Don't try to trick the system or your ad account will get banned.Budget and Testing Strategy:Start with just $5/day if you're new. Don't spend $500 on day one because you haven't proven your ads work yet. Find winning creatives with the lowest budget first, then scale up.Targeting Strategy:Focus on follower lookalikes from competitors like Alex Hormozi or Justin Welsh. Build an audience of about a million people and show them your ad over and over. Don't waste money on broad targeting.The 3-Layer System:Layer 1: Build awareness with organic posts to cold audiencesLayer 2: Retarget people who engaged with your contentLayer 3: Show conversion-focused ads only to people who follow youCreative Selection:Use organic posts that already performed well and have engagement. Don't use family, faith, or meme posts - only business-educational content that builds authority around your expertise.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Your customers don't care about Grok or AI features - they care about educational, helpful content. Don't follow trends, focus on building awareness and providing value. Test with low budgets, find winners, then scale. Use organic posts with existing engagement to build social authority.Author: Brad Smith https://x.com/bradsmithcoachCompany: AutomationLinks https://www.automationlinks.com/
