Should you advertise on Facebook? Maybe.

Here are a couple of things to think about before creating an ad:
👉 Is your audience on Facebook or Instagram?
👉 What are you trying to achieve? Facebook/Instagram followers, blog subscribers, website visits, or product sales?
👉 Can you define who your audience is e.g. age range, interests/hobbies or something else they have in common?
👉 Do you have budget to advertise?
👉 Are there other marketing activities that could give a better return e.g. Google ads, email marketing, text marketing?

Sometimes you’re better off spending your marketing dollar in another place for better results. Facebook and Instagram advertising can be super effective, but it shouldn’t be a go-to for every situation.

Super client shout out to Hello Contractors.

Hello Contractors creates this total win/win situation for contractors and small businesses by connecting them with each other.

If you're looking for a contractor to help with something in your business, or you're a contractor looking for clients, hit them up.

I think of Hello Contractors as Tindr for business . Not sure if that description will be used in their bio though.

Why have I added a pic from Cats? Find out below ...

Some of the most popular website platforms display pricing information in a way that is well, kinda misleading.

If you're after a website that's like a virtual poster (pictures, images, and contact details), then you can take the pricing page at face value and happily build away.

However, there are a lot of hidden costs involved when you're looking at doing things like selling products, enabling online bookings, or enabling forms and automations etc.

Here are some things to consider when choosing a website platform:
🧐 What apps do I need to add to make my website functional and how much do they cost?
🧐 Can I add the apps myself, or will I need a bit of help?
🧐 If I want to add an online store how much does it cost to enable payments?
🧐 Does the website platform integrate with the tools I'm already using (e.g. Mailchimp)?
🧐 Is the website platform easy to use, or will I need help from an expert every time I need to change something?

I design in a range of website platforms, so hit me up, if you want to chat platform preferences, tips and tricks.

Disclaimer: I'm a Rocketspark Business partner, and I love their product, they're kinda my favourite.

When your website needs a schooze it's worth spending the time and money getting it done by an expert. Or you know, you could ask one of your crew who once made a newsletter in publisher, same-same right
