How To Advertise on Facebook for Magicians and Entertainers

We live in confusing times. Google is trying to become a social media platform (witness the rise of G+) and Facebook is trying to become a search engine. How? By letting you type in search terms into their HUGE database you can search for people, the exact type of person, the person who think would be your ideal customer, and design an ad for just them to see .. and hopefully they will act upon it.

What is confusing is how to use Facebook ads in a way that doesn't automatically empty your wallet with little results. In this session we will to give you some clear strategies how to avoid this. Our guest is Bryan Fulton is Director of Digital Marketing at  Bullet Point Branding who knows all about constructing facebook ads specifically ones that will help entertainers. This all about targeting your potential clients. 

Bryan Fulton is a comedy juggler who now mixes performing with helping clients get results through their Facebook ad campaigns. It's great when people use their chosen technology on themselves, that they practise what they preach.  Bryan has and he talks about the ?/% rise in his own show bookings.

In Episode #64, Rick Mathes preaches on the Acts 5:17-21, where the apostles received persecution, was arrested, but later freed by the angel of the Lord and was commanded to,"Stand in the temple courts, and tell the people about this new life." And that is what we are to do today. We are to proclaim this new life to others around us about our new life in Christ. This command provides many benefits, and sets the ground work of our proclamation of Christianity. From milk to meat! Lets learn together my brother and sisters the fundamental truths about our transformation in this weeks sermon.
