What's the ideal length of a short-form video? Jon talks about what he does and why.

I have the goal of publishing at least one video per day in 2023, and it has very little to do with strategy.

Jon put off this episode for as long as he could. He discusses the three phases of procrastination that he has dealt with, and maybe it can help you. 1. Shame 2. Acceptance 3. Dealing with It Productively

You may have heard creators recommend reposting the same video multiple times on TikTok. I decided to try this out, and here's what happened...

It's been popular lately to claim that Facebook remarketing is now dead. While certain types of remarketing (particularly general remarketing of all of your website visitors) may not be as effective or necessary as it once was, there are certain types of remarketing that are absolutely still useful. And if…

Jon used Resemble.ai to clone his voice for this episode. What do you think?

One of the biggest mistakes Facebook advertisers make is related to conversion rate. Here's an example of how not all clicks are created equal and how your overall conversion rate can make you do crazy things.

Is there an ideal frequency for publishing short-form videos? Some have said 3-5 times. What does Jon do?

If you're having issues with Meta spending your ads budget, it's often due to a restriction of the algorithm related to one of four things.

A really interesting thing happened recently. Someone who had never heard of me before, typed in a prompt to get a recommendation from ChatGPT for courses and resources to learn more about Facebook ads. The result was that it referred business to me. This marks a shift in how marketers…

You start testing at a low budget. You get great results. Then you want to increase your budget, but you're afraid to make any changes that would restart the learning phase and impact those results. Maybe we're looking at this backward...

You're bound to find yourself in a situation where you want to increase your budget. Unfortunately, it's entirely unclear how much you can increase it without ruining your results -- and Facebook's guidance on this is awful. Here's how you can approach it...

For the longest time, I would have agreed that it's a bad idea to try to be everywhere, and that you should focus on one or two platforms. That feeling changed with short-form video. Here's why...

These are the things that I did to grow to 10,000 followers on TikTok in under six months. The number isn't everything, but it does matter.

It doesn't matter what type of content creator you are, this is the key to success.

I've had a YouTube channel since 2012, but I've been very inconsistent with it. While I recently surpassed 15,00 subscribers, much of that came during the first few years. Very little happened on my channel up until November. And then I started publishing my short-form videos there, too.

In a recent report, Meta reported that the percentage of views that included links is down to 7.7%, which is nearly cut in half since the third quarter of 2021. What might explain this? And does it really mean anything?

I started my short-form video journey on October 1, 2022. Prior to that point, I mostly used Instagram as an ad placement. From that point forward, I've published more than 250 videos to Instagram Reels. Here's what happened...

Meta announced that the average ad price dropped for the fifth straight quarter, year-over-year. How is that possible? Here are five potential explanations...
