MenuCan I run FB Ads to my launchrock website to see how many people are interested in giving me their email address?
I read that you should curate a following on facebook before your crowdfund launch, but I won't have much of a following, I was wondering IF I could advertise on facebook and have the landing page be my launchrock page? Is that allowed by facebook? or would I have to send them to a landing page that says enter your email to win or whatever. Thanks

Yes, you can send FB ads to anywhere you want (landing page, webpage, whatever). You just need to have a business FB page to advertise.
You can utilize Facebook ads to measure interest from the target market you think would utilize what you are creating.
A landing page showcasing how your product can solve a consumers pain points followed by an option to receive updates via e-mail about the product would be the best direction to start with in my opinion.
Also, remember that not everyone will sign up for your interest list so you'll want to setup a Facebook Pixel and then an audience. By doing this you can later send out a completely different Facebook ad to everyone who viewed the page regardless if they provided information or not.
Hope this helps!
You can advertising on FB to drive people to your website to signup on your lead page as one option. You can also drive them to your website and then popup a box asking for their name and email address. You can also use what are called Facebook Lead Ads, which allow you to advertising on Facebook and just popup a lead form or contact form right on Facebook without them having to leave Facebook and go to your site. In this instance, the form is pre-populated with their Facebook contact information which is nice, and these ads can be targeted to either a targeted audience on Facebook based on interests, to your Facebook page like (fans), and/or to your email database that you had previously, which you can upload into Facebook to create what's called a Custom Audience. Each more or less has it's advantage. For instance, when you drive them to your website you can give them more information before they give you their contact info. In the instance of Facebook Lead Ads you attempt to get their info right away so it quicker.

What will happen if I bid lower than the recommended price for Facebook ads?
It's actually very smart to do it the way you are doing it. We do this all the time and have tested it extensively. What you want to do is to see if your ad is getting enough "reach" at the 20 cent click level. Reach is the amount of times your ad is shown. If there aren't many others bidding, you can bid pretty low and still get lots of reach. However, if your ad isn't getting shown much, you'll know that you should raise your ad price. Make sure you also test using Optimized CPM versus paying for clicks as well. Hope that helps.PG

What is the difference between #topics and precise interests when choosing audience on Facebook ads?
Topic targeting is a broad way of targeting people who've expressed interest in that topic or "related topic". It's a good option if you want to create awareness, do branding or generate likes. But when your end goal is sales/leads - it's good to go for precise interests as that's like exact match - and it ensures that you're reaching only those people which you're actually targeting - not related ones.KS

Is it foolish to post a Kickstarter campaign for a SaaS that is primarily for businesses (not consumer oriented)?
It's not foolish, but it's going to be extremely hard to pull it off. I would consider starting with a beta program so you can have some paid clients to pay for the company's expenses. After you have some traction, you can raise a seed round.RD

What is the best advertising platform for generating revenue for a skincare startup (1 product offer)?
Hi There are Facebook advertising techniques that would allow you to target competitors followers, related beauty or skincare pages followers then target them with your advert going to a landing page with a buy now unmissable offer to capitalise on your conversions. Because most people do not buy first time, I would then re-target them with the offer on their Facebook newsfeed so they do not forget you, adding to your conversion. Facebook is by far the cheapest for adverts Google would be crazy prices for this type of product. You could also look at placing with affiliates and let them do all of the marketing work and your cost would be fixed, but there is a lot of competition for affiliates in this sector so maybe difficult. If done right on Facebook with a laser targeted campaign with landing page you should be looking at $0.25 to $0.30 per 1,000 views with a decent conversion making the cost per conversion very low. When you target people you know would be interested in your product it is always best to do a CPM campaign rather than a CPC as this is a waste of money, if launching this product there is no market price other than competitors products so you can show it as a high price then do a landing page with a launch offer only available for a limited time with a count down clock, even offer referral discounts if they share on Facebook. Hope this helpsMM

When launching a product on Kickstarter, how and when do you get press coverage?
It's all about building a relationship with these journalists and bloggers. You want them in your pocket long term. Ultimately, they are usually interested in the same things as you, which gives you a chance to connect on a deeper level and make an online friend. If you make a friend, then maybe they can even introduce you to their other journalist friends when the time is right. Ps: when you finally do send them your stuff, keep it short and make sure your visuals get the point off without them needing to read a description. Visual storytelling is huge.
