Quick Facebook Question

[AllTheGold]

Hey Guys,

I've decided to spend a few days learning how Facebook works/feels. I've run into something I found very odd, and would like to know if anyone has any thoughts on it.

I threw $20 at a campaign to get used to the FB interface tonight, and I've received $20 in clicks at ~.75CPC. However, when I look at the Unique Visitors/Clicks stat, it shows that they're all from the same three people! WTF?

Is this standard, or do a couple of guys just REALLY like the girl I'm using?

Disregard this guys. It turns out Facebook's slow to update the uniques. Everything seems normal.

I don't think facebook ads work well for turning a profit. They are used more for creating brand recognition and such by big companies. Or getting some traffic, not necessarily conversion. If you figure out how to get it to turn a profit, then props to you and take advantage of the niche!

Totally agree, Facebook ads often boost visibility more than direct sales. For something like christmas catering leeds office, word of mouth and targeted local outreach usually bring better results.

Big brands use them for awareness, sure, but smaller setups can be profitable if the numbers are tight and testing is done properly. It’s not easy, but it’s doable.
