DON'T run Facebook ads until you listen to this episode (S5E124)

Author: Autumn Witt Boyd | Go-To Lawyer for Online Entrepreneurs February 3, 2020 Duration: 22:03

Facebook ads can seem like a mystery - it's no wonder there are people who have made a whole career out of helping others set up ads that work.

Whether you're a seasoned social media ad user, or you're just starting to think about using them, you know ads can be a powerful tool to help move the needle when it comes to driving traffic, generating leads, and making sales.

But ads often get rejected… repeatedly. And for different reasons than you might think. So, what do you need to know before you run that ad so you can avoid any potential problems?

In this episode, we'll cover:

  • How your ad's copy or images may not be the reason it keeps getting rejected
  • The essential elements you need on the landing page your ad leads to
  • The potentially tricky business of using other people's content in connection with your ad
