Can't run FB ads on your own profile?

No problem.

Here's how you use a virtual browser to run ads safely on someone else's FB account.

** Thread **

In order for this to work, you need to have permission from someone to use their FB profile.

Whether that's a friend/family of yours or some random guy/gal you pay.

Because you'll need the login information to their FB profile.

Just a heads up.
A virtual browser is the best solution I've found for this.

A remote access tool like Splashtop is an alternative option but the user has to have their computer on if you want to access it.
This can create a bunch of headaches which is why I prefer to use a virtual browser.

It allows you to access the user's computer alongside them so you're able to log on whenever you like no matter if the user is using their computer or not.
I'm sure there are a bunch of options for virtual browsers but I use Multilogin ==> https://t.co/RF6s0Mto8f

99% of you will be fine with the Solo package which is around $100 a month.

Small price to pay, if this is the only option you have to run ads.
Then you'll need to go to https://t.co/MDws35jji9 and purchase the micro package.

This should be a sufficient amount of data for most of you if you're just going to be using ads manager.
After creating an account, set up your proxy.

You'll need to use the username/password later to setup the profile in ML.
Last step before we start setting up the profile in ML.

Go onto the user's computer you'll be running the ads from and download the chrome extension below.

Then download their cookies and send them to yourself.
Now, download and open ML on your computer.

Press the 'Create New' button in the top left hand corner.

Give the profile a name and select the operating system.

Then click on 'Edit proxy settings' 👇
Select 'HTTP Proxy'.

Type in 'https://t.co/rOojGJ5dJy' for the IP/host and 10000 for the port.

Then type in your username and password from smart proxy that I mentioned earlier in the thread.
You're all set to create the profile now.

After it's made, click the 3 dots next to the 'Start' button.

Click 'Cookie Import' and upload the excel doc.

And voila, you're good to start using this virtual browser to access their facebook account.
Hope this thread can help some of you run ads after getting your personal FB profile banned.

20 Most Important Lesson of 2020

// A THREAD //


It was a fast and weird year.

The year of change.

My life changed a lot and I learned even more.

Here are the 20 most important lessons - which will shape the upcoming decade for me.


1. Systems Are Better Than Goals

In the past, I failed many of my goals.

This year I've realized that it could be caused by the fact that they were goals, not systems.

Thanks, @ScottAdamsSays for helping me realize this.

2. Use Notion More

@NotionHQ is definitely the most useful tool I've discovered this year.

I use it for:

- Twitter
- Freelance CRM
- Content Creation
- Website project management

And for personal use, it's completely free.


3. Email Is Immortal

This year we saw on social sites:

- Shadow bans
- Normal bans
- Decreasing reach (e.g. during the presidential election)

That's why I believe building an independent audience e.g. email list is mandatory.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):

• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
