So you just landed your first advertising client - or you are a business owner looking to tackle this Facebook thing on your own. Unless you have a ton of extra money you would like to donate to Facebook, you are going to want to follow a strategy.

Under promise. Over deliver. Always. In all ways. This episode is the meat and potatoes of the podcast up to this point - step by step advice for a kick ass first 30 days :)

Episode #6_11 Ad Types

I have spent almost 16 years in the B2B sales industry and coming up on nearly 6 in the advertising, marketing, and social media industries. I say that to provide a foundation...some validity if you will, to back up my next potentially polarizing statement: I have never seen something so trivial regarding actual BUSINESS impact, saturated with uneducated & unwilling to learn, lazy  "you can do whatever you set your mind to because you are special" type people. What is missing from that do whatever you set your mind to is evident to me....setting your mind is needed but it won't get you very far unless you are willing to WORK HARDER THAN YOUR COMPETITION.
