Social Media is one of the most effective ways of advertising nowadays. Facebook as the biggest online network plays important role for marketers because the results of advertising are easy to track and it’s possible to test different campaigns on a small group of users. With this article I’m going to show you how to promote your quiz with Facebook Ad tool.

As the data from the eMarketer shows advertisers worldwide will spend $23.68 billion on paid media to reach consumers on social networks this year, a 33.5% increase from 2014. By 2017, social network ad spending will reach $35.98 billion, representing 16.0% of all digital ad spending globally. That’s a huge numbers.

Moreover, in social media we can see a huge differentiation in the content forms. There are more quizzes, surveys and social apps than you could imagine before. The reason is simple – they boost the engagement of the users.

Before interacting with your audience you have to figure out how to reach them. It may be a challenge so I prepared this:

Short list of a necessary step to promote your quizzes on Facebook

If you’re not sure what is the best choice for you, click on the help link in the top-right corner to get access FAQ, Glossary and Contact form.

For the purpose of this example I will choose the “Boost your posts” because it will work the best on the single post with the quiz.

2. Audience

The first very important part of creating your ad. It will determine who is going to see your promoted post. While considering your audience think about those issues:

  • Who do I want to reach and will they be attracted with my content?
  • What are the features of my ideal audience?
  • What attracts the most my audience?

Now you’re ready to deal with filling the form in:

Location – you can target your audience based on a countries, regions, cities, postal codes,  and even addresses (you can include or exclude certain areas).

Demographic – select the age, gender and the languages of your audience. If you feel like you need to narrow targeting click for “more demographics” to use more information that people provided about theme selves.

Interests – here is the part where you can get really creative. Type the thinks that you think your audience is really interested in. Consider what may be their hobby and which keyword do they use

Behaviors – in my opinion it’s the best option to direct your message to the right people because it links their offline activity (travelling, payments, events attended) with online behavior (usage of different systems or devices).

Connections – here you can choose out of many options connected with different Facebook activities. For ex. Liked Pages, Apps used or event that the user is going to attend.

Decide how much you want to spend and if it’s a daily budget or the whole sum of money for your campaign.

Secondly realize that there are only a couple of rules that you have to obey to get more likes and shares. Remember that what connects readers the most with a story are emotions. Therefore I strongly recommend you to use Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions and write the copy thinking abut the emotions all the time. Think of it as the Darts game where you have to target emotions with words instead of shots.
