Meta Took Away Your Ad Placement Controls — Here's What to Do Now

4/20/2026
Meta just quietly removed your ability to choose which ad graphic shows up in which placement — and if you're still running ads the old way, the algorithm is already making decisions for you that could be killing your conversions. 48-Hour Ad Fix Audit I break down exactly what changed in Meta's ad creative setup after the Andromeda update, why you still need to create both your 3x4 feed graphic and your 9x16 story graphic, and what happens to your ads if you only show up with one format. If your lead gen, launch, or low-ticket offer ads aren't performing the way they should, get an ad audit and let me put my nearly seven years of experience to work on your account. ‍‍Watch this episode on YouTube!

Why Smart Course Creators Treat Facebook & Instagram Ads Like a Lab

3/30/2026
What if the reason your ads aren’t working… is because you’re treating them like a gamble instead of a lab? 48-Hour Ad Fix Audit I walk you through the mindset I see in course creators who actually win with Facebook and Instagram ads—and how they use every result as feedback, not failure. I share why being willing to test, even when things flop, is exactly how you find the message that converts and grows your business. If you’ve been overthinking your ads or holding back, this will help you take action and keep going. ‍‍Watch this episode on YouTube!

Lead Costs Rising on Your Facebook & Instagram Ads? Do THIS Before Touching Targeting

3/23/2026
Lead costs on your Facebook and Instagram ads starting to creep up? ‍‍ ‍‍ 48-Hour Ad Fix Audit I share a real troubleshooting session I had with my wife after she hit a wall managing a client’s ads. Instead of changing targeting, we went back three months into the data, found the messaging that had consistently produced the lowest leads, and built new creative tests around it. You’ll hear how looking for patterns in your winning ads—and improving the message before touching targeting—can help stabilize results and lower lead costs again. ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Watch this episode on YouTube!

When $300/Month on Facebook & Instagram Ads DOESN’T Make Sense

3/16/2026
Spending just $300 a month on ads feels safe, but it can actually hide bigger problems in your business. 48-Hour Ad Fix Audit I explain when low ad spend makes sense, when it doesn’t, and the three places profit needs to exist before ads can truly work. I also talk about how to tell if your funnel, messaging, or offer is the real bottleneck—and what to tweak first to improve results without simply spending more. If you want responsible growth instead of expensive guesswork, this will help you see whether your ads are ready to scale or not. ‍‍ ‍‍Watch this episode on YouTube!

Your Ads Are Whispering Money Secrets… Are You Listening?

3/9/2026
Your ads are literally telling you how to make more money — most course creators just ignore the clues. 48-Hour Ad Fix Audit ‍‍ ‍‍ I share how I use message testing to see what cold audiences actually respond to and why those clicks are basically votes for what to say everywhere else in your business. Once you spot the winning angle, you can plug it into your emails, sales page, and content instead of guessing what to say next. If you’re already spending on ads, this is how you squeeze way more results out of the same data you already have. ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Watch this episode on YouTube!

Why the Best‑Performing Facebook & Instagram Ads Aren’t the Most Polished

3/2/2026
Some of the ads that make the most money don’t look impressive at all — and I explain why that is actually a good thing. ‍‍ ‍‍ 48-Hour Ad Fix Audit I share how low-production, “ugly” ads can outperform polished ones because they blend into the feed, feel more relatable, and are faster to produce and test. You hear how one client agreed to try this approach for retargeting ads and ended up with creatives that deliver positive ROAS. If perfectionism has been slowing you down, this episode shows why testing more simple ideas often beats waiting for the “perfect” ad. ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Watch this episode on YouTube!

Should You Still Use ManyChat for Ads in 2026? My Honest Take.

I get this question a lot, especially with all the changes coming into 2026: should you still be running ads to ManyChat, or is it time to move on? ‍‍ ‍‍ How to lower Facebook Ad Lead Costs for your Lead Magnet Ads ‍‍ ‍‍ I share when ads to a ManyChat-connected Instagram Reel still make sense, and when you’re better off sending traffic to a website opt-in or an instant form instead.
