Takeaways + Tactics
Facebook strategies are driven by the needs and opinions of the end user, not the businesses who want to advertise on the platform.
Half of your success in marketing is in the list - it’s about having the right message and the right market.

Everyone is on Facebook, so the first step of your lead generation plan is living where the attention is. Your strategy is as simple as using what works offline, targeting it to the right audience, having somewhere people can give you their information, and then having a decent conversion strategy in place. We’re at the mercy of platforms like Facebook, so it’s important to use those tools to build real relationships with people so when you take away the tool, the relationship still remains.
