There are advantages and disadvantages to doing this and we go through the different ways, as well as my top tip to save yourself money and convert successfully with online advertising.To learn about the Facebook Pixel and using it for podcasting listen to this episode.
We recommended also trying all the other ways of growing a podcast first, and if you have some money to spend maybe try hiring a VA to do all of these promotional tasks for you. We recommend EmilyVA, over at http://emilyva.com/
