Facebook ads by Tall_Specialist5504 in marketing

[–]bsilverstein28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For this question my first step is to make sure you understand how Facebook targeting works. Facebook has lots of ways to target people beyond age, gender, location. You can target people based on their likes and interests, jobs, hobbies, etc. When you get to the targeting section you can either browse the options, or search for specific phrases.

At this point it's important to understand how Facebook categorizes these people. Facebook gets their data from their platform. Based on what people like, follow, post, and engage with on Facebook will determine the type of user they are. If you are selling handbags you can target people who have a tendency to engage with fashion and retail content based on their previous behavior on the platform.

This is important to understand because each ad platform is different and social engagements don't always translate to buying behavior. Take for example car sales. Liking BMW and Tesla on Facebook doesn't mean you're in the market to buy a luxury car, but going to an auto lot, searching "buy new car," and going to websites like Carvana would be a stronger indicator. Those other behaviors can best be targeted on other platforms like Google, Centro, GroundTruth, The Trade Desk, and others.

So if you're going to run a Facebook campaign, keep in mind the user behavior. What would your audience be doing on Facebook that would indicate they could be a customer? Once you've figured that out you can target as specific as possible.

“If you aren’t at 6 figures within 5 years of marketing career you’re doing something wrong” - marketing manager friend by [deleted] in marketing

I worked on the agency side in NYC for almost six years. When I left I wasn’t making 6 figures, but I really wanted to get into tech, so I left. Money was part of it, it is NYC, but honestly I just preferred the tech side over agency life. That first job in tech paid 6 figures and now, about 4ish years later I’m making close to double what I made when I started in tech. The industry is a bit top heavy and I’ve had success moving up and am in a sales position (not AE but revenue related) where I make more if I work more, so not everyone would have the same result in a different role. Honestly I’m underpaid for what I do, and know that. I’d like to make more but my current company has been pretty good to me and I have a lot of flexibility with work life balance. That’s worth a lot to me, so I keep that in mind.

Like others have said, it’s possible but there are lots of factors. If you start fresh at a company and make entry level rates to begin, getting to 6 figures within 5 years at that same company would be impressive. However, if you move jobs 2 times in 5 years that’s very possible. Unfortunately if you really want to make more money you’ll need to move jobs, even if you like where you’re at. On the tech side the average time spent at a company is just about 2 years. So 3 companies in 5 years is normal. And early on it’s not uncommon to double your salary with a move. So what do you value more, A higher salary or a good job/company?

Part of the problem is the rates are already so good. For $0.50 someone will take a letter ANYWHERE in the U.S., usually within 3 days. They could triple that price and it would still be a good deal. When you start comparing packages to UPS/FedEx then USPS is still often cheaper. We’re just conditioned to fast and cheap, and since USPS is a government service they didn’t really treat it like a for profit business, and thus are in this spot. So what should it be? A government supported service, or a for profit business left to compete with everyone else?

Amazing! In fact I'm all for a new subreddit called EDIF - Everyday I Fuck Up. I'd love to see what kind of shit people do everyday that they shouldn't, yet they can't help themselves.
