A whopping 78.2% aren’t able to make paid ads work.
To make matters worse, making them profitable is becoming more difficult. The main reason is the rising cost of ads.
Just look at Google’s ad revenue growth over time.
And Meta’s ad cost keeps rising as well.

The most overlooked marketing trend that businesses tend to ignore.
Lo-fi content!
When we looked at 3000 business accounts on both TikTok and Instagram, we noticed a trend.
Their lo-fi content on average got 34.04% more likes and 18.52% more comments.
If you aren’t familiar with lo-fi content, just think of content created from a cell phone.
But typically, the lo-fi content that did the best, wasn’t only shot with a cell phone, it was still edited in which clips were changed roughly every 3 seconds.
And although there were very fast frame changes, the content looked very “organic” because it was shot with a phone.
It’s a great way to make your company and products look more approachable and authentic because it feels more real.
So, the next time you are creating social media content, try lo-fi content.
