    I tried this directly on Instagram, which I hated doing because of the limited options... I targeted UK and us and got followers at around 35-40 cents per. I was using an existing image on the feed.
    So now since I am now over a thousand followers I will now try your method using that same pic in the stories at lookalike audiences of people that interacted... Will also retarget website visitors and see...
    I didn't think fb would do well since you can have the cta to go to profile.... But will try it out.

  • @robandkarrie

    Two questions - (1) Do you cover anywhere when someone gets "Size too small - must have more than 100 in source" - even though the follower counts and engagement numbers for the IG accounts are well over 100 in one country". and (2) You added the countries in both the creation of the audience, and then added them again when you got back to the ad. Can you clarify as to why? Going back to #1 question above, I managed to (oddly) get it to accept my source by removing all but one country (US), and then it cleared the warning. When I get to the ad and am given the option to add countries again, if I then add those other countries (the ones I had to leave out in the first step), does that essentially work around the issue? Or would I have needed those countries IN the source audience AND the ad audience? Or, is that essentially creating an audience that consists of a lookalike in the US, and then a random non-lookalike-everyone-and-their-brother from those countries added in step 2? If you have any advice, would be greatly appreciated, as that's the only place (so far) that I've gotten stuck.

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.

Is this normal for a lookalike audience of 2.7MM at $20 a day budget? The audience is US, CAN, UK, AUS so I expect a bit more expensive CPC. Definitely don't want to make adjustments at this point but the learning limited signification always gets me uneasy.

      1% lookalikes are always the size of 1% of the population on Facebook and Instagram in your target area.
