AUDIENCE:
Who are you targeting?
Facebook will now ask you to define who you want to see your ads. The social
network has around two billion users: targeting everyone will be much the
same as targeting no one. Facebook allows you to select and customize based
on three types of audiences:

Core audiences
Manual set criteria for your target audience.

Custom audiences

by pulling up your contact list.

Lookalike audiences

specifying people similar to an existing
target audience.
