Hello!
Just wanted to share ways how to learn advertisement without the need of going through those 12 Hour Courses online.
When I had to learn Facebook ads and the general way of advertising to deliver results to my first SMMA client I didn't have enough time to go through those 12-hour courses online, so here is what I did to learn it as quickly as I could:
YouTube: Channels like Ben Heath's etc have 10-minute tutorials on the topic of Facebook ads, strategies, how to use the platforms, important updates, etc, but instead of just watching them, I highly recommend you always take notes of them and go through them later on.
You can watch Ben Heath's one-hour guides to understand and know what each option in the ads manager is for and when to use it and how to use it.
Books: Breakthrough Advertisement is the best book written on advertisement, you can find PDFs of it online. Sell like crazy is a pretty good book as well.
Copywriting: You need to have good copywriting skills in order to catch the prospect's attention and get them to read your ad, every line written on your ad has the responsibility to make the reader read the next line and so forth. You can check out swipe.co and take a look at the ads and write them down on a piece of paper for practice other than that you can just practice in your niche by writing down an ad copy of the certain product.
