Senator, We Run Ads

Senator, We Run Ads

By Mark McCammon

Senator, We Run Ads is all about paid and organic social media. I'll be pulling back Social Media's curtain of success & uncovering how to build a loyal & targeted following. I'm unveiling tricks and tips to creating attention-worthy ads and posts. These 4 words; Senator, We Run Ads, came from a response Mark Zuckerberg made when asked by Senator Orrin Hatch, during a congressional hearing, how Facebook makes any money if they don't charge its users. This podcast is not about making fun of the Senator's understanding of online advertising, although his question was hilarious.

20: Organic Vs. Paid

20: Organic Vs. Paid

Are you more of a fan of Organic or Paid reach? A lot of people, especially on Instagram, enjoy sharing their advice on how to leverage Instagram by using all sorts of fantastic organic strategies. Although there are numerous organic (FREE) strategies available to us, which people love to sell to us in the form of a webinar or course, and they will likely help our brand gain traction, we shouldn't turn our backs to Paid Social (paid reach). Creating ads is an extremely effective way to expedite the process of generating leads, growing a loyal following, and driving more traffic and sales. In this episode, I share the value of Organic and Paid reach and how we should use both to have a higher Customer Lifetime Value.
