Ep 8. – Are Facebook Ads A Waste Of Money?
Is Facebook ROI Real?
Today’s topic is inspired by a comment on an obscure blog post I just happened across. The comment, in support of the view that Facebook ads are a scam, was, “[..] as FB member yourself, have you ever called or bought anything through one of the ads?”
