Alana tells us how she got into writing and then we dive into demystifying Facebook Ads in particular.

We discuss how you begin including which graphics and text work best.

Also how much you’ll need to budget for.

Then we move on to what to look for when checking your ads and how to know when and ad is working.

Sometimes what you see is not what you get and that’s the case when you factor in advertising one book from a series. Readthrough is so important when calculating return on investment. (ROI)!

Naturally we’re interested in any tricks we might use plus we weed out a few myths.
