TikTok’s most overlooked targeting feature that I wish FB had! People are usually quite aware of the Interest & Behaviour options for targeting on TikTok, but a lot of people I’ve spoken to recently have not been testing the #’s targeting option!

The fact that you can take your best performing TikTok creatives, run them on FB & get amazing results but can't take your best performing FB ads & have success with them on TikTok shows just how big TikTok has become!

Once you realise how many boomer business owners still think TikTok is a "dancing app for kids". You realise how many opportunities are out there for your service. Start emailing them, have some case studies, statistics, examples. You'll have more clients than you can manage.

@sourfraser Some creators aren't worth what they are trying to charge though! It's become a commodity, good creators are worth it but the majority aren't worth $150+ per video IMO. As an example; creators can make multiple vids within an hour, so $50 for an hours work could be quite

@CTtheDisrupter @ashvinmelwani @therahulissar TikToks algorithm & advanced matching is way behind FB’s. TT learns best from data as a result of in platform spend, not just pixel events. Therefore when starting out fresh it’s best to optimise for ATC or lower before switching to Purchase (Would never advise this on FB btw)
