I recommend going with Facebook Ads. YouTube ads are more complex to manage in terms of creating ad assets, whereas with Facebook you can run static creatives and achieve very good results.

If you're a beginner with a limited budget, Facebook Ads is usually the better choice. It's easier to start with, gives quicker results, and you can target specific audiences to get conversions (sales/leads). YouTube Ads can be great too, but it requires more budget and experience to manage effectively, and results might take longer to see.

For me, Facebook ads are better because I can test ads quickly and see results faster. it is also easier to change creatives and scale once something works.
thanks for the tip. i'm testing some digital products right now. do you think fb is better for impulse buys or should i go straight to yt for better quality leads?

I think it depends on your goal. I found facebook better for direct conversions and retargeting, you tube works great for awareness and cheaper click, but takes time to convert.
Building on the idea of starting with Facebook Ads, I've seen a significant reduction in ad spend waste by focusing on lookalike audiences and using the "lowest cost" bidding strategy. This approach allowed me to reach high-intent buyers at a 30% lower cost per acquisition compared to targeting broader interests. When transitioning to YouTube Ads, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of your target audience's viewing habits and preferences, which can be gained through Facebook's robust targeting options and user behavior data. By doing so, I was able to increase my YouTube Ads ROI by 25% by creating more targeted and relevant video content. Additionally, using Facebook's automatic ad rotation feature can help identify top-performing ad creatives, which can then be replicated on YouTube for better results.

Start with fb ads because it’s much more beginner-friendly and way better for driving quick conversions on a tight budget. yt is great for brand awareness, but you’ll burn through your cash way too fast without a solid video strategy

I think YouTube Ads works better for storytelling and high ticket offers, but Facebook Ads is easier for quick testing and volume.

For me, facebook works better for quick sales.
You tube feels slower but brings more quality traffic, so I use it more for long term or branding.

Choosing between Facebook Ads and YouTube Ads depends on your goals and audience. Facebook Ads are great for targeting specific demographics, interests, and behaviors, making them ideal for driving traffic, leads, or conversions. YouTube Ads, on the other hand, excel at brand awareness and engagement through video content, reaching people who are actively watching videos related to your industry or interests. Both platforms can be highly effective if used strategically, so understanding your audience and campaign objectives is key to making the right choice.

Tested both Facebook Ads and YouTube Ads on small budgets.
For beginners + limited budget, Facebook is usually easier to start with.
What I’ve seen:
Facebook tends to give results faster, especially for simple offers.
YouTube worked better for me when:
So if I had to start again:
I’d go Facebook first, learn basics, then test YouTube later.
Both can work, just different learning curve.

- YouTube = better quality traffic sometimes, but harder to get right (creatives + targeting)

YouTube worked better for me when:
- I had a solid video
- and a bit more budget to test
