Have you used Facebook's ads successfully?

It seems Facebook ads are not a good option from the profitable point of view, but maybe am wrong?

Has any of you experienced instructors used them successfully????

No Akerdisei Facebook ads will not help to drive you sales because you will be not having 25k friends. You understand what I mean

Please give a like if you got the answers.

The number of friends you have isn’t relevant to Facebook ads. That’s what makes ads so scalable.

Please would it be possible to get a few tips from such a great instructor??

  

I have seen your courses and posts: you seem to be a real master of the marketing online, the real deal!!

HELPPP!!!

I appreciate the sentiment,  but I wouldn’t go that far.  I just know my way around paid ads and how to navigate the buying cycle.  

I’ve made several posts in here about the general strategy for social media ads. If you search around, you’ll come across them.

I will look for them thanks a lot indeed!!!

Facebook Ads are basically 'interruption marketing'.

The idea is that if you interrupt enough people you will eventually find customers.

But people don't like being interrupted.

So that is why it is better to focus on being found when your customer comes looking for you.

Inserting yourself into the search stream of people who are already engaged in looking for the solution you want, is a much better tactic.

Create a blog, create a presence on YouTube, create a useful group, all of these can be done with a time investment and will bring you interested parties that are looking for answers to their problems, which you can solve for them...

If you use facebook ads to bring direct sales you will at best break even. They may be more useful for raising interst, curiousity, driving people to your website or blog etc but in general Udemy instructors do better through focusing on course content creation and sending discount coupons to their existing community of students.
