“The power of authentic, vulnerable storytelling is that you create permission for other people to face things that in their own life and history that they maybe aren't looking at. ” — Jamie Jensen

“Some months ‘I'm like, oh my God, my life is over. My business is terrible. I'll never make enough money, what is happening!?’ In the next month, ‘ I'm like, this is amazing. I'm the luckiest person ever. Business is easy. I'm making so much money. I'm abundant.’ ” — Jamie Jensen

240+ Precise Interests You Can Use In Your Targeting

 

Today's episode is brought to you by a Google spreadsheet. People tell me all the time that choosing Facebook and Instagram ad targeting makes them want to throw their computer out the window and I don't blame them. There are a ton of options and that makes it easy for you to flush money down the Zuckerberg drain. So, I put together a big old list of what Facebook calls ‘Interests’ for you and a totally free spreadsheet separated out by niche. I also created a short PDF that explains how to go about using those interests so you don't waste a ton of time putting together your audience. 

 

Take the guessing out of Facebook and Instagram ad targeting.
