Author: Autumn Witt Boyd | Go-To Lawyer for Online Entrepreneurs November 2, 2020 Duration: 26:18

Most everyone I know will not shed one single tear when it's time to bid 2020 farewell. We're all ready for a new year and a new start after everything that's been thrown at us this year. But there's still plenty of opportunity to run a successful year-end promotion in your business.

Going through a launch, running a challenge, or doing a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale is stressful enough when everything goes right - not to mention when something goes wrong (like your FB ads account gets disabled, no one shows up to your webinar, or you can't get your ads approved for your sale).

In this episode, we'll cover:

  • The Facebook ad basics you need to know (especially if your ads keep getting denied)
  • How to break through noise and offer fatigue to make your year-end promotion a success
  • What people are really tired of in 2020
  • Ways to structure your year-end promotions for maximum engagement
  • New Facebook ad limits that are rolling out soon
