You can learn so much at school, from a book, but books and courses can’t teach you how to deal with the unexpected. Never be afraid to sit at the merch table for a band, you can learn so much that will never be taught in a college course. Books smarts vs. Street smarts… you NEED both!

The new test didn’t restrict countries or language and the results show greatly reduced cost per play and subscriber, but… there are some possible concerns because the countries that played the video were Pakistan, Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries. Countries that typically do not view the videos. Are these legit plays and subscribers? Will this potentially mess organic traffic? More questions need to answered. Plus there is definitely some confusing messaging coming from Google Ads, including rejecting a promotion for being click bait, after the promotion had successfully run.
