1. Facebook Ads
One thing that you really need to know is that, if you have a brand that people want to follow, you probably need to do advertising.I highly recommend that anybody that has an advertising program should have one for building the size of their community, and then another one for Macro and Micro
What I mean by Macro is that, If you're individual business and you're looking to drive revenue to your website, then you should have an ads strategy that does that through Facebook ads.
You should also have a Micro goal. When I say micro, I mean something that capturing somebody email address or getting somebody to the website, just so you can do remarketing later on.
Facebook is awesome for capturing email address, and you can use email for so many different things, you can use email to remarketing to people, to target people through Gmail, for Google Adwords, content remarketing, you email this person your latest blog post over and over again, so they can see you as a top leader in the space.
When you're running Facebook ads, you're going to do that through the following
