Facebook Advertising Costs & other marketing links
Hello from Austin! I assembled this issue and scheduled it ahead of time because it’s been kind of a ridiculous September. I’m probably attending a lecture at Austin BGA Access as this sends. Speaking of Access, my big news that I alluded to in the last issue is that I’m the keynote speaker! I stepped in to replace someone who had to cancel. The topic is “Social Media: Marketing for Yourself and Your Coffee Company.” Two of the things I talk about (building a community & Patagonia) have some links in this issue.
No article from my own blog in this issue due to time constraints, but do enjoy the one I wrote for Sprout that gives an overview on Facebook advertising costs.

The “beautiful mess” effect: other people view our vulnerability more positively than we do
“They found evidence that when we think about our own vulnerability we do so very concretely (i.e. with a low construal level) whereas when we think about others’ vulnerability we do so more abstractly (i.e. with a high construal level)”
