It’s a long and detailed one. Here’s the table of contents and a trailer of sorts:

3 key takeaways to scale your next Facebook ad campaign

  • Plan Ahead. Scaling like this won’t happen without planning. Making sure you have your financial, technical, and creative ducks in a row is a must.
  • Start Broad, Narrow Down, Then Multiply. Give yourself as many potential winning ad/audience combinations as possible to start. Kill losers quickly to protect your budget, then duplicate and manual bid your winners.
  • Influence The Outcome. Finding additional pages/people that you can run your proven ad campaigns through is a powerful way to both validate your brand and create additional scale on social platforms.

If you are interested in running Facebook campaign of any kind, this is definitely for you.
