@Riya_MalhotraIN @bofa No no. It doesn’t fail. The feature has been missing for years. I called them 3 years ago and they said they were building it but still haven’t built it….

Have you tried using @bofa Bank of America business credit card? They still haven’t solved autopay… (other than that it’s a great bank)

[@levelsio @levelsio]

You stop wondering why the US is so insanely rich when you travel the rest of the world

In most of the world there is:
- no real willingness to solve problems
- nor an acceptance of people offering to solve their problems (out of pride)
- simply too much regulation so the problem cannot be solved without a license or long approval time
- very low standards of what is deemed acceptable so the problem isn't seen as a problem in the first place

The rest of the world really mostly functions like this (except Asia and a few countries in the Middle East)

@bryan_johnson is it normal to be 50% older than my biological age?

[Andy Austin - Facebook Ads @realAndyAustin]

@MediaKing Dang this is so tempting tbh

[Andy Austin - Facebook Ads @realAndyAustin]

@johnhickey1970 Small but reasonable base + equity + some profit share if that’s what they want you to increase. But at this point why divert your focus on a new business?

Maybe acquire them if you see strong LTV/ signs they’ve built a brand

Just some thoughts idk

[Andy Austin - Facebook Ads @realAndyAustin]

@ppcguru I’d focus on the 10% ones

[Andy Austin - Facebook Ads @realAndyAustin]

People are being told to rip ads, do reddit research and it sets them up for failure.

But not in the way most think.

Ripping ads is actually very smart because you don't want to re-invent but most do it so wrong.

The right way is (see below)

[Andy Austin - Facebook Ads @realAndyAustin]

1. Remake the ad/organic content that works for the same persona but in slightly or significantly different vertical.
2. Take 1 big idea of what's working in the same vertical and make the entire concept significantly differnt while keeping the core the same

@theppcdude Nice, is it home services? We need some google ads there

[Andy Austin - Facebook Ads @realAndyAustin]

@EchoClouds I have seen russia is doing a very similar thing in donbas

[Andy Austin - Facebook Ads @realAndyAustin]

@ppcguru I think really good, meta needs to show AI capital expenditures pay off.

And for advertisers i think it’s so so so good because meta now has a ton more data.

I think they’ll need to wait before they put ads in it tho.

And even if they don’t put ads, meta ads should improve

[Andy Austin - Facebook Ads @realAndyAustin]

More ad placements are coming to Meta ads soon.
