How to See Everything Facebook Knows About You
Looking for Facebook Advertising for your Business? Facebook is free. Yeah right! If your Facebook account is free, then you’re the product.
Let me rephrase that. The information which you give to Facebook & your digital activities like posts, likes, shares & uploads on Facebook are mined into structured data which is used by advertisers to show you targeted ads.
This is the digital age where data is precious. Computer programs and machine algorithms are getting better and better to show us relevant ads. I see a day when the system will know things in advance about what we need next!
If you are an advertiser this post will help you discover all targeting options that are available on Facebook. This information will help you plan & reach the right audience and make your marketing more effective. Your imagination on how to use this information is the only variant*
