I've been using paid ads to try and gain more Facebook followers, but I haven't had much success. I've also tried using fan-gated giveaways with Rafflecopter but again not much luck. Any tips or advice?<p>EDIT* I guess what I'm really asking is for advice on how to setup an effective Facebook ad campaign.
This may sound short-sighted, but I used to run campaigns which involved liking pictures shot in a booth of you with a pretty "booth" lady in Facebook, and it seems to do the trick. (Note: FB has TOS regarding running campaigns with images and you might want to check that first).<p>Do note that my target demographic are male developers in general. And it occurred to me that such campaigns give people the "social right" to like a picture of a hot chic (because it is part of a contest after all). Meaning, you won't get flakked for randomly liking a picture of a hot chic because you're doing it to win something.<p>Anyway it was successful only to some extent, because as some folks mentioned here, Content will always be king. The campaign I mentioned needs to be followed up with consistent and "real" engagement.
