I kind of want to be that one person who dislikes all your videos as a joke but I can't bring myself to do it. This stuff is too good!

[@denissepena2424]

I've watched loads of these by Indieprenuer, and I love how concise and jam-packed with pros and cons. Great content!

[@grahammackinnon7872]

The fact I signed up via Facebook Marketing is a testament to the reliability of all of this. Keep going!

[@MichaelGilboe]

This is the best and most straightforward discussion on Facebook for musicians I have found. Thanks!

[@iampericotv737]

i agree 100%

[@connorlancaster7541]

Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and to guide you. CZcams channel Cleveland street preachers and follow Jesus no man no religion. Hebrews 5:9 “salvation is for those who obey. Be holy and obey Jesus.u

[@truability]

It’s great to see the 3 different levels of an ad explained. I’ve made many ads and figured it out as I go, but having them laid out this way and explained was super helpful!

[@ELJAGUAR]

bro, you are the only one i understand in this FB bubble. Thank you for the content, Sub earned

[@MokaiMusic]

This is probably the most concise, thorough run-down on youtube of how FB ads manager works from an indie musician perspective. The ads I ran using these methods from Circa got way more attention than anything else I'd tried.

[@andressamur3838]

Ive spent so much time looking for music promotion tips and tutorials.
Most people out there just give these generic advices like "Create good content!" or "Send to bloggers and Follow up!" All of this basic stupid things that we already know.
You guys are actually giving real, concrete and detailed advices, so thank you for that, you got a suscriber.

[@musicmarketing]

Hey, thanks! We have the same frustration, which is why this channel exists. STOKED you're digging our stuff. Welcome to the #IndieFam 💪

[@ColbyJeffers]

I appreciate how purposeful and thorough you are with all your videos. This content is so empowering 💪💪

[@betterbreed901]

Man I LOVE the knowledge you’re constantly dropping!

[@GoomusicLtd]

Thanks for all the great info and tutorials, i have joined indiepro for a year now, love it!

[@shaelangford3353]

The best FB Ads tutorial out there. Very clear and easy to follow. Great work guys!

[@maxed_well]

You guys have helped me wrap my mind around the business side of my music SO much in the last month. Can't wait to see what I learn in the next month!

[@ValentineBennett]

I’m an indie pro member. Highly recommend the program. It’s incredibly informative. Love you guys!

[@josemiguelmolinafernandez4045]

[@fedbysound]

Found you on a Facebook ad. Your content is top notch! Thank you!

[@JEllisJames]

I feel like I'm ACTUALLY starting to get my head around how fb ad campaigns work! Love your delivery and the way you break it down for us.

[@agentcalm]

I'm still lost but I agree, this vid is the only one I found that actually breaks FB ads down to their various sections and options. It is sinking in slowly but I'll need to watch this a few times. Never was a fast learner.

[@ShantiLleone]

Seriously u guys rock. Everytime I watch your videos I learn so much and have to sit there with a notebook - thanks for existing!!!

[@scionrae]

This is the first online visual class I've been engaged in. Thank you for teaching!

[@MaxxDiaz]

I can’t even begin to describe how comprehensive and helpful these courses are. I just recently enrolled but I feel like im learning so much.

[@RM-uy3wo]

6.2k subs!? your content trumps a lot of the bigger pages I see. Keep this up. Very easy to comprehend and stay engaged with.

[@amandaduncanmusic]

Man, this was packed with a lot of stuff I thought I knew, but didn't really know as much as I thought I did. Haha! Every video you're putting up it just knocking it out of the park. Sheesh!

[@musicmarketing]

[@musicmarketing]
