Why you shouldn't hit "boost post" on Facebook and what to do instead!

[@riccardotropeano]

Spot on advice in this tutorial. Turning a good post into an ad is the secret sauce. I've been pairing this approach with boost app social for maximum impact. It's all about that initial engagement.

[@charlottejonhson]

That app's legit! Adds that extra spice to your social media presence.

[@agat7969]

if people engage to my sponsered ad (made from an exsisting post) will those likes and comments apeare on the original post on my page as well?

[@johndillinger348]

I mean i boosted my post on a song a made and it took my song from 100 views all the way up 3.6k views. So of you're in it for the clout i highly recommend boosting your posts. If you got a spare 10 or 20 bucks its worth it. I even gained a few hundred followers just from boosting my post

[@MelissasCraftingTreehouse]

I just watched your video and I'm trying to do what you said but it's not working. After I select the post and go to create ad, it goes to a blank screen instead of going to the create ad window. I still seem to be on the Ad Manager window. In the upper left hand corner I see the facebook icon, menu lines and the text "Page Posts". I tried it with a few other posts and it did the same thing. Do you have any suggestions. I want to do a quick ad so don't want to have to build it from scratch.

Funny. When I go to Page Post, I get a prompt saying, " You have no pages to advertise for".

[@cf-ry1zo]

I'm not very Facebook experienced but just opening online store so I opened a Facebook account for the store. I followed some groups that would possibly be interested in my store(yoga, hiking, sports). Then, when I checked on account, friend suggestion began flooding with inappropriate pictures, very inappropriate. I have children and, not only do I not want to see that, but can't have them see those. So I deactivated account. Can you tell me how I can have a Facebook account for my business without having it flooded with inappropriate photos? Thanks, I'm just very frustrated and disappointed.

[@valeriehagman4088]

I already did, sold the item and don't know how to delete the add campaign??

[@ThisIsJessPaul]

I'm watching this in 2019 (seeing this was made in 2017), and I'm not understanding what the difference is between boosted and an ad. In a boost, you can pick targeted audience by location, gender, age and interests. I'm wondering if this was an update Facebook made since 2017, because I'm not understanding the advantage of running an ad campaign has over a boosted post.

[@dxsaigon]

Boosted posts are "ads" in a way, but they don't give you much control over who the ads target. In general a boosted post just targets people who are already following your page. A proper "ad" created in the ad manager will let you set whatever kind of targeting, campaign goals, budgets (on click, on impression, etc), as well as targeting other platforms such as instagram if you choose.

[@ThisIsJessPaul]

@@dxsaigon I feel like I've been able to do ALL of that on boost post. I'm trying to get an up-to-date explanation from someone who has recently boosted a post. This info just seems outdated.

[@myeyeglassclub]

@@ThisIsJessPaul I was wondering the same thing. Boosting a post seems to let you target people that are not following you already...maybe she had thousands of follower when she did this video, and was just targeting those people. I myself need to find new people, so boosting seems to make sense

Is there a way I can club these two or more posts and accumulate the likes shares and comments. Although the views of these multiple posts are same. Each time I created a new add campaign I selected the video from my Facebook page thinking that it will accumulate or add to the likes comments and shares my video already has

Can you see comments on an ad (not boosted)? I was told you can't direct the conversation and rebuttal/correct erroneous comments unless it's a boosted post.

[@jessicastansberry]

You can still see comments on ads, you can also reply to those comments.

[@neilkendall5499]

I don't agree. With boosted posts, you can write as much as you want in your post, but with ads the number of characters is very limited so you can't put in much detail. I am not sure it's true that you can't control what people can do on it - I've recently done boosted posts and it asks what you want to achieve, i.e more messages, more post engagement etc. But my main problem with Facebook ads is the limited number of characters you can include in them, which is why I prefer boosted posts.

Couple of questions, what is an ad set and then how long should an ad be?

[@jessicastansberry]

what do you mean by "how long should an ad be?" like the copy or the video? Ads are the bottom level in an ad campaign through facebook; it goes CAMPAIGN > AD SET > AD. The campaign level sets the objective, the ad set level sets the budget and audience and the ad sets the copy + images/video. Hope that helps!

[@TheMadDadReview]

I guess I meant with video, how long should an ad be? I understand everything except for the Ad Set, but it's all good, I'm about to watch your hour long video about FB ads anyway. You're welcome for the watchtime ;-), but seriously, it's something I'm trying to learn how to do better.
