  74: Answering Questions I hear a lot about Meta Ads

  Jul 29, 20268 min

  Thanks for Listening! Send me your questions-maybe I'll do a special episode for you! This week's episode is another FAQ round, because you all keep asking good questions and I keep collecting them. First up : do you need a Meta Verified account to run ads? Nope. That's a paid badge subscription, totally separate from actually being able to advertise. What can get required is business verification, which is a different thing Meta triggers on its own, no monthly fee attached. Second: how many creatives do you actually need? Forget the old "3 to 5 and you're done" rule, that's not really how it works anymore. For most of us running smaller budgets, 3 to 6 creatives is still the sweet spot. It's not about hitting a magic number, it's about making sure every ad has enough spend behind it to actually get out of the learning phase. What's new right now . There's a new manual override called Push Delivery to This Ad, so if you've ever added a fresh creative and it just sat there never spending, that's fixed. Meta has a track record of rolling something out and pulling it a week later, or rolling it out clunky and fixing it down the line. Keep an eye on these instead of treating them as set in stone.

  73: Meta ads beginners- Time to set up before September

  Jul 22, 20268 min

  Thanks for Listening! Send me your questions-maybe I'll do a special episode for you! Why Summer Is the Best Time to Set Up Your Meta Ads Account Everyone thinks summer is the wrong time to touch your ads. I'm telling you it's backwards, especially if you're a first-timer. Here's what I cover in this episode: Why waiting until September to set up your ad account puts you in the busiest, most expensive season as a total beginner What "warmed up" actually means for an ad account, and why one built in July has an edge over one started in the fall The two things you need to handle now: getting your pixel installed and firing, and starting to learn who your audience actually is Why fifteen dollars a day in July beats fifty dollars a day in October when you're still figuring things out How your competitors sitting out the summer works in your favor right now What I'm offering this month if you want help getting your account fall-ready (no sales call, just a plan) If you've been putting off ads because it "wasn't the right time," this is your sign.

In this episode: The audit that called me out and why the data stung even though none of it was wrong What I found when I finally looked Why avoiding your metrics feels good today and costs you money tomorrow The 10-minute version of any scary task and why it almost always works How my Ad Readiness Review lets me look at the scary stuff so you don't have to Ready to know what's working and what to fix without ever getting on a call?
