    Definitely ads. No doubt about it. I'd imagine promoted posts are more for directing users to links, although I haven't had much success with them

    Promote a post all day every day. At least that is my experience after spending tens of thousands on FB ads.

      You think I would get more likes that way? I'm not looking to engagement but only likes

        Probably not.

        I mean a Like campaign is designed specifically to get Likes

        A promoted post is designed specifically to get engagement on a post, which leads to hopefully shares, likes, comment, and hopefully clicks wherever you want people to go.

        You'll get likes by default. Even with promoted posts, I've gotten likes on some campaigns for .02 - .05 per like.

        I can live with that.

        Although, likes are not at the top of my list of what I want from my promoted posts, but I get them anyway.

      why so I can get a bunch of bullshit likes that I won't be able to engage?

      I'd rather spend the money with Facebook to grow a real responsive audience

      Fake likes will come back to bite you. Even if you are just using them as a means to entice responsive likes.

    Definitely ads, unless what you're promoting is VERY sharable. Even then a significant amount of likes are not guaranteed.

    Do ad's and test different images and copy,

    Good Luck!
