Three Reasons Why Facebook Shuts Down Ad Accounts

1. Not including a Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions on your landing page/website.

At least get a templated version and modify it according to how
you use your data. Don’t copy and paste someone else’s policies.

You can easily Google for privacy policy and T&C templates…

2. The content of your ad text, image, video, and landing page

If you have one of the following, then you have a HIGH chance of getting your ad account shut down:

– Racist remarks
– Provocation
– Too much information
– Too confusing
– Too irrelevant to the target audience
– Copying competitor ads
– Too clickbaity / disruptive to grab attention
– Landing page uses popups and autoplay videos

Eg. Using racist remarks, or telling them how ugly they are without your product, or telling them their life sucks without your course

3. Advertising something that’s in Facebook’s Prohibited Content / Restricted Content.

Follow their updated ads policy to the T. It’s in plain English, no legal mumbo-jumbo so don’t worry!

https://www.facebook.com/policies/ads/

Account shutdowns are mostly done by bots/automated algorithms. Only when you appeal, a real person MAY look into your account and pages.

And that could take several days to get your account back. So just in case shit hits the fan, you have a backup to run on.

Always have 2 or 3 ad accounts in your arsenal. And install pixels from 2 or 3 different ad accounts for your pages.

You can create additional ad accounts in your business manager at business.facebook.com.

Peace…

7 Life Lessons from Warren Buffett

7 Life Lessons from Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett is a huge inspiration to me since he founded the Giving Pledge in 2009 with Bill Gates, pledged to give away 99% of his wealth to charitable causes and also asked other billionaires pledge to give away at least half of their fortunes. He taught me better than doing good in this world, you can do greater good by earning a lot of money and changing and doing things in scale to change bigger problems. Him and Bill Gates are an inspiration to me in this regard.

Buffett is an American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist. He is considered one of the most successful investors in the world and has a net worth of over 80 billion dollars, he’s one of the richest people in our planet. He is noted for his adherence to value investing and for his personal frugality despite his immense wealth.

Here are 7 life lessons I’d learnt from Buffett’s way of doing things: (I’ve also added a few tidbits from other successful people and coaches)

1. Create a Safety Net For Yourself, Your Company, and Your Family

Warren Buffett always plays a safe game even after he’s gained a lot of wealth. He stays away from investments he doesn’t know about. He has kept him away from Wall Street speculations. Still, he’s aware that things could turn bad anytime, so he always has creates a safety net that can let him survive for a minimum period of at least a year without any income.

Warren Buffet had saved almost $1000 by the time he finished school. He also advises avoiding debts that are beyond your capability. He himself leads a simple life without the fancy cars and million dollar houses. Interestingly, Buffett still lives in the house that he lived 41 years ago.

Previously, the man who retained the title of the richest person in America, the founder of Walmart, Sam Walton also learnt the lesson of creating a safety net from his father. His father used to offer mortgage loans to farmers but was a great money manager. He risked all his money to lend to farmers in America post world war I when things were tough in America. But he always kept a coffee can full of money and a piece of land that’s clear from any liabilities for use in case they would go through tough times.

Earl Nightingale, in his Strangest Secret audiobook, encourages the same – Earl encourages to save at least 10% of income all the time and never to touch it unless and until there is a dire situation. Similarly, T. Harv Eker calls this as Financial Freedom account and asks to put away 10% of all income. His money jar system is great to manage money in an effective way. Similar to Warren Buffet, Harv Eker advises to save more when your income increases and not to spend so much on living an extravagant lifestyle with the things that you don’t need. (Image courtesy: https://www.smartaboutmymoney.com)

2. Choose Simplicity over Complexity

“The difference between successful people and successful people is that successful people say no to almost everything.” Warren Buffett.

Warren Buffet is a man of simplicity. He’s stayed away from complex instruments such as derivatives. He stays away from businesses that he doesn’t understand. He only invests in the businesses that he understands such as Insurance and Coca Cola. Being simple is to start saying NO to things that you don’t need and the things that won’t help you stay your course when it comes to business or life.

3. Take One Step At a Time

“I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.” ~ Warren Buffett.

The journey to success is a ladder and you have to take one step at a time. Buffet has won his success by focusing on small wins. He worked on one company at a time. He also follows this for his family life.

4. Buy When Others Want To Sell

“A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. And most certainly, fear is now widespread, gripping even seasoned investors. To be sure, investors are right to be wary of highly leveraged entities or businesses in weak competitive positions. But fears regarding the long-term prosperity of the nation’s many sound companies make no sense. These businesses will indeed suffer earnings hiccups, as they always have. But most major companies will be setting new profit records 5, 10 and 20 years from now.”

Business and investments always follow the pattern of supply and demand. Warren’s investments have always been to buy the stocks when the prices are low; and wait in a disciplined way until the stock prices soar a lot. He does that using his value investing methodology that he learnt from his mentor Benjamin Graham. This is the secret behind his success.

I’d like to refer to two another success story: Indian Starbucks competitor Coffee Day’s founder V.G. Siddhartha bought a lot of coffee plantations while others were selling them off. Now all of Coffee Day’s franchises run out of the coffee beans produced by these plantations he bought for cheap a long time back. This always gives Coffee Day a competitive edge over any other competitors in India. They don’t have to worry if coffee bean prices shoot up in the market because they produce their own coffee beans.

5. Avoid Speculations

“Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget rule No. 1.” – Warren Buffett.

Chet Holmes in his famous book “The Ultimate Sales Machine” states that he has observed that there are three types of executives. A full 90% are tactical executives, 9% are strategic executives, the remaining 1% are both strategic and tactical executives and are the most effective executives. In business and investment, tactics are cheap. Speculation is a tactic, In investment, charts and markers are tactics, Following the news is a tactic. But looking at the fundamentals and determining whether a company has the money to survive for another 10, 20, or 30 years is a strategic approach. That’s what Warren Buffet does. If you want to learn more about his investment methodology, Google Value Investing.

Now, I don’t know whether Warren Buffett falls under the 9% or the 1% but certainly, he doesn’t fall under the 90% who follow the masses or follow the next new tactic and end up losing money. He is certainly a strategic person. He never loses money on the stock market. Chet Holmes also says that when you take a tactical action, always justify the strategy behind the decision to execute the tactic. Doing so will increase the effectiveness of the tactic 5 times over.

6. Play The Long Game

“If plan A doesn’t work, the alphabet has 25 more letters – 204 if you’re in Japan.” ― Claire Cook

Failure is just a detour in your path. Whenever Warren Buffett invests in a company and the company’s stock prices go down – he never short-sells the stock. He only invested in this stock after he looked at the company’s fundamentals and he believed in the company’s vision and market potential over the long term. Warren stays invested and will wait until the stock prices jump back, and it sure does because he never buys based on speculation.

I keep hearing this from many successful people, that we should never give up on our goals. If a path you took towards a goal doesn’t work, you haven’t failed on the goal, just the path was wrong. We have to figure out another path that works and we can get to that destination. Successful people are the most resilient people on the planet. They never give up.

7. Take Responsibility for Your Successes and Failures

“As you move along in your career, you always want to consider your inner scorecard that is how you feel about your own performance and success. You should worry more about how well you perform rather than how well the rest of the world perceives your performance.” – Warren Buffett

We need to be able to judge ourselves on how well we are performing against our own success and failures. And have an inner compass that measures how well you are doing over your past performance. If you fail, take responsibility for that failure and don’t blame anyone else for that. Learn what you did wrong and be proactive to correct that mistake in you and do it better next time.

A quick trivia: If you improve your life 1% every day over the next 365 days, how much would you have improved over the course of the 365 days? Comment your answers below. Also, let me know how and which of these lessons are you going to adopt into your life.

Success Secrets of The World’s Most Powerful and The Richest

Success Secrets of The World’s Most Powerful and The Richest

I recently came across this test called the Wealth Dynamics test. The wealth dynamics test is a personality test that tells you exactly what strategy you should follow to build wealth. And I learned that the most successful people and the richest were lords, creators, and a mechanics as per their research. 

So, I went and did further research on analysing these successful people. Here’s the clues and secrets of the world’s most powerful, successful, and the richest lords, creators, and mechanics.

If you model their behavior and you could become successful too:

  1. They model other’s success. They take ideas from other successful people and they don’t reinvent the wheel.
  2. They are honest.
  3. They deliver products and services of the highest value. Goods that are faster, quicker, cheaper, and better than the competition.
  4. They are excellent money managers. They invest, and save for a rainy day. They keep a check on markets and economies. They keep an eye on their bottom line (profits).

  9. They are unconventional. They don’t follow the status-quo. They get in/buy when most people are getting out.
  10. They take calculated risks. They think that not taking risks is a guaranteed way to fail.
  11. They aren’t afraid to fail. They celebrate failure as good as celebrating their successes. They feel that failure gives them a new direction.

How to build a 2500$/m business in 10 days with zero dollars down? #AskMzee

Q: If you had 10 days and needed to make around $2500 at least with absolutely nothing lined up, what would you do? (I’m a freelance WordPress girl & do brand management so I’m thinking along those lines.)

A: Offer to help 10 people for FREE for small WordPress jobs. offer them your retainer contract.

One or two of them will convert to paying clients for Long term work/retainer.

Say you charge 500$ for retainer every month, then you need to find 5 clients for you to earn 2500 every month.

To get 5 clients, worst case you need to work 50 small jobs. Best case 25 small jobs. Within a week you could reach 2500/m in Long-term earnings!

As entrepreneurs, we need to focus on long-term earnings. Don’t focus on the short term, or else every month you will have a hard time finding work.
