Visit the ParaCore AcademyIf you’re ready to get into Facebook advertising, what are your options?
In this article, we’ll talk about the positives and negatives of each path you can take!
Option One: Do-It-Yourself
It’s the most time-consuming, but also the most affordable, right? Plus, exploring and testing will give you a good handle on how the ad platforms work.
Alternatively, I recommend signing up for a Facebook course by Jon Loomer or Rick Mulready.
These courses can be a couple of hundred dollars, but taking some sort of organized, guided training, with a community where you can get answers, is the best way to start if you’re running it yourself.
Option Two: Look for a Freelancer
Freelancers are typically the most affordable kind of outsourced solution.
Generally, you can find help on the lower end of expenses, plus you’ll be working with someone who knows what they’re doing. So that is a reasonable entry point into the market when you’re running Facebook ads.
Where do you find a freelancer? Consider a platform like Upwork, which gives you access to freelancers around the world. When you post your job, people bid on it, and you go from there!
Option Three: Go Automated
You might be able to work with an automated system that’s industry-specific.
For example, the real estate industry has ad platforms where you sign up and they distribute the ads for you based on your geographic targeting, messaging, and other factors.
This means you don’t really need to do all the setup and the targeting!
A con is that they run ads for a lot of real estate agents, so uniqueness might be an issue.
Option Four: Hire an Agency
Definitely the most expensive option! But there’s two types of agencies.
One, you have a full-service agency, which offers a lot of different services: branding, PR, paid ads, SEO, etc.
One thing to remember: if you work with a full-service agency, they usually want you to be running a higher ad spend!
In addition, even though they are deemed ‘full-service,’ agencies are only experts in one or two areas, like branding or PR. They’ve added PPC to their list of services, which is often a smaller department with less expertise.
Your other option is to work with a specialist agency like ParaCore, which specializes in one area.
In our case, we just do pay-per-click advertising, which includes landing page development, and building Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, and AdWords ad campaigns.
We’re not the highest or lowest when it comes to cost, but we have the highest level of expertise to offer in this very specific area.
So, in summary, if you’re looking to run FaceBook ads your options are:
-
Do it yourself.
-
Hire a freelancer.
-
Find an automated system.
-
Hire an agency like ParaCore!
