[01:05] There are still so many different advertising platforms you can use besides the top two. [01:20] Figure out where your audience is hanging out. [01:25] In general, you will make more money from Facebook and Google AdWords, because they scale more quickly. [01:35] However, other avenues can be nearly as successful.
