Yep, if you head over to the Ad Center, you'll find it listed on the left-hand side.

People using adblockers won't even see the ads anyway, so you aren't wasting your budget on them—plus, they aren't exactly your target demographic, right?
It's actually possible to target mobile users specifically, though it's not quite as "plug-and-play" as just setting up an ad.
Mastering Power Editor is the way to go.

I read somewhere that most of the engagement comes from younger crowds who live on social media, but apparently, you can actually fine-tune the demographics. You can target specific age groups and even pick certain countries. Honestly, my goal would be to attract wealthy travelers from places like New York or Connecticut, rather than some college kids from out of state who just show up and trash the place. 😁 Just a thought.

You can actually get pretty precise with your targeting. You can filter by age, gender, interests, and hobbies.

If you're on Android, there's a Pages Manager app that lets you handle all the pages you admin from one spot.
I assume there's an iPhone version too, but since I don't own one, I can't say for sure.

Aha, so if they send you a DM, you'll see it on your phone?
Yeah, exactly. Once they hit send, you'll get the notification right through the Facebook app or Messenger.
I'm just not totally seeing the point of doing it that way, though.

Charles Ramos7 said:Since you're an expert and I'm clueless about Facebook, can I ask a quick question? Is it technically possible—say, if I ran a pizza delivery joint—for a customer to land on my business page and order right there via message or something similar instead of calling? I'd want that notification to hit my phone immediately.
And could they also track the delivery driver's location on a map in real-time?

I’m pretty sure that’s possible using the Facebook app. I don't code myself, so I can't speak to the technical specifics.
My suggestion would be to reach out to a firm like Accenture; they're top-tier developers, so if something can be built, they can definitely handle it.

A simpler route would be setting up a standard web shop on your own website. (I think DoorDash uses a similar setup for food orders.)

Word-of-mouth is the gold standard for any business. Other media channels really depend on what you do—for some, TV is king; for others, it's the web or direct sales. Every industry has its own quirks. Speaking from my own experience running an online marketing agency, there are so many different paths to take, whether it’s Google, various social platforms, or specifically Facebook. While Facebook isn't impossible to learn, it’s usually much easier to just hire a pro who actually knows what they're doing rather than struggling through it yourself, especially since ad formats and algorithms change so fast.
The real issue is that people often overlook the importance of marketing entirely. When you present them with actual data and figures, they think you're crazy—they figure their daughter can handle it because she's on Facebook all day anyway.
The big advantage of digital marketing, though, is the tracking. You get real statistics. You know exactly where your customers are coming from, how they interacted with your site, and how long it took them to pull the trigger on a purchase.

I’m honestly done updating Java or anything else, specifically because of them and the IRS. 😁
I agree—it’s a total disaster.

That’s what I figured. Thanks!

Quick question. We run a medical practice that's exempt from sales tax because we provide healthcare services. We currently run Google AdWords campaigns, and they send us monthly invoices from Ireland showing 0% tax. Do we need to account for and pay use tax on these, and if so, when does that obligation kick in?

You can stick with being a sole proprietorship and switch over to the corporate tax system without having to incorporate as an LLC.

It might not be a bad idea to check in with the Department of Health. Since they handle the licensing for medical clinics, they probably need to sign off on this too.

Could we be looking at the Chamber of Commerce and the NYSE?

You really need to be a caregiver, or more specifically, a registered nurse with an associate degree.

If you have a premium fan package, you can actually get 5 or 7 accounts for free, depending on which one you’ve got. It's worth checking with JPMorgan Chase to see what your specific perks are before you file a claim.

I added an 8GB stick of RAM 🙂

It's ordered, should be all assembled by tomorrow 🙂

I also swapped out the processor for a slightly better one that cost a few extra bucks (an intel i5-12400 or something similar)
wd hard drive instead of the Toshiba

Everything else remains the same.
I went a little over budget, but it's not a huge deal—hopefully, I'll be happy with the results.

Thanks a million!

Yeah, 2GB sounds reasonable. I'm thinking it won't be a huge deal if I just toss in a single 4GB stick of RAM. It pushes me slightly over budget, but I'll make it work. Ordering next week—thanks a ton!

So, I’m looking for a PC build—just the tower, no mouse, keyboard, or monitor included.

$1000Budget-wise, I’d love to stay around the $1,000 mark, but I can stretch up to $3,500 if it’s actually worth it. Definitely look for cash discounts where possible.

I'll be using it for everything, but my main goal is to run all current games and upcoming titles smoothly. It doesn't need to be maxed out on ultra settings, just playable.

Here’s what I need:
It's important that I can hook up two monitors (so I'm assuming I'll need a dedicated GPU rather than integrated graphics).
At least 4GB of RAM (though more is definitely preferred), and at least a 500GB hard drive.
I want all the components coming from the same shop, and I'd like them to assemble it for me right then and there.
Ideally, somewhere local in Chicago rather than just an online retailer.

Something extra that would be nice, though not required:
If we can fit some decent speakers into the budget, great; if not, no big deal.
IF POSSIBLE, a white case would be awesome.😁 (Not a dealbreaker, though.)
The OS doesn't matter much; I don't strictly need one.

I have a feeling I could put together a better machine myself than what most pre-built options offer, but I'm open to pre-built systems if the value is actually there.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think the specific email address matters as much as whether you can provide a valid certificate from the client. Honestly, your best bet is just to give them a call and ask directly. I've had a few people there go out of their way to help me out without any hassle before. 😁
I'm pretty sure you can even drop by in person. now Free
