2022-11-2038 minTom Ray's Art PodcastThis type of Facebook ad really works for meIn this podcast episode, I wanted to talk about a Facebook ad I use all the time. It's called a Facebook lead ad.
It's a way to collect emails to connect with people interested in what I do and add them to my email list.
And the best part? I don't have to create a landing page! It all happens in the Facebook ad itself.
