Defining CPC
Short for cost-per-click, advertisers pay based on the number of clicks on their ad
EXAMPLESet your CPC at $0.50/per click 1000 impressions (views) were
served with 50 clicks on your ad
50 clicks X $0.50 = $25.00Your ad campaign costs $25.00
How much can you spend per day on Facebook?
CPC Marketing Tips Start your CPC bid lowMore targeting = more
expensivePay more = your ad targets a
very specific demographic example: women, age 30, Ohio, married
Pay less = your ad targets a broad demographic example: women from the United States

What hypnotic ad headlines can you write?
Good Headline Examples
GOOD AD – qualifies “like” BAD AD - too general
Images With a Human Touch
Ads with people, and especially close ups of faces and eyes tend to get a higher click through rate. Give your ads a human touch!
Maximize Your Image Space
It’s best to upload horizontal (landscape) images to ensure you’re maximizing the space available, which is 110×80 pixels
Transparent Image Backgrounds
Eliminate unnecessary surroundings either by giving it a transparent background or a white one. You don’t want to distract people from what you want them to notice.
Give a Reason to Click LIKE
Give a compelling reason to click: access to promotions (deals, coupons, sweepstakes, contests, giveaways) is the number one reason people become fans
Copy Relevant to Target Audience
135 max characters for body copyTie your target details (likes,
interests or demographics) into your title and/or body copy
An ad targeting users living in the “Bay Area” should use “Bay Area” in the ad copy
More relevant ad copy to audience = more clicks
