Facebook advertising

[AJLA]

Any one used this for advertising?

Can this be cancelled at any time?

[AJLA]

Hellooo.... was preparing to do this yesterday as it seemed simple enough although there was one confusion. My personal facebook account is registered with my business email am I right in thinking that people can also view my personal stuff if I advertise my business. I tried to register a new account but it will not allow it from the same email.

[Paul]

cant help with this one. I did not even knew that you can advertise there :)

[AJLA]

Yep, you can add your daily budeget as google ads and it will tell you your possoble hits/views or target market by your keywords used

[Paul]

great! got to try that :)

[AJLA]

Hi Paul, just thought I would update you, I didn't actually do the facebook advertising as anyone could view my personal facebook from it. I tried to re register with another account but I can't from the same email address apparently so i'll have to change my personbal email account and then e do this one. What a pain !

I tried Facebook advertising for a few weeks and it didn't pay (for me). I have got a Facebook fan page which customers can access from my website though. Costs nothing and is a nice way for customers to keep in touch.

[AJLA]

That sounds interesting Lorcan. Just for curiosity you don't have your web add on here?

[AJLA]

Sorry, just noticed it on another thread but can't find it, can you point me in the right direction. Perhaps it's a bit early in the morn for me :oops:

[Lorcan]

My website is www.T-Wiz.co.uk (http://www.T-Wiz.co.uk)

[AJLA]

Oh sorry I went to the bike one. Thanks!

[AJLA]

God it is early and perhaps I should go back to bed as I may be dangerous at work today!
Can I ask...so you don't have a personal account then?

[Lorcan]

I do have a personal account, yes. But it's not linked to my work-based fan page.

[AJLA]

from another email address tho?

[Lorcan]

Yes, separate email addresses.

[AJLA]

Ok thanks thats what I thought, but how can you make a facebook fan page?
I think it's interesting but perhaps more suitable for you as you have it linked more to a hobby where i'm just selling the tees, maybe I could link it to the Conish theme?

[Lorcan]

Log out of Facebook then click on "Create a Page for a celebrity, band or business."

[AJLA]

Thats great thanks!

Having chatted recently with someone from business link she suggested that I put my site on a facebook page, i've discussed this recently but didn't do it as there was a problem with using my email add.

I now have another email but facebook says it isn't valid. Could it be a problem with the .com?

By the way it was also suggested that I use Twitter, which I do and IMHO it's a load of rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone find it useful?

[Kaz]

Can't get to grips with twitter, though I know of a few hardened ebayers that use it when promoting new items and always get sales from it

[AJLA]

No I have few following and got rid of loads, they just bombarded me constantly with ads all day long, I don't have the patience to keep poppin an add on to keep myself bumped up to the top, i'll probably delete it.
