I don’t have a specific number of people I’d like to reach. Obviously, since I am paying for it, I would like to maximize my investment in advertising. At the moment, it is for the experience of trying something out and seeing how it runs. I didn’t do much research into placing FB ads, partially because I am one of those people who casually tosses the manual aside when opening up a box. The other half is that I wanted to explore without any preconceptions as to what/how it might go.

In looking at the data today, I can say that the switch in targeting interests has created more clicks on the ads, but about the same amount of people ‘liking’ me. However, this is very preliminary data since it’s only been going for a couple of days. So, early indications about effectiveness are there, but people taking action after that is still up in the air.

Do you have a goal, Andy? I mean I guess the goal is learning about facebook ads and what does and doesn’t work, but do you have a specific number of people you’re hoping to catch with this?
