115 - Valerie QuoteI’m not shy about my love for social media. It has been one of the greatest tools in helping me get my message out there and build my personal brand.

When I first got started, platforms like Facebook were a bit easier to use. Organic reach wasn’t curbed and paid advertising wasn’t as crucial. Simply put, I didn’t have to pay to grow my page.

Nowadays things are a bit different and Facebook advertising is considered one of the most effective ways to build your email list and business. It can be damn confusing though, which is why I brought in Facebook ad expert Valerie Shoopman.

Valerie started her first website way back in 1993 and became one of Google Adwords first affiliates in 2003. Working with Adwords made her realize the importance of having a killer call-to-action and great copy. She took these skills and started applying it to social media platforms.

In the beginning she couldn’t quite decide which platform she wanted to niche down to, but eventually (and with the help of her business coach Nick Unsworth) gravitated towards Facebook. Since then she has carved out a successful business based on helping others create incredible Facebook ads that convert.
