RE: The Pestering

in #story2 years ago (edited)

They're all stepping up their game -- Facebook and YouTube are terrible now. I swear sometimes they can read my mind. Lol. May the good Lord help you if you click on any Facebook ads that land on your profile because that ad and similar ones will be front and center every time you open the app. I just can't imagine how it'll be once we're all wearing AR/VR devices. They'll be hounding us in all of our waking hours. Thanks, Krisz, enjoy your weekend as well!

I know exactly what you mean. I was one of the early advertisers on FB. In 2011, when I joined the game, we were less than 100K advertisers worldwide. Wicked times. I became a nerd at it, teaching big businesses and small biz owners how to run profitable FB ads. I also had an Academy dedicated exclusively to teaching entrepreneurs, corporate teams, etc., how to run ads on FB and Insta that deliver results. I stepped out of the game a few years ago. The amount of data and more importantly, the granularity of the data is incomprehensible to the human mind. This tech behemoth from Silicon Valley is a data vampire and people continue to feed the beast, albeit ads have become even more intrusive than they used to be.

Those were the glory days of FB ads! I used to run them for my author page they were very effective. I sold quite a few books. That all stopped for me around 2013/4 when costs to boost skyrocketed. I just made the announcement today on my Facebook author page that I was winding it down and included a link to my YouTube channel...hopefully I gain enough subs to monetize. I'm about 10% of the way there!
