Episode #59 - Why NOW is the best time to start running Facebook ads

“... the time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets.” - Baron Rothschild That old quote about the stock market is just as true for Facebook ads. When people start saying the sky is falling and running for the hills that is the time to do the exact opposite of the masses.  Facebook ads are going through a phase that ALL major marketing platforms have been through.  I’m starting to see a mass exodus of Facebook advertisers and Facebook ads managers who were just here picking low hanging fruit. Many didn’t have marketing skills but just knew how to input an ad and for awhile that’s all you needed to know. Here is the really good part though... A gap is now being created. Those of the opportunists leaving and those that are willing to do the simple but not easy work of actual marketing. On episode 59 I talk about why now is the best time to get into Facebook ads.  I’m not saying you should abandon other marketing channels by a long shot but that Facebook is prime for opportunity.
