Episode description

Facebook is one of the biggest traffic channels out there right now, and I'm sure plenty of you listening are running ads on that platform, or at least thinking about it. Admittedly, I've only gotten into Facebook ads in the last few months, and it turns out I made some pretty big mistakes along the way. Thankfully, I had Michael Jackness of Terran.com and Miracle Wanzo of HipUndies.com take a peek at what I was doing and give me some pointers, which I'm going to share with you today. If you're brand new to Facebook ads, or even if you're already running some, take a listen and learn from the blunders I made so you can optimize your ads and increase your ROI—without learning the hard way like I did.
