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.

LinkedIn posts and industry headlines would have you believe organic social media is dead. Breathing its last gasp. Being shoved aside in favor of pay-to-play approaches. Yet, organic social media persists. It now requires more strategy, time and resources, but dismissing it entirely in favor of paid ads is shortsighted. Theres still real value to be found in focusing on organic growth.

Even if you have a solid organic social media strategy and a high posting cadence, this doesnt mean your social followers are seeing your content. Social remains largely a pay-to-play game as the algorithms favor paid over organic content, unless that organic content is so surprising that it breaks through the clutter. This is a rare thing and very difficult for brands to do regularly.
