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

The simulations made everything click. I used to read business books and forget everything — here I actually practice decisions and remember the frameworks.

I finished the whole course in 3 days. Each lesson is short enough to do on a lunch break, but dense enough that I actually learned something real.

Finally an MBA-style course that doesn't cost thousands. The quizzes and flashcards helped me prepare for interviews. Got the job.
