## Resource

Facebook and Instagram ads can be powerful, but that does not mean they are always the right move at the right time. In this episode, I break down a few situations where running ads may do more harm than good, including when you are desperate for fast results, following bad advice, leaning on lazy templates, or lacking the runway to give ads a fair shot.
