Up In My Business

Episode 172: Are Your Meta Ads "Successful"?


Listen Later

Summary
In this episode, I'm sharing some life and business updates before diving into a topic that's been on my mind after attending a recent business event. I break down Meta ads (Facebook and Instagram ads), what "interruption marketing" really means, and how to define success when running ads. I also talk through why getting lost in data you're not using can hurt more than help, and why patience matters when sales cycles are long.


What I Talked About

  • Recapping my trip to New York City with Anna of Movement Rev, upcoming travel to see my parents, and our Switzerland trip coming up in 49 days
  • Updates on my Google Ads course, current client availability, and why I'm considering closing my books to new one-on-one clients
  • Hiring a one-on-one mentor for a six-month social ads mentorship and what that means for my business going forward
  • The difference between Meta ads (interruption marketing) and Google ads (intent-based), plus why boosted posts are not the same as real Meta ads
  • How to define a conversion and why the first true measure of ad success is simply whether someone did the thing you asked them to do
  • Why I prefer low-ticket offers over free lead magnets, and advice from Claire Pelletreau on only tracking data you'll actually use
  • How long sales cycles mean someone might opt in today and not buy for a year, and why focusing on your controllables is what matters most
