Being a creator is only sustainable for a small percentage of Facebook business users. It isn't likely to work for most users, despite Facebook foisting its agenda on you to switch your personal profile to Professional Mode and crank out enormous quantities of reels. These are some of the different types of social media business users. It's time to regain control. It is important to focus on what is important. Organic and paid Facebook marketing methods can be used to be a smart, strategic marketer. You need to ask if this is the right fit for you because Meta wants us all to be creators. If you arecrushing it as a creator, thank you. Are you an outlier? The rest of us are building sustainable businesses that don't depend on technology.

- Personalize your messaging: Focus on prospects who have already shown interest in your services and use audio, video, and fun elements like GIFs and emojis to create a more engaging experience.
- Be genuine: Use your personality and stay true to who you are. Don't feel pressured to use elements that don't resonate with you.
- Create a one-on-one connection: The goal is to replicate a face-to-face interaction as closely as possible. Use your prospect's name, look them in the eye through video messages, mention their name in audio messages, and keep the conversation focused on their needs.

A lead generation ad is one that syncs to yourCRM and gives anyone who fills out your form access to your offer via email: a free consultation, or an entry level offer.
The ability for people to access your asset directly from the ad and download your brochure, checklist, or ebook directly to their mobile device without opening their email is currently in the alpha stage.
The key to successful acquisition of clients and customers is in the follow up.
You should follow up with every lead within 15 minutes. You'll have a better chance of keeping that lead if you follow up within this window. It's easy to automate your follow up sequence.
If you want this potential customer's business, you need to show that you're responsible. Depending on the type of business you are in, you can develop a follow up sequence that has seven to 11 touch points within two to four weeks. According to research, high intent leads become customers between the third and fifth touch points. You don't lose the chance to convert your warm leads if you use 7 to 11 touch points.
Support your follow up with retargeting. If you can drive those leads to your sales page or landing page, you can make them a customer.
If you put this system in place, you will see a cheaper cost per result from your ad campaigns.

There are many tips on how to increase your content reach and get more followers on your account on social media.
These tips don't cover how to get new visitors to stay. Creating a valuable proposition that encourages your audience to follow and engage with your content is one of the tactics involved in this tactic.
There are two main ways to get people to follow you.
- Add a positioning statement to your bio—a short phrase or sentence that clearly states the value you offer your audience; for example, “self-care tips for Millennial moms.”
- Produce a regularly Live series—Instagram users love a regular live series! Committing to going to live on a regular basis and promoting this in your bio will encourage people to follow you as a way to keep up to date with your live series.
You can convert viewers to followers by using both tactics.

Proper campaign structure is needed for testing and scaling campaigns.
Too many marketers don't test the variables needed to find the winning ads or ad sets quickly because they set up their campaigns wrong.
They waste time and money on ads that aren't performing well. They can't reach the scaling and Optimization phases.
The budget is delivered by Facebook. If you want to test with one ad per ad set, you should use ABO. When using Advantage+ budget, Facebook will decide which ad sets get budget when you should be testing everything equally.
It's like putting more than one ad per ad set. When all should get the same budget to make the test viable, Facebook will decide which ad gets the budget.
You can move to other budgeting options such as CBO or cost cap bidding if you find your winning ads and audiences.
