I spent $1 to test the biggest myth in Facebook Ads.
Myth: Boost Post and Real Campaign give same results.
Test Setup: $1 per day, same creative, 24 hours.
Result 1 - Boost Post:
Reach barely past own followers
No targeting control
0 link clicks tracked
Visibility only, no results
Result 2 - Real Campaign (Ads Manager):
Clear objective: Traffic
Specific audience targeting
Trackable results: Reach, Engagement, Link Clicks
$0.07 cost per result
Learning: Boosting = visibility. Campaigns = results.
This is why I never use Boost Post for restaurant clients. I use Ads Manager to get direct orders, not just likes.
Tools: Meta Ads Manager, Audience Targeting, Campaign Optimization

Love this test! $1/day same creative 24h - clear difference. Boost Post = reach only past followers, no targeting. Real campaign = link clicks tracked. I always tell my shoe brand clients - boost is visibility only, no results. Great experiment!
Thanks Mosharaf! Exactly — that's what I wanted to show restaurant owners.
Most restaurant owners think Boost Post = Ads. I ran this $1/day test to show them the difference in 24h.
Boost = past followers only, 0 targeting.
Real campaign = 3km radius + interest + link clicks.

A look at how the Nova Digital Studio logo came together: a cube, because 3D is what we build; engraved lines that give a flat page depth; and a simpler version that holds up at 16 pixels.
I'm open for new projects: 3D websites, digital products and Framer templates. If you're working on something, I'd love to hear about it.
Nice job bro great marketing images 🔥🔥🎉🎉
Your Google Ads could be wasting $500 every month without showing a single warning.
No error message.
No notification.
Your campaigns keep running.
Leads keep coming in.
But some of your budget may be going toward searches that were never likely to become customers.
That’s what makes it dangerous:
Wasted money doesn’t always look wasted.
Sometimes, it looks like a perfectly normal dashboard.

Great point. Google Ads can spend efficiently on the surface while still leaking budget through irrelevant search terms. Regular search-term and conversion-data reviews are essential for protecting ad spend. 👍
