Do you ever wish you could have a wee taste of something before you commit? I'm talking business not ice cream😉.
I understand that there are lots of people out there selling digital products like online courses, and you want to know that you've found the one thats right for you.
That's why when I set up my Learn to run your own Meta Ads mini course I offer a free preview module. I have a short module where I talk through the difference between Ads vs Boosts and this is one you can preview for free. It shows you the format of the modules and give a little hint of what you'll learn.

If Facebook & Instagram ads have been on your list to learn more about and you're starting at the beginning then this might be the course for you. If you fancy a free preview I've added the link in the comments- or maybe you know someone else who has mentioned this to you and you could share it with them.

"I’ve been muddling through my ads for years…”
I've heard this a lot, Meta Ads Manager isn’t exactly user-friendly, and most people are just trying to make sense of it as they go. One business owner even told me she thought it was a Dark Art like something out of Harry Potter.

But there comes a point where guessing starts costing you cash. That’s when people reach out.
Like L, who said:
“I finally reached a point where I knew I needed expert help.”

Not to hand everything over, they wanted to keep running them by themself- just to understand what’s actually going on and what to do next.
Once you’ve got that clarity? You stop wasting money and start making proper decisions with your ads.
The good news is you don’t need to commit to a big retainer to get there.

You can work with me in a way that suits you:
• a Power Hour to sense-check what you’re doing
• a 2-hour Sort It Out session to fix what’s not working
• a half-day Ads Kickstarter to properly get things set up
• or a bespoke training session if you want something tailored

If your ads feel a bit like a stab in the dark right now, let's get a bit of proper direction behind them, get in touch for chat about what service might be best suited to you.

Can you believe that we are one third of the way through the year.
In just 2 months half the year will be over with the second half ahead of us - will you be on track to end the year how you wanted?

Just last week someone told me they didn’t realise I offered account management services, so I am laying all my services here for you to see.
Some of my services are very limited in spaces. Others are self learning that you can access anytime.

Power hours - these are one hour online offered during weekdays for any of your social or ads supper needs

Face to face sort it out sessions are currently ÂŁ250 for 2 hours in the Glasgow area where we work thro go whatever you want in terms of set up/ training/ content / ads/ platforms and this price is going up in July- these are limited in the month but still some availability

Full management of social accounts or Ads campaigns I have only 1 space available for one or the other.
These can take a couple of weeks to get fully set up so don’t delay if you want to chat about these services as I don’t take on new clients in July or August.

My Ads set up service needs a 4 week lead time to be able to look at the set up you have . Again this is not available in July .

My run your own Meta Ads mini course is perfect for beginners and is available online now at the intro price of ÂŁ69 dm me for the link.

My Meta Ads assistant is also available with instant access to help you optimise campaigns that you are already running .

Strategy and training sessions can be delivered for Facebook: Instagram and LinkedIn on request.

Need something bit more bespoke that you can’t see here then get in touch and let’s chat.

Get ready to be in the best place for the second half of the year- I’d love to support that success!

Yesterday was glorious in Glasgow and the west 😎.
I was attending a networking lunch hosted by Shona from The Independent Buying group at . In advance you get to see the delegate list and give preferences of who to meet over each of the 4 courses. There’s an hour of open casual networking which was great and met lots of new people. Then we had the 4 course lunch which was delicious and beautifully presented. Each course we moved tables and sat with a new person.
It was lively, fun and definitely different for me.

I’ll be booking another one for sure. Shona hosts in both Glasgow and Edinburgh monthly.

If you’re running Meta ads but not always sure what you’re looking at…this is for you.
I had this feedback recently from someone using my Meta Ads Assistant:

"I've run ads for years on and off, but honestly digging into the data is not my jam, and so I found it hard to know if they were working or not.

The jargon baffled me, and at times looking at Ads manager and trying to decide whether I was looking at CTR, CTR (all) or (Unique) CTR just made me want to burn the whole thing to the ground and run away! That's where Angela's Meta Ads Assistant came in.

It asked brilliant questions, helped me to understand what the data was telling me and make sensible changes, based on numbers and logic.

It also helped me to see what was working, and where I could make small, actionable tweaks to improve results and bring down costs.

It has given me the confidence to go it alone, without needing to pay for an ads manager, and allowed me to spot and sort problems, instead of feeling like I'm donating my money to Meta.
If you run ads, but aren't always sure if they're working, and how to make them better, the Meta Ads Assistant is for you."

This is exactly why I built it.

How to turn ÂŁ69 into ÂŁÂŁÂŁ thousands......
You can learn how to run your own Facebook ads, if you’ve tried before you probably wasted £69 already. If you’ve never tried, I bet you waste £69 on food you didn’t need or clothes still hanging in your wardrobe unworn.

“The value of this course to me in the last year was thousands- the ROI is through the roof.”
That’s a real result, from a small business owner after taking this course.

Most people don’t lose money on ads because ads don’t work. They lose money because they don’t know what they’re doing. Boosting random posts, guessing audiences, and looking at numbers in Ads manager with no clue what they mean.
This is exactly what my Meta Ads Mini Course fixes.
It shows you:
- how to actually run ads (properly)
- how to stop wasting budget
- how to understand what’s working and what’s not

It’s perfect for beginners, simple plain language to cut through the jargon, and priced for small business owners who can’t justify the agency or outsourcing costs right now but want to get started.

Just clear, practical training you can use straight away.
It’s £69. Lifetime access.
If you’ve been saying “I need to sort my ads”…
This is where you start. DM me any questions you might have, and I can send you the link .

No one warns you about the changes in your role, and that you don't know when the last time is that you do something.... of course I'm talking about my role as a MUM. My eldest has recently started a casual part time job, and we are now in the first official week of study leave.

I tried to remember what it was like for me on study leave, but I really don't- other than hoping the sun shone in May and studying could be done outside in the sunshine- we had no laptops and computers required in those days it was all pen and paper. (no not slate and chalk)
But I guess it was different as my mum never worked from home, as a teacher she was out everyday and I just got on with it.

Working from home is easier for me as I have a separate office space and he can work in his bedroom, or at the dining room table. He doesn't need too much pushing which is good, though he does need regular feeding🙄, and thankfully he doesn't ask me for help as my physics and chemistry knowledge is very, very dusty.

It’s also why I’m quite protective of how I work and who I work with. Life doesn’t pause just because you’ve got a business to run.
And I know a lot of the people I work with are juggling exactly the same kind of things behind the scenes.

It’s Friday and the end of the Easter hols in Scotland. 🥳
It can be hard juggling it all. Sometimes we forget to look for the wins and celebrate them. So here are a few ways to remind yourself this week.

This week I’ve gained new followers on my socials (hi there), I did not grow my email list , I had 2 new enquiries, created and launched a new product but didn’t tell anyone 🙄 , and survived the Easter holidays.

I’d love you to share your wins with me no one else will shout about them but you!

Me on my way to tell them Ads Manager isn’t confusing… you’ve just been left to figure it out yourself 🤯

No one actually shows you:
what numbers matter
what to ignore
or what to do next

So you’re left guessing.

And guessing with ads usually looks means - “this doesn’t seem right, I’ll switch it off” or
“this looks good I’ll throw more money at it” &
repeat 🙃

That’s not a strategy it’s just extra stress.
Once you know what you’re looking at, it all gets a lot simpler.

If you want me to walk you through it properly, book a sort it out session and I’ll show you exactly what to look at (no jargon, just straight talking)

Or if you want support on tap, my Meta Ads Assistant will talk you through your numbers and what to do next - anytime you need it. DM me & I can send you the link.

So today is known as Blue Monday and you'll hear that on the radio, tv and on social. but Samaritans prefer to know it as Brew Monday because we can feel low on any day of the year. And it can be as simple as sharing a cuppa with someone and having a chat to reconnect, ask someone if they are ok... like really.
I love a cup of tea - milk and 1/2 a sugar- as you can see from this collection of pics - so anytime you need to have a chat my inbox is always open , phone calls, video calls, voice notes, and if we are at the same place or close by an in person chat is still the best , and if we can add a biscuit or a cake (which I'm trying so hard to have less of) even better!

So don't let marketing make you feel Blue today- stick the kettle on and get chatting.
