Facebook advertising just got my money twice... without me knowing how. I've come to the conclusion that online courses are not for me. I've learned a lot since I've been required to take time to read and do my homework in this class.... however, hands-on lab time would be more beneficial for me.
I've put off doing this week's homework because it is very confusing for me. Obviously, if I want to do any advertising in the future, I need to do lots of research or find someone to walk me through the steps.
Facebook ads allow for page promotion, post promotion and I think you can design an ad, but wasn't able to find where to do it.
As for Twitter, I have no interest in using it or advertising on it.
Hi Dee,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that Facebook got your money. I had the same problem - not being able to get a view of the ad before paying - so I just took a screen shot with the ad details and put that on my post,and then got out of the ad design area.

I had a hard time getting organized for this assignment too Dee, you were not alone -
ReplyDeleteFacebook was a bit confusing for me to when trying to set up the ads - I did like Alexandra, and I just took a screen shot of the ad details page and didn't finish the final step(s).
As far as the ads being passive in your more recent post - I agree they kind of are passive - but the key is to make them interesting for your readers to want to engage with them.
That takes some creativity and hopefully a growing social following, which I don't feel I am succeeding at very well with my project, and the Sabrina Keller Foundation yet..
- I think My Foundation needs to try to reach out with more Tweets on Twitter and some Calls to Action-
I think your plans to use the "Ask a Real Estate Question" seems like a great creative idea to me - maybe you can change your weekly class blog into this same theme (with some blogs answering common RE questions) - when your done with this semester's class work. Good Luck RE business.
Thanks for the feedback, it's good to see the issues, since this is a new class. I agree Dee- I teach this series shortened, at adult ed schools and have half lecture half workshop each night for this exact issue. Maybe MiraCosta will offer the real in class eventually.
