Ok so the "dreaded" iOS 14.5 update is here...now what do we do?

Moving forward, running Facebook Ads will never be the same.

When I say that though, that doesn't mean they're not going to work as well. They're still going to work just fine.

We just need to take a few different steps to understand and interpret the data.

In this video, I explain one of the first action steps you can take.

In my mind, there's no question that Facebook is king when it comes to marketing...and that's even with the 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐢𝐎𝐒 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞.

But at the end of the day, there's 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘴 out there.

And sometimes people wonder if it's 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 any of them.

I've been asked in the past whether it's worth taking the Facebook Blueprint Courses.

If you're not familiar with what these are, they are free courses provided by Facebook that teach you how to run Facebook Ads for your business.

In this video, I break down this question and provide my honest thoughts.

To many, it feels like there are at least a million 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐀𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 to look at, so it's understandable that people often don't know what to look for.

Have you ever had a few ads running in the same campaign and noticed that one ad is 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 than the other?

After all, you're sending traffic to the exact same page...so what gives?

This usually comes down to the C𝐏𝐌 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐝, or 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
