(http://davewoodson.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/FacebookFan-150x150.png) Facebook Ad Success I started a business page for mynorthwest Indiana real estate (http://facebook.com/buynwi) business. I added content to it, invited friends and prayed that it would grow, and it did in drips and drabs. I decided one day to start buying ads, and I am seeing some real success. Here is what I am doing: * $5/day budget - been seeing 3 to 7 "likes" a day * did my first promoted post - saw a jump today of 8 to 10 "likes" I know these are just "likes", but soon they will be leads. I think I just got another episode ideas - "Turning Likes into Leads" Here is what else I am doing: * I am updating often - at least, one time a day * sticking the topic and staying on top of industry news * when I do post - I try to post at certain times of the day like early AM, late AM and mid-to-late afternoon * almost always use a picture or some sort of visual the tool that I find most useful is called SnagIt! from Jing List Building One of my 2013 goals is to build a list for both DaveWoodson.com and BuyNWi.net. I am toying with several applications to use on Facebook. I will be on a list building mission for the rest of the year and as long as I own a business. more on list building in the weeks and months to come.
