Today’s Insight

You need to start finding a new channel ASAP

📰 TL;DR - I saw this tweet and knew I had to share it with you all

💡 Insight - I always say Facebook ads get more and more expensive every 90 days on average but man are we in for a ride in 2024. I strongly recommend starting to test some other ad platforms ASAP to diversify spend and see if you can get a similar or even lower CAC than your Meta ads spend… A few ad platforms I think are underrated:

Quora Ads, Snapchat Ads, YouTube ads, Tik Tok Ads, Linkedin Ads (for retargeting), Google Display Ads (also for retargeting), or even newsletter ads ;)

Regardless the platform you choose to test, it never hurts to allocate some budget to find an alternative platform to diversify away from Meta ads! Especially starting at a massive increase in cost in Meta ads for 2024.
