I swear this is the last post where I pretend I know what I'm doing 😂

On today's agenda: how effective are Instagram ads for finding ARC readers?

In my limited experience: very effective.

It helps to have a solid foundation with an interesting initial post, but the ad helped me reach potential readers I might've otherwise never crossed paths with.

Side note: if you're one of the 17 ARC readers who signed up through my Google forms, I've so far approved everyone so you'll have a copy of Wolves of Empire in your email somewhere.

my experience: as someone living in Europe in a non English speaking country I tried to make the ad get shown to people like me too, so they wouldn't get excluded. Unfortunately that meant the ad algorithm didn't really know what to do. international people is still not a thing apparently. My ad got like 50 views and 0 clicks, 0 new followers, 0 comments, after 4 days. I hate Instagram.
