She explains the importance of nurturing your audience and how it can impact the success of your Facebook ads, why being realistic and knowing your numbers is critical to reducing your advertising cost, and how taking your audience through a customer journey can impact your ad spend. She also shares her “stealth ad” strategy and explains how taking advantage of underutilized advertising platforms can be a cost-effective solution to growing and promoting your online business.
