Today I dive right into key takeaways from my recent Absolute FB Ads Q&A session. I’m going to tell you what I really think of the most common question I get: “How do I make sure my ads are attracting buyers and not freebie seekers.” We’ll get into the problem with labeling your subscribers as “buyers” and “non-buyers” and a really important mindset shift that transformed how I advertise, talk about, and sell my own programs.
