How is this course different from the social media marketing course offered by Equinet Academy?
This course focuses primarily on the Facebook platform and goes in-depth into the various features used by marketers (Ads, Events, Groups, Pages, Marketplace, Offers).
The WSQ Social Media Marketing Course covers a comprehensive overview of various popular social media platforms and how to develop and implement a social media marketing strategy.
How much does it cost to advertise on Facebook?
The fundamentals of Facebook advertising is based on an “Auction Model”. What this means is that you are essentially competing with other people that are advertising on Facebook (also known as “Advertisers”), and the highest bid wins. On average, what we have seen is that the CPC (cost per click) cost for Facebook advertising ranges from $0.23 SGD to $5.15 SGD per click. Similarly, the CPM (cost per 1000 impression) cost for Facebook advertising ranges from $2.07 SGD to $59.72 SGD per CPM.
So the short answer is that the cost of advertising on Facebook really depends on many different factors. There’s no single fixed cost figure that you can accurately benchmark with.
Read this article to understand the factors involved that might affect the costs of advertising on Facebook.
Are there any pre-requisites or minimum entry requirements?
Do I have to prepare anything before attending the course?
