How To Get Instagram Followers With Facebook Ads & Instagram Ads

Thanks for watching guys! Let me know what you think in the comments :)

What if we're just starting out and only have 150 followers on Instagram? Is this the recommended method for gaining followers without a huge audience already?

Do we leave Advantage Lookalike on? I guess that's a new feature since this video.

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Ben, love your videos they are so helpful. I tried doing this and got a lot of link click but none of them followed me. Anything I could do to make them to follow?

Hello @BenHeath thanks a lot for the precious tips & videos. Of course I follow you everywhere 💯
Question : In order to be updated, is your proposal still valid for placements only in Instagram stories or should we also put reels or other things also ?
Thanks in advance for your response!

Try zooming the screen next time this isn't obvious to see

Hey Ben- hope you see this. I tried this method today and while it appears I'm getting a lot of link clicks from my desired audience, I can't tell if I'm getting any follows. I'm using my IG profile as the destination URL in my story ads. Is there a way to be sure the clicks are actually being directed to my profile? I would have expected many more follows for the amount of clicks I've been getting, as well as compared to how many follows I get when I boost posts.

Facebook was giving me not likes on my ads. Why is that!?

Hi Ben I tried this tactic and the results are poor. Anyway I need to make the client feel like his money hasnt gone to the drain so I am just going to buy like 2000 fake followers and run engagment campaigns in his insta doing give aways.

I think, it’s not available anymore?

It is asking my for a conversion event?

Hi Ben,
We have a brand-new IG account with less than 50 followers. We ran the FB page likes campaign and got over 1500 likes/followers.

Right now, our source audience is too small to use the method you discussed above.

Instead, could we use a LAL audience based on people who liked our FB page?

HI Ben
Do we do the same in 2023?

If we exclude the allready followers? Is that good?

Does this still work Ben?

I can't create a lookalike audience because I have fewer than 100 people in the same country. What should I do?

is this video still up to date? is it still useful?

When I try to create a look alike audience it says that my source is too small. Can you please help?

Thanks!

Thank You very much, you are a great Coach, a lot of values was taught in that video. I also sent my THANKS Donation to pay respect.

This was helpful.. Thanks

I can’t use the similar audiences function. It’s a bit weird

I selected the video of the ads I had run from my Instagram account and I got over 28k reach and over 15k engagement but yet nothing up to 7 reflected on the ig post I picked, no comment, no likes whatsoever. Please what could be the problem. I need help

Hi! How can I measure the followers gained by this particular campaign?

Hey Ben, I kept avoiding this video because I figured it was 2 years old.
Finally came around to it, and it is so so relevant!

Thank you my man, you have helped me a great amount.

Do Link Click ads still work? Or is it all just bots?

Hey Ben, is this still the best way to get Instagram followers via meta ads? Or is there a new campaign or twist for 2022? Thank you!

Hi Ben! Does anything changed in the matter of collecting the followers? :) Also I wanted to ask you how the IG Reels placement is delivering new followers?

Interesting, thank you for the great video.

this is a course

this guy speaks so much that for a moment there, I thought he's gonna run out of words if he keeps speaking like this... 🤣
loved the approach though.. simple and logical

This was incredibly helpful... You are 100 times more knowledgeable than Facebook's so-called "marketing experts"... that blow up my phone daily and waste my time.

Is this ad manager a site or what??

Hi Ben, I wonder how much it'll cost to run such type of ads, do you have some baseline? Thanks!

Hi Ben, I have followed your ad strategy and it works but I have a question because these days instagram is banning accounts fast.
one of the policy of instagram ads is to mention prices clearly but I don't mention them in my website rather sales call.
and my add doesn't lead to website either but my instagram page.
so would it be fine or it might result into ig ban one day ?

Hi Ben! Awesome content thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! I have just a quick question as to how I can direct people to follow my page rather than my website. When I create the ad it seems my option is to direct people to my website or other options which are not my instagram page...Thanks again!

Hi Ben! Awesome video. Thanks.
When I create an insta story Ad on ad manager and ad my insta url where you put the website. When the people click learn more it takes them to a website of my insta page instead of staying on the actual app. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Hi Ben where is the link to get more Facebook followers you mentioned at the beginning of this video

Hi Ben, thanks for the awesome video! Since I have a new Instagram account and hardly have any followers so I used the broad audience in my niche instead of lookalike audience. However the problem is that my ad is still in review and it's been more than 15 hours. Is that normal when it comes to Instagram ads? or you think there can be a problem? If yes, any advise how can I get my ad approved soon?

is it still good to go for a traffic campaign and select only stories (maybe reels) ?

This works, thumbs up

Hi Ben,
Watching and following a few of your great videos as we have neglected Instagram marketing for our UK based holiday homes business. Following this video, where on earth is the 'Quick Creation' option you talk about? Seeing on one or two other video's this should be the top right corner...however it's not there on our screen. While we could follow what you suggest, many things are in a different order.
I think we got there in the end :)

Hi Ben! I know this video is a year old but I recently used your recommandation for facebook likes ad and it worked great! I'm wondering if this is as efficient for Instagram. Do you have an idea of the cost per follow? Thanks a lot for all your videos!

Hi Ben, please how did you switch to quick creation at the beginning
Thanks

What if you're a rapper or singer? What would that video be, would you add the cta as a caption or say it in the actual video and just talk?

I tried to broaden my lookalike audience but had a warning that the source was too small and i had to choose a country with at least 100 audience members so i stuck with UK :-(

Hi, Ben. Thank you for the sharing. I have a question: We only have 260 followers for now and when I try to create ig lookalike audience, it won't work cause it says at least 100 people from the same country and it tried to locate USA and it works but it shows only 1000 people in my target audience no matter how many percentage I choose to target. What can I do then?
