Best way to approach building a Facebook audience these days?

Hello there,

Thanks for taking a moment to check out my thread.

I've dabbled in Facebook advertising in the past, and I'm trying to get back into it in a bigger way.

Before, it seemed like being super detailed and really creating a very targeted audience was the way to go.

I've tried that, and my ads didn't go anywhere. (They got very few clicks)

Then I tried a super broad audience with one interest. As a result, my ad for employment with our organization received many clicks.

And, retargeting not audience has seemed to be a very productive approach.

I started researching online, and it seems these days, very broad targeting, then re-targeting audiences or look-alike audiences is the best way to go.

Could someone give me some pointers on the best way to create a Facebook audience these days?

    Before I reply to your question, could you explain what you mean here? Do you mean retargeting "that" audience has seemed to be a very productive approach?

    I know how I built an audience, but it wasn't targeted at all. It was very broad, like worldwide, had a simple 'feel good' image and message, and it was only for likes on my new fan pages so I could repost my helpful Youtube videos on them that I'd put up and give google/youtube social proof.

    I'd love to read the answers that come in for you.

      Thank you so much for the quick reply. I appreciate it.

      What I meant with that statement was retargeting the broad audience was very successful. I do not remember exactly what the characteristics of the audience was.

      Can anyone tell me how to look up the characteristics of an audience you used?

      Thanks

    To effectively build a Facebook audience, start by defining your target audience based on demographics, interests, and behaviors. Use Facebook's Audience Insights tool to collect valuable data. Craft compelling and relevant advertising content that resonates with your audience, highlighting unique value propositions.
