You can actually add targeted interests in Boosted posts also. Maybe not as specific, but Boosting has worked quite well for me given how complex ads manager is to set up. I watched the tutorial many times and it's just way too complicated linking IG to an Facebook account, not to mention the other problems that arise with linking to a Facebook (profile impersonation, hacking, being a micro-influencer (5-10K following) Creator ... not an actual business). I feel Boosting has it's merits, especially given how inexpensive it is for smaller accounts.

Hey Ben, you definitely can do targeting, I shared what that side by side looks like - it’s just far less advanced than how detailed you can get with Ads Manager. The level of specificity and optimization is what’s going to get the better result/cost. If the goal is just wide reach and the desire is to have the easiest route we always support doing what will give you the least headache. Thanks for watching! - T

My son had a tyre shop in Australia and apart from sponsoring race car shows...dohhh, he used to use only fbk posts and boosted posts, $20 twice a week on average...for years...and had a 7 fiqure annual turn over. Obviously he knew exactly what his market wanted and spoke to that, as he was one of them...and used all the same gear he was selling. He sold the shop after 25 years in business and has since retired. You guys are a treasure. I comprehend everything you say. I subbed. Thankyou so much.

In my experience: If you want people to see and follow your profile, boosted posts are a no brainer, because the "view profile" option is unavailable on ad manager (yes, there is a workaround, but I had seen significally lower CPA) Ads will do better for anything else.

On Monday many people including two of my friends and some high profile accounts were demonitized and lost their subscription areas on Instagram. No reason given and no replies from appeals. None of the accounts posted anything in the proceeding day and the only thing they have now is a demonitized check on status ??? Also since being demonitized they can't see anyone else's sub area.

I don't know why but it is the case right now. Hopefully, they release an optimization objective that actually uses ML to get followers instead of profile visits. Anyway, give using the same post a try with both Boost and Ad Manager and let me know if you see the seem weird difference in cost per follower. For reference, at USD 10 a day, I grow net 30 ish followers a day with boost but loose 4-5 a day with ad manager. It's so weird as it should be the same?

It’s hard to know without looking at your ads in manager vs on platform, my main objective is to optimize for the lowest cost per result so that you can scale and spend less to get more (which usually comes with ads manager only capabilities like retargeting, testing various creatives against various audiences etc) but if the current way is working for you no need to to fix what doesn’t feel broken.
