Social media marketing

Run better ads on Meta and TikTok. The auction, the numbers, and why some ads cost less

Course description

Most businesses run ads on social media at some point. The platforms make it easy to start spending, but harder to tell if the money is doing anything. The numbers on the screen look good, the actual results are less clear, and it is not obvious what to change.

This course explains how the ad system works, what the numbers mean, and how to tell whether your ads are actually working.

Built for anyone who runs ads or is about to start and wants to understand what they are paying for.

What you'll learn

Reach more people for the same money by making the ad better instead of paying more
Tell the difference between a number the platform made up and one you can trust
Show a different message to someone who just found you and someone who almost bought
Know whether a bad result is because of the ad, the audience, or the budget
Tell when your ads have reached everyone they can and it is time to try something else

honestly did not expect much for free but the simulator part caught me off guard. i kept replaying scenarios on my commute. way better than just reading theory and hoping it sticks

Did the whole thing over a weekend. Lessons are short but they don't feel dumbed down which is rare. The podcast format is great for when I'm driving between client sites.

I've paid for courses 10x this price that taught me less. The flashcards actually helped me remember terms for a presentation last week. My manager noticed lol
