One of my biggest pet peeves is when advertisers share amazing conversion results while omitting important context. This is typically done to impress current clients, prospective clients, or other advertisers. In some cases, they simply don’t know better. In others, they do know better, but they are knowingly deceiving their audience. The purpose of this post is to help you know better.

In 2024, we saw social media evolve in many ways — from numerous updates to some platforms ( cough Meta) to explosive growth for others (Bluesky!). We’re also watching things like the U.S. TikTok ban , which, as of writing this article, will happen on January 19 if not overturned or paused. It wasn’t just the platforms that changed — creators also had their moments on social, with some moving to start businesses, some exploring new platforms, and some reaching milesto

Meta ads conversion results are central to the job of an advertiser. They are our guiding light for helping us understand whether something is or isn’t working. But conversion results can be misleading, if not outright lie. That could be because an advertiser is knowingly manipulating the data. It could also be that they aren’t knowledgable enough to understand the nuances.

There’s a bit of a misconception that it’s “too late” to get started as a creator in 2025. Sure, the TikTok boom of 2020 is behind us (RIP days where videos of your sourdough starter got 10K views), but that doesn’t mean you’ve missed the boat. For one thing, it’s probably never going to be as easy as it is right now, ever again.

In fact, many successful creators and brands have a secret: they crosspost across platforms to get more mileage out of their content. Our data shows this approach is remarkably common — 59% of posts created in Buffer are posted to more than one social media platform.
