know that the lists of people are a businesses best prospects and clients They now prompt you to either create and ad for those perfect prospects, OR Make an new audience of people who are very similar to those who you KNOW are awesome…… Look Alike Audience
