A short YouTube talk (Jeff Langmaid) advising creators to master organic marketing before investing in paid ads: learn what converts, understand audience needs, test what sells and how to connect, then consult ad experts. Strong caution against "boosting posts"—described as effectively donating money to platforms—encourages seeking skilled help for ad campaigns.
I think paying for traffic is wonderful. I would always encourage going organic first. Understanding what converts, understanding what people want, what sells, understanding how to connect with people, and then going to people like you and asking them, like, hey, how do I do this? Because ads are really confusing, and you don't want to just be, like, throwing your money away. You don't want to boost posts. Boosting posts doesn't do, like, they give you that option. Don't do that. It's a donation button. Is it right? This is it, right? Here we go. Donate money to Instagram, Facebook, right now. Don't do that. Reach out and actually ask someone that's doing the ad.
