There are a few key differences in the approach between entrepreneurs and agencies regarding running ads. First, entrepreneurs typically create their ad accounts and manage them themselves. At the same time, agencies usually provide higher-tier, more premium ad accounts that offer benefits such as stronger account health and less likelihood of getting blocked by platforms. Additionally, agencies often have unlimited spending limits from the start, while entrepreneurs may have to increase their spending limits gradually over time. Finally, agencies typically provide better support than platforms when it comes to things like account restrictions and feedback on ads.

The window of opportunity for a new startup in the tech industry is relatively small. If you wait too long to get started, you may miss your chance. However, there are still opportunities available for those with the right mix of experience.

He recommends finding peer groups and mentors, as well as trying to keep up with your physical health.

Karl loves the impact side of content marketing, and he wants his clients to be successful.
