Facebook (now Meta) is an ad machine.

If you've spent more than 5 minutes on the app, you've either scrolled past an ad, seen it interrupt your Stories or Reels, caught a glimpse as you browse Marketplace or found yourself impatiently waiting for it to finish playing halfway through your video. 

But that's pretty good news for marketers and business owners. You've got 1.98 billion users waiting to be spoken to and the advertising ease is getting better by the year.

And it’s not just about the sheer numbers – it’s also the fact that Facebook gives you crucial insights into your audience. You can learn about their preferences, purchases, personal interests and so much more. All this info allows you to fine-tune your targeting and optimise your ads so that you reach the right audience.

However, creating a Facebook ad campaign that drives traffic and conversions is easier said than done. It takes skill and experience – and ongoing attention.

Lucky for you, we live in the age of information. There are plenty of tools readily available to help you gain skills fast. To help you get started, we’ve compiled the best free Facebook Ads courses (and some bonus paid ones) that'll give you the best foundation for running your own ads.

If you own a business, you might have thought about using Facebook ads to reach more people and attract new customers. But with so many advertising options out there, it can be hard to decide if Facebook ads are worth the money. 

One key strength about Facebook ads is that you can choose who sees them. You can target people based on their demographics - their ages, interests, their behaviour. This means you can show your ads to people who are most likely to be interested in what you're selling, which can help you make more sales.

Let's talk about everything else you need to know about Facebook ads, so you can decide if they're worth your time and investment.

Change is unavoidable, especially when it comes to the digital marketing space. If you advertise with Facebook or Instagram, chances are you’ve noticed a decline in the performance of your ads over the past months. Due to a recent series of shifts relating to data privacy, advertising with Facebook ads isn’t the same as it used to be.

Having a flexible approach to your Facebook Ads strategy will make your business more resilient in the coming years as major changes continue to roll out.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the iOS14 update, what it means for Facebook advertising. And how you can adapt your Facebook Advertising strategy in 2022.

Having trouble setting up your Shopify store? Whether you are a lover of shopping online, or brick and mortar stores, one of the most important factors for customers is experience. We’re not talking about the customers who love to dig through a disorganised second-hand store in search of a vintage find like a paleontologist looking for a dinosaur bone in the desert. They are time rich, and spending all day looking for their “find” is probably more enjoyable than the find itself. We’re talking about the customer who wants their shopping experience to be simple and easy. The customer who wants to find what they need online, anytime. If this sounds like the kind of experience you want your customers to have, you might want to know these simple set up Shopify store tips for your site.
