Wow, you are the first person to say this. I am so tired of wasting my money! Thank you

[@DerekVidell]

You got it! Check my recent videos for more direct instructions on how to work Ads manager.

[@hotfootrabbit]

I'm not looking to sell a product or service though. Just wanna drive traffic and build an audience with people who naturally engage with content.

[@DerekVidell]

Then you can achieve that through boosting although there would still be some advantages to doing so with ads manager instead

[@Prof.Albusdumbledore]

@@DerekVidelllike what?

[@Relentlesssocietyy]

@@DerekVidell?? Yah why lol

[@Plataoplomo12]

I don’t see the video for launch and ad with me

[@ottomanbeatsofficial]

how can i run facebook ads on a existing instagram reels for video views and followers instead of having that existing post run as a seperate ad instead of working on the video on my feed?

[@DerekVidell]

At the last step of creating an ad in ads manager you’ll select “Use Existing Post” instead of creating a new one

[@ottomanbeatsofficial]

@@DerekVidellthats what i did. But it still ran as its own. Even though it was the same video/reel from my feed

Could I use boost post to drive traffic to a business page at least? Or is it worth it more to just spend money on Ads?

[@nesrinbachir2985]

Hi Derek Ads Manager App no longer supports AD Creation what are the other Meta Tools I can use ? Are you still offering complimentary AD consultation ?

[@DerekVidell]

The ads manager app has never supported ad creating it’s just for watching stats. Yes I am

[@mazrumercury6267]

Question....if i just want view on my post...is it worth it??no business related i just want more view

[@DerekVidell]

Just more views and you don’t care where they come from go for it!

[@TraceyBurks]

I would love to book a complimentary Consult...the link above is no longer active. Do you have another?

[@MOTIONKIDD0021]

What should I do I want to build a following and get lots of views and followers and eventually make a big community for all of my following to connect and talk not really trying to sell anything but I want to go viral enough to build a big following

[@DerekVidell]

Focus on creating viral content and not paying to go viral. If it can’t go viral on its own those views won’t convert to followers anyways

[@mastershan87]

I have an artwork instagram with 3 followers i want to eventually sell t-shirts but right now it seems like a boost or two will at least get some engagement and followers so i don't like a ghost account. Is that a bad strategy? Couldn't it help my organic growth if i have more likes and comments and followers? Can't the people with no income still help me in that way?

[@DerekVidell]

There’s no need to get a handful of followers to build credibility in your brand. Just put “The Brand New Art Project Inspired by ____” or something of the sort in your bio so your following makes sense and don’t do something like boosting a post that will have lasting repercussions on your account

[@MOTIONKIDD0021]

So what do I do just post thousands of videos until I start to get engagement

[@lizmoralesphotographer]

Thank you for this video, are you still available to book a call meeting? Willing to compensate for your time.. thank you

[@DerekVidell]

Absolutely! First ones on the house: calendly.com/igmsecrets/sales

[@nom5808]

Hey man, great video. Question: you said if you boost posts you basically get people with no disposable income/link clickers. But if you do an ads manager campaign with a low budget, will this be the same case? Or does ads manager recognized a campaign as more legit and therefore shows it to active online shoppers? I guess an example would be if you boosted a post for $5/day for 6 days vs doing an ads manager campaign for $5/day for 6 days (both with conversion goal). Any insights would be appreciated!! Keep up the great content.

[@DerekVidell]

Hey! Yeah if you spend $5/day in Ads Manager on a sales campaign it will get spent better, In fact, spending $5/day for 10 days will perform better than if you spent $50/day for one day. This is because it will be more selective of who it shows your ad to since it is trying to use your $5 sparingly when it will make the most impact. $5/day is low enough that the issue you'll more run into is that it won't show to people at the frequency necessary to typically get sales. I would go with $10-$20 per ad set per day at the minimum for a sales campaign.

[@nom5808]

@@DerekVidell thanks a lot for the info mate! But why is ads manager superior to boosting if the budget and duration is identical? I’m not sure if my question makes sense, but I’m curious if there is an answer. Because if you have a high budget for boosting, wouldn’t meta respect that and show it to people that will convert?

[@shonaphillips7577]

I have a brick and mortar. I’m just trying to get exposure and people into my store

[@DerekVidell]

Don’t boost a post then! It will be all the wrong people

[@dandiaconu2896]

I just boosted my account, 1 post after a week, with 30 dollars - 6 days of 5 dollars. The post did well. 13k reaches, but I feel now I don't get traffic to my reels. Some get like 20 likes in the first 10 minutes but then suddenly no more likes or barely views increase. Could it be related to me boosting that post previously ? Shall I redo my account ?

[@DerekVidell]

There’s theories that once you show Facebook you’re willing to pay for views that they limit your organic reach to keep you doing it. Sounds a little malicious to me than what I think they would do but I wouldn’t restart your account, just keep posting through it. A bad few posts isn’t enough to sound the alarm
