Facebook: your Page and your deals Group (first 7 days)

A Page for your content, your own Group for deals, so Meta's limit on link posts doesn't hold you back. Module 10

Checked your Page notifications and Professional Dashboard for the link limit Why
Page cleaned up: name, bio, cover, action button, disclosure
Deals Group created: name, rules, membership questions, welcome post, privacy
Your Page and your Group both on your Associates website list

A Facebook tracking ID for your links How
A Group invite pinned on your Page, and your first deal of the day posted in the Group
The Group linked from your YouTube descriptions, Instagram, link-in-bio page and blog
Links only in Pages and Groups you own or run, never dropped in other people's groups

TRYBE: ad videos for brands (any time)

After a rejection, messaged the brand, then changed and resubmitted How
