After seeing many people are giving ads in Facebook, I am also thinking about this. What is your opinion guys, do Facebook ads really works well in bringing visitors and clients?

Yes, sure it's works. But for some niches it works better, for another - worse. And it depends on your ads, landing pages, and others. Tell us what is your goal and we will try to help you.
 
Sure thing it works. I am not into Facebook ads but I'm sure that compared to buying likes (outside Facebook), Facebook ads would be the most legit way to gain likes/followers.
 
I have used the Facebook ads before and spent over $200 and had some views, but no conversions. I feel it was a huge waste in my opinion.

its very useful to give a ad in facebook.....but the conversion rate will depends on yr business...but i will suggest u to give a ad on google...it will much better than it.:)
 
if you are going to target specific audiences base on ages, sex and interest. I believe facebook somehow works but keep in mind those people in the social media network aren't there to browse products so these ads are distractions to them at some point. people on facebook probably just want to catch up with friends and family. Some probably looking for singles to date.

Yes of course, but that doesn't mean that it will bring conversions too, you should not rely on facebook alone.
Facebook ads is the first step, marketing strategies should be the next.
 
So far we have tried a few Facebook possible campaigns - for clicks and for page likes. As for page likes it was really useful as we have generated thousands of page likes in a few weeks. However, this is only for number as those who liked the page probably are not so engaged into our services. Another thing that needs to be mentioned here is that talking about the conversions this not worked very well and the conversion price seems to be too high. So in general, the effectivity of Facebook ads depends on your purposes - if its for the number of likes and etc. - that's fine. But if you are looking for conversions it might be pretty difficult and expensive.
 
Google Ads converted and Facebook Ads only brought like and spammy comments. Im pretty sure Facebook is a waste of time. Have spent various amounts of money on different niches and all didn't convert. Never again for me.
 
In the business world, it is always trial and error methods. Because what may work for one person doesnt really work the same for the other person. Thus, give it a try and assess the results for continuation.
 
I think that your success depends on the targeting your campaign. If you know your targeted audience you will be able to get some good profit from the Facebook ads.
 
Sometimes they work sometimes they dont but if you are just starting on with ads i would suggest using another site to buy from like 7search or bing

I think this has a lot to do with what you are selling and the niche that you are in. In some cases, you might see a lot of ads on Facebook, but how many of these are working will depend. I think a lot of people go into Facebook advertising because they have been told this is the only way for you to make some money and to advertise online. Of course Facebook wants you to think this way because this is the method they can use in order to make some money. You need to take an objective look at your own business model and decide what is going to work the best for your needs.

Do not just go into Facebook because someone else is doing it. This process might work well for them, but they might be in the section of the industry that it works well for them. You could end up shelling over a lot of money if this is not working for you. In my experience, even though there are a lot of accounts on Facebook, most of these people are not even looking at ads that are on there. Facebook will count these as a reach, but you did not make any sales from the work.

So take the time to look at some of your market and see if it is going to work. Have others in your industry had success. If you find that this is a failure for most of them, it is probably a bad idea to try it out on your own. This does not mean that you cannot find some other social media sites that are going to provide you with a great way to reach the customers. Twitter can work, Pinterest. If you are using Facebook, make sure that you are using the right ads that will work for your business and not just a blanket policy that will waste a lot of money.

If you are not good with advertising and do not know how all of this is going to work, consider hiring a marketing manager. They can do all this hard work for you and save a lot of time.
